General information about the procedure
How does peeling work?
Peeling cleanses the scalp from impurities, removes dead cells and excess sebum, activates blood circulation, which helps strengthen hair and improve its growth. After mechanical peeling, blood flow in the scalp increases by 35-40%, which improves the nutrition of hair follicles.
Enzyme cleansing involves the use of enzymes to break down protein bonds between cells. The technique is suitable for sensitive skin, as it acts gently and minimizes the risk of irritation.
Peeling not only cleanses the skin, but also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Regular professional cleansing increases hair density by 15-20% within 3-6 months.
