By applying a carefully selected chemical solution to the skin, the treatment helps remove dull or congested surface layers while supporting gradual cell renewal. The treatment works to: • Support gentle exfoliation for smoother skin • Improve overall tone and clarity • Reduce the appearance of congestion and surface irregularities • Promote a brighter, more refreshed complexion All new treatments at Olive Skin Aesthetics require an initial consultation to discuss suitability and treatment plans.
