MicroPeel
A MicroPeel is a light, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines mechanical exfoliation, often with chemical exfoliation and/or cryotherapy, to improve skin texture, clarity, and radiance. It’s frequently performed as part of a medical facial in dermatology or aesthetic clinics.
