The lactic acid facial peel is a gentle yet effective skincare treatment that helps exfoliate the skin, revealing a smoother and brighter skin tone. By gently dissolving dead skin cells, it helps improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This rejuvenating peel also helps to stimulate collagen production, promoting firmer and more youthful-looking skin. Incorporating lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid, this facial peel is suitable for most skin types and can be a great addition to your skincare routine for a radiant and revitalized glow.

What to expect

When you go for your first lactic peel, here’s what you can expect:

1. Consultation: This is necessary to assess your skin type and to address any concernsyou may have to ensuring the peel is suitable for you.
2. Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities. A pre-peel solution may be applied to enhance the peel’s effectiveness.
3. Application: The peel solution will be evenly applied to your skin. You might feel a mild tingling or warming sensation, but it’s generally less intense than other chemical peels due to the lactic acid’s gentle nature.
4. Duration: The peel will stay on your skin for a few minutes, typically around 3-10 minutes, depending on your skin’s sensitivity and the strength of the peel.
5. Neutralization: The acid will be neutralized and washed off. Your skin might be slightly red or feel tight immediately after the procedure.
6. Aftercare: A soothing moisturiser and sunscreen will be applied. I will provide aftercare instructions and answer any questions you have .

A glycolic facial peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), which has a smaller molecular structure, so it penetrates the skin deeper and quicker. This peel is ideal for treating more advanced skin concerns like deeper wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone and is suitable for normal to oily skin types but may be too harsh for sensitive or dry skin.

A mandelic facial peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses mandelic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), to exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. This process helps reduce fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, resulting in a smoother and brighter complexion. Mandelic acid is gentler than other AHAs, making it suitable for sensitive skin and those prone to redness. It also has antibacterial properties, making it effective for treating acne and improving overall skin texture. Additionally, mandelic peels can enhance skin hydration and reduce inflammation, providing a more even and radiant appearance. With its gentle yet effective nature, a mandelic peel is an excellent choice for those seeking a milder exfoliation treatment with multiple skin benefits.
