The treatment
Indication and principle
A peel applies a controlled exfoliating substance. The depth — superficial, medium or deep — determines the effect and after-effects.
Indications: uneven texture, dull complexion, certain pigment spots, superficial acne scars. Depth depends on phototype. Skin preparation reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation.

In practice
How a session proceeds

Plain speaking
What this treatment does not do
- It does not fill wrinkles: a peel acts on the surface, not on volume.

- It does not treat skin laxity or excess skin.
