Peels

Tropical Therapy has access to peels which exfoliate the dead cells that accumulate on the corneum layers of the epidermis. We use products that are gentle yet effective, aggressive enough to smooth and brighten the skin. Through a series of peels, pigmentation is visibly reduced.

Our strongest peels are glycolic acid and lactic acid. Glycolic acid is an alphahydroxy-acid derived from sugar cane that is used in different percentages to dissolve the desmosomes between cells to keep skin cells exfoliated. Lactic Acid is derived from sour milk, and is milder on the skin than Glycolic peels. Lactic acid peel helps eliminate germs, toxins and dead cells.

When you come to Tropical Therapy for a peel, you will receive a full facial and the lactic acid or glycolid acid will be incorporated into the facial at the appropriate time. We always end the session with a mask so that you will leave our spa looking awesome, and we do our best to keep any redness to a minimum.

According to the leading doctors in anti-aging, exfoliating is an essential key to flawless skin. Peels help resurface the skin and encourage rejuvenation:

• Removes the top layers of old dry skin cells
• Stimulates the cell’s own collagen-making machinery
• Stimulates cellular turnover
• Allows serums & creams to penetrate better
• Opens clogged pores and restoring skin’s radiance

You will notice a visible change in the look of lines and wrinkles, the reduction of pore size, and the clarity of your skin.
