A 2 for 1 deal that includes both a acne focussed chemical peel and follow up extraction facial a week post-peel.

  1. A chemical peel is a treatment designed to improve skin texture and tone. An acid is applied to the skin which loosens the connections between dead skin cells, inducing exfoliation, stimulating collagen and new cell growth. This process causes superficial layers of dead skin to peel off or fluff off, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion.

  2. Extraction Facial: Most people will purge post-peel. This is the perfect time for extractions and to remove trapped congestion from the skin.

Benefits:

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Target breakouts and congestion
