Facials with fruit acids, also known as chemical peels, are a cosmetic procedure that improves the texture, complexion and overall appearance of the skin. This treatment involves the use of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHA) derived from fruits, such as citric acid from lemon, glycolic acid from sugar cane and lactic acid from milk.
The fruit acids in this treatment work by exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells, promoting cell renewal and revealing a smoother, more even skin tone. They also help stimulate collagen production, which can improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.
Facials with fruit acids can be helpful in treating a variety of skin problems such as fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and acne. They can also help unclog pores and reduce the appearance of blackheads and other blemishes.
The procedure is generally performed by a skin care professional and involves applying a chemical solution containing fruit acids to the skin. The solution is left on the skin for a certain amount of time, usually a few minutes, before it is neutralized and washed off.
After the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red, but this usually subsides within a few hours. It is important to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen for a few days after treatment to protect the newly exposed skin.
It is important to consult with us before undergoing a fruit acid facial to determine if it is the right treatment for you.
Overall, fruit acid facials are a minimally invasive and effective way to improve the appearance and health of the skin. With a few treatments, they can help reduce the signs of aging, sun damage, and other skin problems, leaving you with smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Indicators for this treatment
Skin without shine
If your skin looks dull and lacks radiance, this may be an indication that it could benefit from fruit acids. AHAs help remove dead skin cells that can make skin look dull.
Uneven skin tone
Uneven skin tone, including hyperpigmentation or dark spots, can be improved with the use of fruit acids. They can help brighten these areas and promote a more even complexion.
Rough texture
If your skin has a rough texture, it may benefit from a fruit acid peel. AHA acid can help even out the skin's surface.
Skin prone to wrinkles and fine lines
Fruit acids are often used in anti-aging skin care products because they can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production and improving skin elasticity.
Acne or acne scars
Fruit acids can be effective in treating acne and minimizing the appearance of acne scars. They help unclog pores and exfoliate the skin, reducing the likelihood of breakouts.
Potential Benefits of this
treatment
Exfoliation
Fruit acids, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), help remove dead skin cells from the skin's surface. This exfoliation process can lead to smoother, brighter and more even skin.
Improved texture
Regular use of fruit acid treatments can help improve skin texture by reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and rough spots. It can make the skin feel softer and more elastic.
Skin renewal
Fruit acids stimulate skin cell renewal, meaning new, healthier skin cells replace old ones more quickly. This can lead to a fresher, more youthful appearance.
Reduction of acne and blemishes
BHAs like salicylic acid, often derived from willow bark (a natural source), are effective at unclogging pores and reducing acne. They can also help fade acne scars and blemishes over time.
Reduction of hyperpigmentation
Fruit acid treatments can lighten and fade hyperpigmentation, such as age spots, sun spots and melasma. They work by inhibiting the production of melanin in the skin.
