Power Resurfacing Peel
What is the difference between the Pro Power Peel and the Power Resurfacing Peel?
The Power Resurfacing Peel is a more intense peel, implementing a form of exfoliation at every step. It is an AHA concentrated treatment along with a complex of enzymes and peptides to boost exfoliation to leave you with a smooth complexion that allows for better product absorption.

Avoid working out or excessive sweating the day of treatment and avoid prolonged exposure to heat sources such as saunas or steam rooms

Increase your fluid intake for the next 2-3 days to maintain hydration
