Types of Chemical peels

Improves skin tone and texture
Circadia peels refine rough skin texture by exfoliating dead skin cells. This reveals a smoother complexion and more even, radiant skin tone.

Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
These peels increase collagen production to plump up fine lines and wrinkles from the inside out. Skin becomes firmer with a more youthful appearance.

Fades discoloration and acne scars
The acids and antioxidants in Circadia peels break down pigmentation and scar tissue. This diminishes the appearance of dark spots, melasma, and post-acne marks.
With regular treatments, an Essential Spa chemical peel can restore a smooth, unblemished complexion for gorgeous skin at any age!

FAQs on Chemical Peels
If you’re considering a peel, here are answers to some frequently asked questions:
How often should I get a peel?
For optimal results and cumulative benefits, we recommend doing a series of 3 chemical peels spaced one month apart. This allows sufficient time between treatments for skin to heal fully. We suggest increasing peel intensity gradually each session based on your tolerance and goals.
How long do results last?
What is the recovery time?
Healing time is around 5 to 7 days as treated skin regenerates and finishes peeling off. Redness may persist for up to 2 weeks before fading.
What precautions should I take?
Use daily broad spectrum SPF 30+, moisturize diligently, and avoid direct sun exposure while healing. This minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation after your treatment.
Don’t pick at peeling skin so it detaches smoothly. Follow provided aftercare instructions closely.
