Overview

What is Retinol Peel?

The Retinol Peel is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that uses a vitamin A–based formulation to promote deep exfoliation and cellular renewal. By accelerating skin turnover, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and pigmentation while improving overall firmness. The peel works by gently separating dead surface cells from the epidermis resulting in visible improvements including refined pores, reduced fine wrinkles, diminished pigmentation, and rejuvenation of sun-damaged or ageing skin.

Procedure
Step 1: First your skin is thoroughly cleansed
Step 2: A retinol-based chemical solution is carefully applied, avoiding the eyes, lips, and other sensitive areas
Step 3: Sunscreen is applied at the end of the session to protect and soothe the skin
