Glow Bar Peels
Chemical Peels for a fresh start
Our Glow Bar Peels, also known as chemical peels, are a key component of our Glowbar Facial options at True Aesthetics, offering a powerful and effective solution for various skin concerns. This treatment involves applying a specially formulated acid solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outer layers and promotes cell turnover. Chemical peels are ideal for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, treat acne, and achieve a brighter, more even complexion. Suitable for various skin types, chemical peels can be customized to address specific skin issues and desired outcomes.
Benefits
The benefits of chemical peels are long-lasting and can be highly visible. This treatment can significantly improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, resulting in smoother and more youthful-looking skin. Chemical peels are also highly effective in treating acne and reducing acne scars, helping to clear and refine the skin. By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, chemical peels reveal a brighter, more even complexion and enhance the skin’s overall texture and tone. Regular peels can also help to maintain a healthy and radiant appearance by promoting continuous cell turnover. As this is a mild treatment, we generally recommend working it into your skin maintenance routine, or committing to a 3-treatment journey.
