SkinCeuticals Peels in Atlanta Superficial Salicylic & Glycolic Peels

What is SkinCeuticals Peels?

Many people have an aversion to chemical peels because they believe, as the name would suggest, that you peel, and this can be very disruptive for anyone with a busy schedule.

But contrary to popular belief, not every peel makes your skin shed and flake off. They are known as superficial peels and while you won’t flake and peel, they are still effective without the downtime. All of the SkinCeuticals peels that we carry at WIFH are in that category.

These peels are safe for all skin types and ethnicities

SkinCeuticals peels pair well with dermaplaning, HydraFacial and microdermabrasion.

How Does SkinCeuticals Peels Work?

Getting a Chemical peel or simply “peels” is a very popular skin resurfacing procedure. There is a chemical peel available for every skin type and skin condition. There are peels that offer no-peeling, meaning the exfoliation does not result in the sloughing of skin. These are known as superficial peels and we offer a variety of superficial peels formulated by SkinCeuticals, the pioneers of cosmeceutical skincare products.

Each SkinCeuticals peel is done as part of a facial and includes a deep cleanse, peel application, soothing mask and customized products to hydrate and protect your skin.
