What is an AFA Antioxidant Chemical Peel?
The AFA Antioxidant Peel is a non-acidic, medical-grade peel designed to resurface and brighten the skin with minimal irritation or downtime. Rich in powerful amino-based antioxidants, this peel helps improve texture, hydrate dry or sun-damaged skin, and reduce the appearance of pigmentation and fine lines—all without the typical peeling or stinging of stronger peels.
​
This is an ideal option for first-time peel clients, sensitive skin types, or anyone looking for a gentle, progressive approach to skin renewal.

How do AFA chemical peels work?
-
AFA (Amino Acid Filaggrin-based Antioxidants) gently exfoliate the skin and attract moisture, improving hydration and texture.
-
The treatment removes buildup from the surface layer, encouraging cell turnover and collagen production.
-
Unlike traditional acid peels, AFA peels use amino acid technology to resurface without inflammation, making it a safe choice for rosacea-prone or sensitive skin.

Shelby customizes your treatment based on skin needs, often layering it into a personalized facial protocol.

Frequently asked questions about AFA chemical peels
Will I visibly peel after an AFA peel?
Not typically! AFA peels are known for delivering results without the flaking, redness, or downtime of stronger chemical peels.
How often should I get AFA chemical peels?
For best results, we recommend a series of 4–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Many clients maintain with monthly sessions.
Is it safe for rosacea or eczema-prone skin?
Yes, the AFA peel was designed with sensitive and inflamed skin types in mind. It’s a great option for clients who can't tolerate more aggressive resurfacing.
Can I wear makeup after an AFA chemical peel?
​Yes, but it’s best to wait about 12–24 hours to allow your skin to fully benefit from the treatment. Always apply SPF.
How soon will I see results?
Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin right away, with improvements continuing as treatments build on each other.
