Environ TCA Cool Peels
Environ TCA Cool Peels in Orpington
Environ’s new TCA Cool Peel Technology is a gentle, intelligent skin peel for ageing, blemish-prone and sensitive skin. At All About You in Orpington, near Bromley and Sevenoaks, every Cool Peel is tailored to your skin after a consultation with your Environ-trained therapist.
What is a TCA Cool Peel?
Cool Peels use a low-strength trichloroacetic acid (TCA) in a cream or gel rather than a liquid. Because the cream releases slowly and is visible on the skin, your therapist can apply it exactly where it is needed and build it up gently in layers, so the treatment is controlled and comfortable. Rather than destroying skin cells like traditional peels, Cool Peels work with your skin, encouraging it to renew itself and produce new collagen and elastin for smoother, clearer, brighter-looking skin.
