BODY PEELS
The face is not the only area of the body susceptible to the signs of aging. After a long and cold winter, hands can become dry, red, and cracked. Hyperpigmentation can appear on the hands, the neck, the chest, and more. Skin all over the body can become dull and lose its natural suppleness. Now you can restore your natural radiance with our perfect remedy, rejuvenating peel treatments for the body. Enjoy these luxurious treatments all on their own, or treat yourself by pairing them with a facial peel and other non-surgical beauty treatments for the ultimate skin revitalizing experience.
Body peel treatments have long been employed by the medical cosmetology industry in removing the damaged outer layer of the skin which results in a more youthful glowing skin. This type of treatment is a safe standalone procedure and is effective at removing skin dullness, sun spots, and signs of aging.
Problem areas on the arms and back of the hands can show age in the form of wrinkles and discoloration. Our arms and hands are often exposed to the sun’s damaging rays, as much as our facial skin, and these areas respond very well to a body peel boost. Other areas to treat with a body peel can include legs, back, chest and feet.
Body peels can be categorized on a spectrum of depth and intensity, from light peels to deeper treatments that penetrate the skins layers more extensively, and trigger considerable skin regeneration. Another word for natural skin exfoliation or skin peeling is desquamation. In acne prone skin, overproducing sebaceous glands keep the skin cells sticky and less able to desquamate. The outermost membrane or layer of the facial skin, instead of replenishing itself efficiently and evenly, will block pores with dead cells and oil so that acne lesions or pimples begin to form. Body peels help to promote this normal exfoliation or desquamation so that even acne prone skin can become smoother, more even-toned and blemish free.
