- Glycolic Peels (Most common alpha-hydroxy acid peels)Provides a light to moderate exfoliation to help improve hyperpigmentation and melasma. Improves skin texture and minimizes pores size. By eliminating dead skin cells, better product penetration is also obtained. This peel can benefit all skin types but is ideal for oily skins.

Is there any pain or downtime?
Les peelings à l’acide glycolique et salicylique sont généralement considérés comme des «peelings légers pour le déjeuner» avec peu ou pas de temps d’arrêt. Il peut y avoir un léger inconfort qui disparaît rapidement. Un ventilateur qui dégage de l’air frais peut être remis au client au moment du peeling. Cela peut aider à atténuer la sensation de coup de soleil que certains clients ressentent lors du traitement. Des recommandations post-soins sont également données pour prendre soin de la peau.
How many treatments will I need?
3-4 consecutive treatments spaced out once every 2 weeks can help improve the overall appearance of the skin. Maintenance treatments are encouraged to keep results for longer periods of time. Often, peels are used in combination with other facial treatments such as BBL Forever Young.
