Rejuvenating or mild exfoliating treatments are procedures designed to improve the appearance of the skin by removing the top layer of dead skin cells. This can reveal a brighter, smoother, and more even-toned complexion. Common techniques include microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and various scrubs.
- Chemical peels: Solutions applied to the skin to cause controlled peeling, removing damaged cells and promoting renewal.
- Microdermabrasion: A minimally abrasive treatment that uses crystals or diamond tips to remove dead skin cells.
- Facials: Often include cleansing, exfoliation, masks, and moisturization to improve skin texture and tone.
