Cool Peel/Cold Peel

Cold Peel
A cold peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that involves applying a mild chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, promoting the regeneration of new skin. The term “cold” refers to the relatively gentle nature of the peel comparing to Chimical peeling, which minimizes discomfort and downtime.
How it works
Cold peels typically use lower concentrations of chemical exfoliants, such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or lactic acid. These ingredients help to:
Exfoliate the outer layer of the skin
Stimulate collagen production
Improve skin texture and tone
Reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation
Procedure
Consultation: A skincare professional assesses your skin type and concerns to determine if a cold peel is appropriate.
Preparation: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities.
Application: The chemical solution is evenly applied to the skin using a brush or cotton pad.
Reaction Time: The solution is left on the skin for a specified period, usually a few minutes, depending on the peel's strength and the patient's skin sensitivity.
Neutralization and Removal: The peel is neutralized and washed off with water or a neutralizing solution.
