PRODIGY PEEL
What is a Prodigy Peel?
The iSClinical Prodigy Peel is self-neutralising superficial chemical peel designed to target acne, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone and texture. Best recommended in courses, this. treatment works to remove excess dead skin cells, reducing further risk of breakouts. The treatment consists of a prep solution, up to 3 layers of the P2 peel (depending on sensitivity levels) and then finished with a booster, again dependant on the clients sensitivity levels, all of these steps are applied using a gauze to maximise results.
How does it work?
The system combines resorcinol, lactic acid, salicylic acid, and citric acid to target multiple skin concerns ranging from ageing, acne, and hyperpigmentation. These ingredients are coupled with a powerful"booster", featuring an advanced form of salicylic acid, providing enhanced benefits when compared to other superficial chemical peels.
