What a Micro Peel Is |
| |
-
Definition: A cosmetic procedure that combines mechanical exfoliation (like dermaplaning) with a mild chemical solution, usually glycolic acid.
-
Purpose: To remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reveal fresher, healthier skin underneath.
-
Depth: Superficial compared to medium or deep chemical peels; it does not penetrate deeply enough to treat severe scars or wrinkles.

Preparation: Dead skin cells are removed through dermaplaning (gentle shaving of the skin surface).
-

-
Moisturizing: A cream is applied to prevent dryness; sometimes dry ice or stimulants are used.
-
Duration: About 30–45 minutes per session.
-
Recovery: Minimal downtime; makeup can be applied immediately after. Some redness may last up to a day.
