Face Peels: The Secret to Radiant, Rejuvenated Skin

Face Peels, also known as Chemical Peels, are dermatological treatments that use specially formulated acids to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. These peels help remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and target concerns such as acne, pigmentation, fine lines, and dullness.

Types of Face Peels

1. Superficial Peels (Mild Peels)

✅ Uses mild acids like Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) or Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA).
✅ Exfoliates the top layer of the skin, improving skin tone and texture.
✅ Ideal for dull skin, mild acne, and minor pigmentation.
✅ Minimal downtime, mild redness, and peeling.

Examples:

• Glycolic Acid Peel (Brightening & anti-aging)
• Lactic Acid Peel (Hydrating & gentle for sensitive skin)
• Salicylic Acid Peel (Oil control & acne treatment)

2. Medium Peels

✅ Uses stronger acids like TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) to penetrate deeper into the skin.

3. Deep Peels
