Chemical peel — Signature with peel
Controlled resurfacing, dosed after assessment — not a peel straight out of the bottle.
The treatment
A chemical peel accelerates cell turnover by dissolving the bonds between dead cells. Correctly dosed, it transforms texture, congestion and pigmentation; badly dosed, it damages the barrier. Hence the systematic prior assessment.
Based on your assessment, your esthetician selects the acid family: BHA (salicylic acid) for acne, enlarged pores and congestion; AHA for light resurfacing and hyperpigmentation; or a retinol booster for deeper renewal.
The full protocol includes the Signature treatment, soothing post-peel LED therapy and a regenerating hyaluronic acid or PDRN mask.

Frequently asked questions
Will I visibly peel?
It depends on the depth chosen. A light peel produces fine flaking around the nose and chin; a stronger one can peel the whole face for three to four days.
Can I have one in summer?
Yes, with rigorous sun protection. Some acids are reserved for the cold season: your esthetician adjusts to the time of year.
