GEL PEEL SM

In-spa epidermal peels are a non-invasive way to resurface and improve the health of the skin.

This chemical treatment dissolves sebum and cellular debris in pores, improves collagen synthesis and elastin fibers in the dermis, encourages cell renewal and improves the appearance of skin discoloration.

Mediterranean fruit vinegar enhances exfoliation while softening skin. Salicylic and mandelic acid work together to exfoliate the skin while decongesting pores and reducing irritation. Mandelic acid is one of the strongest AHAs and it’s large molecular structure and even penetration help prevent inflammation and irritation that can sometimes occur with AHA use. Salycilic acid is a lipid soluble BHA that penetrates pores to dissolve sebum and cellular debris. By accelerating the cell renewal process, stimulating collagen syntheses, and improving elastin fibers in the dermis, this light chemical peel revitalizes sensitive skin and helps improve the appearance of problematic skin.
