BABOR AHA Peel

What is BABOR AHA Peel?

The BABOR AHA Peel uses a carefully calibrated blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (including glycolic and lactic acid) to perform a deep, controlled chemical exfoliation of the skin. AHAs work by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, accelerating their removal and stimulating the regeneration of fresh, healthy cells beneath. Glycolic acid, derived from sugar cane, is one of the smallest AHA molecules and is highly effective at penetrating the skin to stimulate cell turnover and target pigmentation. Lactic acid, derived from milk, offers additional moisturising benefits alongside its exfoliating action, helping to improve skin hydration and texture simultaneously. Together, these acids deliver a thorough resurfacing result that improves multiple aspects of skin health in a single treatment.

Advanced resurfacing. Targeted skin correction.

At OC Skin, we are committed to delivering high performance treatments that create genuine, lasting transformation. The BABOR AHA Peel is a professional grade chemical exfoliation treatment that harnesses the potent power of Alpha Hydroxy Acids to resurface the skin, target specific concerns, and reveal a noticeably clearer, brighter, and more refined complexion. For clients who are ready to take their skin results to the next level, this is an exceptionally effective treatment.

Who is it for?

The BABOR AHA Peel is ideally suited to clients who are seeking advanced, results driven resurfacing and are ready for a more intensive approach to skin correction. It is particularly beneficial for those dealing with pigmentation or sun damage, acne prone or congested skin, visible fine lines and early wrinkles, and an overall lack of skin clarity or luminosity. Clients who have already completed a course of gentler introductory peels and are looking to progress their treatment journey will find the AHA Peel to be a powerful next step. A thorough consultation with your OC Skin therapist will ensure this treatment is appropriate for your skin and goals before proceeding.

What skin conditions does it target?

This treatment is specifically formulated to address a broad range of skin concerns at a deeper level than enzyme or mild chemical peels. It is highly effective in targeting uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation, active acne and post-acne congestion, fine lines and early wrinkles, sun damage and UV-related skin changes, rough or uneven texture, and a dull or lackluster complexion. By accelerating cellular turnover and stimulating the skin’s natural renewal processes, the AHA Peel creates a cascading improvement in overall skin health that continues to develop in the days and weeks following treatment.

Benefits of BABOR AHA Peel

What to expect

Your treatment begins with a thorough cleanse to prepare the skin and ensure optimal contact between the peel solution and the skin surface. The BABOR AHA Peel is then carefully applied by your therapist, and as the acids begin to activate, you may notice a mild tingling or gentle warming sensation, this is entirely normal and indicates that the treatment is working effectively. The sensation typically subsides within the first few minutes of application, and your therapist will monitor your skin throughout the process to ensure your comfort and safety.

Following the removal of the peel solution, your skin will be treated with calming, reparative serums and a nourishing moisturiser to support the skin’s barrier and encourage the healing process. You may experience some mild redness immediately after treatment, which generally resolves within a few hours. Over the following two to four days, you may notice some light peeling or flaking as the exfoliated skin sheds and fresh, renewed skin emerges beneath. This is a completely normal and expected part of the process. The results: brighter, smoother, and more refined skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there downtime?

There is minimal downtime with the BABOR AHA Peel. Some redness and light peeling can occur in the days following treatment, and we recommend keeping the skin protected, moisturised, and away from direct sun exposure during this period. Your therapist will provide you with comprehensive aftercare guidance.

How often can I have this treatment?

We recommend the BABOR AHA Peel every three to four weeks to allow the skin adequate time to complete its renewal cycle between sessions. Your therapist will advise on the optimal treatment frequency based on your skin goals and current skin condition.

Can it be combined with other treatments?

Yes, the BABOR AHA Peel integrates well into a broader corrective skin treatment plan. Your OC Skin therapist will tailor a comprehensive program that combines this treatment with complementary therapies to maximise your results.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

As this is a stronger treatment, a thorough consultation is strongly recommended prior to proceeding. Your therapist will assess your skin’s tolerance and sensitivity to determine whether the AHA Peel is appropriate, and if so, which strength is most suitable for you.
