Brightening Peels are a series of gentle combination exfoliation techniques, combining two types of gentle peeling agents using salicylic acid or Jessner’s with TCA.

Compatible with all skin types, this type of skin brightening program gently exfoliates the skin chemically to gradually restore the luminosity of the skin within days. Treatment begins with superficial gentle exfoliation of superficial layer of skin with either salicylic acid or Jessner’s, followed by the deeper application of TCA for spot treatment or global improvement.

The peel is usually done in a series of five treatments every three to four weeks over the course of four to five months.

Correctable conditions include melasma and uneven skin tone.
