So what exactly is a peel? In simple terms, peels use acid (there are different types) to break down the top layer, or layers, of skin to help with your skin concerns. They can be used on most skin types and skin tones. Believe it or not, chemical peels have been around since the mide 1800s, though they have become popular since the late 90s.
What sort of peels do you offer at Bloom?
There are three types of peels ― superficial, medium-depth and deep-depth. At Bloom we only offer asap professional superficial peels (sometimes referred to as a lunchtime peel). The asap professional peels we offer use fruit acids – no down time is needed.
AHA and BHA face peels
Otherwise known as alpha hydroxy or beta hydroxy acids, these peels include glycolic acid and lactic acid – all known to be quite light, so can be performed without needing any downtime. They’re especially good for combating the above skin concerns because they break down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, allowing for easier exfoliation. asap peels use fruit enzymes and acids from natural sources such as pumpkins, as well as active ingredients to penetrate and deliver anti-oxidants and vitamins deep into the skin encouraging the new cells to grow stronger and healthier.
You will most likely feel a tingling sensation and your skin may be a bit pink at first, but it will then look instantly brighter and over time will get noticeably smoother
