Retinol Peel, as the name suggests is a chemical peel which uses the least invasive technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. The procedure helps to improve uneven skin tone and texture and also aids in skin replenishment.

The main purpose of conventional peeling agents is to remove the accumulated old cells and promote turnover. In recent years, peeling agents have been widely used not only for their peeling effects, but also for their various anti-aging effects. Usually, this treatment can be done 5 to 6 times at 3 to 4 week intervals for the effective results.

The treatment involves applying a chemical solution to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the skin that been damaged from the result of aging, sun exposure, a poor diet, and environmental pollution.

A chemical peel can help improve acne or acne scars, age and liver spots, fine lines and wrinkles, freckles, irregular skin pigmentation, rough skin and scaly patches, and sun-damaged skin. However, sagging skin, bulges, and more severe wrinkles do not respond well to chemical peels. After a chemical peel, the skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun and we recommend using sunscreen every day.

Retinol peel (vitamin A) main ingredients are:
① 3-Retinol System
② Hyaluronic Acid
③ Zinc

A triple retinol system provides intermittent retinoid benefits to the skin. ​In addition, zinc protects the skin from free radicals, and the synergistic effect of hyaluronic acid and retinol promotes the production of new hyaluronic acid

Q3: How do you determine the concentration of the peeling solution or is it the same for everyone?
A3: The concentration of solution will be adjusted according to the condition of the skin and the number of times it has been peeled before.

Therefore, you will not be able to apply makeup immediately after the treatment, but please be informed that you will be sent home with a yellow face covered with chemicals.
