Reveal Smooth, Radiant Skin with Body Peels

While facial peels are well-known for their ability to rejuvenate the skin, body peels offer the same transformative benefits for areas below the neck. At AKS Clinic, our specialized body peel treatments are designed to exfoliate, hydrate, and renew your skin, leaving it smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking.

What is a Body Peel?

A body peel is a chemical exfoliation treatment that targets the skin on your body, working to remove dead skin cells, smooth rough texture, and improve overall skin tone. These peels are formulated with active ingredients such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and enzymes that penetrate the skin’s surface, promoting cell turnover and revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath.

Benefits of Body Peels

  • Exfoliation: Body peels effectively slough off dead skin cells, helping to smooth and soften rough patches, such as those on the elbows, knees, and back.
  • Improves Skin Tone and Texture: By removing the top layers of damaged skin, body peels help even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of discoloration, sun damage, and age spots.
  • Hydration: Many body peels are infused with moisturizing agents that hydrate the skin, leaving it supple and radiant.
  • Reduces Body Acne: For those struggling with body acne on areas like the back or chest, body peels can help to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts.
  • Prepares Skin for Other Treatments: Body peels can enhance the effectiveness of other treatments, such as body contouring or laser therapy, by creating a smooth, receptive skin surface.

Common Areas Treated with Body Peels

  • Back: Smooth out rough texture, reduce acne scars, and brighten the skin for a flawless appearance.
  • Arms: Address issues like keratosis pilaris ("chicken skin"), rough patches, and sun damage for smoother, softer skin.
  • Legs: Exfoliate dry, flaky skin and improve the overall tone and texture of your legs, perfect for those looking to show off a glowing complexion.
  • Hands: Reduce signs of aging, such as age spots and fine lines, while softening the skin on your hands.
  • Chest: Target sun damage, pigmentation, and fine lines for a more even, youthful appearance.

What to Expect During Your Body Peel Treatment

Your body peel treatment begins with a consultation where we assess your skin concerns and determine the best type of peel for your needs. The procedure involves applying the peel solution to the targeted area, allowing it to penetrate and work on the skin. Depending on the strength of the peel, you may feel a tingling or warming sensation during the treatment. After the peel is neutralized and removed, a soothing moisturizer or serum is applied to hydrate and protect the skin.

Aftercare and Results

Following your body peel, it's normal to experience some redness, sensitivity, and peeling in the treated area as your skin renews itself. These effects typically subside within a few days. It's important to follow post-treatment care instructions, including avoiding sun exposure and applying sunscreen to protect the newly revealed skin. Results from a body peel can include smoother, brighter, and more evenly toned skin, with continued improvements over time.
