The peel is applied on the skin left on for 6-8 hours after which the skin starts to exfoliate and helps form fresh new skin from within. Even though only the superficial layers of the skin peels, the peel actually helps to regenerate cells from the deeper layer and also helps to form collagen. 

The end results is a fresh, firm and rejuvenated skin with even skin tone, minimal open pores and fines lines.

5. Trying Mesotherapy Mesotherapy is a treatment that involves infusion of a cocktail of vitamin C, amino acid antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, collagen using multiple techniques such as micro injections or micro needling or infusion devices.
