FILLMED Skin Peel
Your Treatment
You have been treated with a FILLMED skin peel, a superficial chemical peel, which targets uneven skin tone, pigmentation disorders, active acne, acne scarring and signs of photoageing. Your treatment also included application of a soothing B3-Recovery cream with a lymphatic drainage massage and Hyaluronic acid facial recover mask to help skin healing and a LED treatment. All of which, promotes the production of collagen, addresses fine lines and wrinkles, hydrates the skin and restores radiance.
