LACTIC ACID PEEL
Compared to other chemical peel types, lactic acid peel is the most gentle peel available causing less skin discomfort.
Lactic acid is hypoallergenic and skin-friendly being a naturally occurring skin component.
There is no need to hide your face from people after the procedure, because lactic acid peel doesn’t cause a strong skin flaking due to its mild effect peeling off a very thin layer of dead skin cells that is hardly noticeable.
Salon superficial lactic acid peel without pre-peel preparation is allowable inasmuch as this chemical peel is very soft and works as a skin prep for other cosmetological treatments itself. Notice that in this case more procedures are required.
Perfect for dry and hypersensitive skin, but can also work great for problem oily skin, what actually means that it suits all skin types.
Multi-action of lactic acid positively affects many processes including epidermal regeneration, skin microcirculation, glycosaminoglycan, collagen and ceramides synthesis providing deep moisture and strengthening skin’s barrier function.
As a light superficial peel, lactic acid peel is primarily designed for young skin with minor problems, but it also can be used as a part of complex therapy by women over 35.
