CIRCADIA CHEMICAL PEELS
What are they?
These chemical peels smooth and enhances the skin’s natural glow. During this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to exfoliate the outer layers of dead skin cells and to encourage cell turnover. This will result in younger, more youthful looking skin with fewer fine lines and wrinkles. Chemical peels are an effective treatment for blemished skin, rosacea, wrinkles, acne scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. A series of six treatments is recommended for optimal results.
Lactic Acid Peel
A lactic acid peel is the gentlest of all chemical peels. Suitable for a variety of skin types and colours, including sensitive skin; lactic peels are great for treating the early signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. This peel is great for restoring the skin’s optimal PH level and is ideal for people that don’t want to deal with any downtime period after the treatment.
Benefits:
Exfoliating, hydrating, gel-based peel with no downtime
