SKIN PEELS
If uneven tone, dullness, fine lines, or stubborn breakouts are dimming your glow and impacting your confidence, you're not alone. While retail products can provide some benefit, they often fall short of delivering truly lasting change. Real transformation requires treatments that can effectively target concerns beyond the surface level. With varying depths, chemical peels can be tailored to meet individual skin needs, offering minimal downtime for lighter peels and significant rejuvenation for deeper treatments.
About Skin Peels
WHAT IT IS
Skin peels, often referred to as chemical peels, are cosmetic procedures that involve applying a chemical solution to the skin. This solution exfoliates the outermost layers of the skin, causing controlled damage and encouraging cellular turnover and regeneration. The goal is to remove damaged outer layers, reveal smoother, healthier skin underneath, and stimulate collagen production. At Girltox Aesthetics we offer chemical peels of varying depths and intensities, customized for each client.
HOW IT WORKS
A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to your face to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate a fresher, younger-looking complexion. When the dull, damaged surface layer of your skin is removed, new, healthier cells grow in its place. While chemical peels effectively exfoliate dead skin cells, revealing a more youthful, radiant complexion, its important to plan for recovery as It is essential to avoid the sun and active skincare ingredients (retinol, vitamin C, etc.) until your skin is fully healed.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Each appointment will include as assessment of your skin, review of your concerns and our provider will help you understand the differences amongst the peels, and suggest the peel that works best for your skin type and concerns. On average, a chemical peel can take between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of peel and the number of layers applied. During the application, you may feel a warming sensation. Light peels generally require little to no downtime, while medium and deep peels may require a few weeks to recover.
