Chemical Peels for Orpington & the surrounding areas
A chemical peel facial is a dermatological treatment that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, resulting in controlled exfoliation. This procedure is designed to improve the appearance and texture of the skin by removing dead skin cells and promoting the regeneration of new skin.
Chemical peels can be classified into three main categories: superficial, medium, and deep peels, which differ in terms of the depth of skin penetration & the strength of the chemical agents used.
The chemical peels used at Luxina in Orpington, Kent are superficial peels. This is a light peel that removes the top layer of skin, or epidermis, to treat skin conditions like acne, uneven skin tone, and fine wrinkles.
Superficial peels are a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that can be used on almost all skin types.
