Peel solutions contain many ingredients that can effectively target darkened skin cells and safely desquam the pigment within while promoting new collagen growth and removing damaged layers of tissue via drying the skin with a low PH, organically derived solution. No injury takes places, skin cells are stimulated and fed lightening agents, antioxidants and DNA repairing molecules; Providing a much more impressive outcome with lasting results
Chemical Peels have been a dermatology go-to for decades. Not only do they beautify the skin, they indefinitely improves its health but can also remove unwanted growths such as keratosis and sometimes have the ability to normalize mutated cells in the tissue that may turn into cancerous lesions
