AFA Antioxidant Chemical Peel
AFA is an acronym that stands for Amino Acid Filaggrin Based Antioxidants. Filaggrin is a type of amino acid naturally produced in the upper layer of the skin to help preserve moisture content. AFA skin peels and skin care products help you to preserve your skin’s moisture content naturally, without the addition of any harsh or irritating chemicals. AFAs are non-photosensitizing and are the most effective at improving photo-pigmentation than any other skin care solution.
Extraordinary AFA Results:
- Improved skin texture
- Diminished hyperpigmentation and signs of sun damage
- Refinement in appearance of enlarged pores
- Minimization of acne breakouts and rosacea
- Improvement in fine lines and wrinkles
Unique Benefits of AFA:

The AFA Antioxidant Facial Peels are a safe and effective way to improve common client concerns with aging, sun damage and hyperpigmentation. The peels help exfoliate dead skin cells with less irritation than harsher peels and are specially designed for clients with dry and more sensitive skin.

: Please show up to your appointment with clean skin. Excessive make-up or product may take longer to cleanse and remove, which will cut into your treatment time. Please check that the contraindications do not apply to you. Necklaces and earrings will have to be removed during the treatment.
After the appointment your medical aesthetician will go over specific after-care instructions tailored to you. Immediate observations will include glowing skin & skin that is soft to the touch! It is normal to experience a little bit of redness and feel warm. If you are more sensitive, these sensations can be heightened. These sensations will fade throughout the day and you will be left with amazing results for the weeks to come! Results are also heavily influenced by the skincare products you are using at home and how often you are getting facials done! Keep this in mind when you are trying to correct any skin concern(s). Do not use any harsh actives or exfoliants 7-10 days after your microdermabrasion facial.
