About Chemical Peels
Why I Believe in Peels
I’m all about healthy skin that actually feels good, not just chasing “perfect” trends. Chemical peels offer a real chance for your skin to start fresh, revealing a healthier layer underneath. If you’ve wondered about peels, let me say - it’s not as scary as it sounds.
What’s in a Peel?
I use alpha and beta hydroxy acids from sources like sugarcane and almonds. These aren’t harsh lab chemicals - they’re more like natural helpers that do gentle exfoliation for sensitive skin. The peel removes dead cells, which helps with dullness, uneven tone, and stubborn spots.
What Can We Fix Together?
- Acne scars chemical peel: Fades marks and calms active breakouts
- Hyperpigmentation treatment peel: Tackles dark spots, melasma, sun damage, and even helps lighten lips and under-eyes
- Texture & Glow: Smooths rough patches, softens fine lines, boosts your natural glow
How It Works
First things first - Illa (No), you can’t skip consultation. We need to figure out your skin’s story before anything else. Together, we’ll set up a custom plan with the right type and number of peels. Sessions are relaxed, quick, and you can get back to your day right after.
Real Expectations
No magic overnight results. Chemical peels for sun damage and other issues work best if you’re consistent. You’ll feel tingling, not pain, and results build up with time. I’m all for progress, not perfection.
