Inside Anti-Aging: Benefits of AHA Peels
Over the last 20 years, both men and women have had more leisure time to spend outdoors than in previous generations. Hours spent on outside recreation in both summer and winter have taken their toll on people’s skin.
As we age, the accumulated effects of sun exposure, pollutants, acne, and scarring can damage our skin and cause us to look older than we are. Past treatment options were expensive and required significant time for recuperation. But those days are over!
Continuum Studio now offers a SkinCeuticals-based corrective skin care treatment, also called an AHA or chemical peel. This type of peel can restore a more youthful appearance to wrinkled, unevenly pigmented, sun-damaged, or blotchy skin.
You may also be a candidate for a peel if you have acne, acne scars, or blackheads, or dry and dehydrated skin. Light peels are one of the best anti-aging treatments for skin of color, as it is least likely to cause discoloration, a risk with stronger formulations.

During the treatment, our skin care professionals use SkinCeuticals products high in alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA). These acids lift dead cells off the surface of your skin, allowing a smoother, more evenly pigmented and glowing layer of skin to appear. The peel promotes cell growth and collagen synthesis, and it increases moisture levels in the skin – producing a softer, clearer appearance, even for sensitized or problematic skin.
SkinCeuticals designed this safe and effective treatment to gradually improve the appearance and texture of your skin – without the irritation or disruption to lifestyle that can occur with stronger or more invasive treatments.
With a series of up to six treatments, you can greatly reduce superficial lines and uneven pigmentation, while your skin will look and feel softer, smoother, and more radiant. With each treatment, you should see incremental gains in the overall appearance of the skin. Acne scars and enlarged pores may become less noticeable, and acne breakouts may be reduced.
