Slough away signs of aging
Improve tone and texture and bring back the glow
Chemical peels are an ideal way to treat skincare concerns such as pigmentation, uneven skin tone, acne, and acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, and more. Aponi Aesthetics offers various levels of peels depending on the condition you wish to treat. All new patients consult with one of our skincare professionals to determine which level peel is appropriate for not only for your skincare concern but also for your lifestyle.

What to expect during treatment (peels may vary):
Skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepped to remove oils and dead surface cells. Oils can prevent the peels from penetrating the skin and reduce the overall results. Lips and mucous membranes are then protected with Aquaphor. The actual peeling solution is applied to the area; in some cases, multiple passes of the acids will be conducted. During this process, the patient can hold a fan to their skin if they are uncomfortable. Some may experience a slight, tingling feeling. An SPF will be applied to the area treated post-op. We recommend wearing sunscreen and moisturizer throughout the day every day for at least a week. Patients will experience a slight tightness for the first 24-48 hours. The skin may be red, warm, and possibly itchy for the early 24 hours.
Post-peel protocol
While skin is peeling, we recommend not to pick or peel the dead skin. This could lead to permanent scarring and pigmentation. Some of the peels come with an at-home skincare kit that is used while the skin is peeling. Gentle facial cleansers are recommended; and no scrubs, exfoliants, or loofahs should be used. Sun exposure should be avoided for at least one week, and sunscreen is essential every day to maintain results.
What is the TOX Booster?
The Tox Booster is 2 treatments in one! First, the peel solution is applied to the face, and then, we administer your tox right after. The Peel will slough off dead skin cells and lighten superficial pigment, while the “tox” or wrinkle relaxer will soften facial lines and wrinkles.
