Alkaline Peel

Most professional peels use acids (glycolic, lactic, salicylic, TCA) to exfoliate. An alkaline peel works in the opposite direction on the pH scale — using an alkaline solution to break down the protein bonds holding dead skin cells together. This allows deep cleansing and exfoliation without the inflammatory response acids can cause, making it particularly suitable for sensitive or reactive skin.

Yes — alkaline peels pair well with LED, microneedling, hydrating facials, or Dermalux. We often use them as a skin prep before deeper treatments.

Yes. Alkaline peels carry a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation than traditional acid peels, making them a useful option across Fitzpatrick I–VI.
