How chemical peels work
Light chemical peels offer a gentle yet effective way to achieve a brighter, smoother complexion. The peels contain powerful ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), which gently exfoliate the skin and encourage cellular turnover. This process helps to unclog pores, reduce the appearance of blemishes, and improve overall skin tone and texture while stimulating collagen production and leading to firmer, more resilient skin. They are also a popular choice for those looking to target concerns such as uneven skin tone, sun damage, and mild acne scars.
