  • As we transition into fall we enter what is known in the aesthetic world as peel season. Chemical peels are a deep service that make your skin more sensitive to the sun so after treatment. It's highly recommended to avoid direct sun exposure after a peel. Fall and winter, the cool seasons, are the best time to get a chemical peel treatment because we spend less time in the sun, lowering the amount of UV exposure to the skin.

  • There is a large variety of chemical peel types and the intensity they provide. Because of this, your esthetician at Melaskiin will always conduct a consultation before administering any peel on a client. It's also good to know because of the control over how deep a peel is, Melaskiin has a selection of peels to cater to everyone.
