Known as glycolic acid, fruit acid peel is an alpha-hydroxy acid extracted from sugar cane, fruits, and beets. Its mild acid gently exfoliates the skin by dissolving the bonds between the top layer of the skin and cells. It is ideal for tan removal leaving the skin with a healthy glow and minimizing the pore size too.

Summer months see a spike in the waxing business with increasing requests for Brazilian, bikini, chest, and back wax to show off the well-groomed body.

• • Body Sculpting
    A non-invasive body shaping technique, it is based on the traditional idea of meridian energy popular in South East Asia where it is believed that the body has its own electrical current that forms an electromagnetic field and body fat is due to inefficient electrical flow. Thus, the fat can be burnt through low-frequency electrical impulses using electrodes to the acupressure points on the body. It increases the blood flow to that part of the body and firms up the muscles, making the it look taut. This treatment is ideal for reducing fat from the arms, hips, abdomen, and legs. It also reduces stretch marks, making the skin look even-toned.
