At Fiore Aesthetics, we believe in providing treatments that enhance the skin’s appearance and contribute to its overall health. Though many see skin peels as a category under facials, they’re much more than that. Understanding the nuanced differences between facials & skin peels helps our clients make informed decisions about their skincare.
“Our goal is to offer treatments that cater to every individual’s unique skin needs,” says Flavio Refrigeri, the founder and clinic director of Fiore Aesthetics.” Our goal is to offer treatments that cater to every individual’s unique skin needs,” says Flavio Refrigeri, the founder and clinic director of Fiore Aesthetics.
The Soothing World of Facials
“We all know that facials are a cornerstone of regular skincare maintenance, such as our deep cleanse. Often a multi-step process, a facial at Fiore Aesthetics involves cleansing, exfoliating, and nourishing the skin, promoting a clear, well-hydrated, youthful complexion.”Each facial is an immersive experience. From the soothing steam to the nourishing face masks, every step is designed to rejuvenate the skin,” Flavio explains.”We all know that facials are a cornerstone of regular skincare maintenance such as our deep cleanse.

“Customisation is key in facial treatments.

“Relaxation is another major part of a wonderful facial experience at Fiore Aesthetics.”A facial here isn’t just about skin health; it is also a retreat for mental relaxation, often incorporating massage techniques,” he adds. The frequency of facials varies, but regular sessions are recommended.”For optimal skin health, we usually recommend a facial once a month as part of an ongoing skincare routine,” advises Flavio.”Relaxation is another major part of a wonderful facial experience at Fiore Aesthetics. “A facial here isn’t just about skin health; it’s also a retreat for mental relaxation, often incorporating massage techniques,” he adds.

The Transformative Nature of Skin Peels
“Skin or chemical peels offer a more intensive solution for various skin issues. These treatments involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and peel off, revealing smoother, less wrinkled skin beneath.”Skin peels are about transformation. They address deeper skin concerns, promoting long-term skin health,” Flavio points out.”Skin or chemical peels offer a more intensive solution for various skin issues.

“At Fiore Aesthetics, skin peels are available in various intensities to cater to different skin concerns.” Our light peels are great for a subtle refresh, while medium and deep peels target more significant issues like ageing signs and acne scars,” he says.

“He also cautions that skin peels involve more special considerations:” Unlike facials, chemical peels can require some downtime for recovery, and it is important to protect the skin from the sun post-treatment.”He also cautions that skin peels involve more special considerations, “Unlike facials, chemical peels can require some downtime for recovery, and it’s important to protect the skin from the sun post-treatment.”
What Are the Key Differences Between Facials & Skin Peels?
Understanding the differences between facials and skin peels is vital in choosing the right skincare treatment. At Fiore Aesthetics, we often encounter clients unsure which treatment best suits their needs. Flavio explains that “facials are designed primarily for cleansing, hydration, and overall skin maintenance. They are gentler and incorporate a variety of treatments such as steam, masks, and massages.” Facials work on the skin’s surface, providing nourishment and relaxation, and are suitable for a wide range of skin types and ages.
“On the other hand, skin peels go deeper.”Skin peels are targeted treatments. They use specially formulated chemical solutions to remove dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin, stimulating the regeneration of new, healthier skin underneath,” he says. These treatments are more intensive and focus on correcting specific skin issues like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. Skin peels are categorised by intensity – light, medium, or deep – and each level is suited for different skin concerns and requires different recovery times.”On the other hand, skin peels go deeper. “Skin peels are targeted treatments.

“While facials can be done frequently and are part of a good regular skincare routine, skin peels are more intense and often require a recovery period. It is important to think of these when deciding between the two,” adds Flavio.”While facials can be done frequently and are part of a good regular skincare routine, skin peels are more intense and often require a recovery period.

What Should I Choose: Facial or Skin Peel?
“
Several factors come into play when deciding between a facial and a skin peel. Flavio advises you to” consider your skin type, concerns, and what you hope to achieve. A facial is an excellent choice if your goal is general skin upkeep, relaxation, and hydration. It is a great way to maintain healthy skin, and we can customise it to address any minor skin problems.”Several factors come into play when deciding between a facial and a skin peel.

“However, a skin peel might be the more appropriate choice if you’re dealing with more specific skin issues like deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, pronounced acne scars, or substantial uneven skin tone.”Skin peels work on a deeper level and can significantly improve these conditions. They are particularly effective for those looking for noticeable results in skin texture and tone,” he explains.”However, a skin peel might be the more appropriate choice if you’re dealing with more specific skin issues like deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, pronounced acne scars, or substantial uneven skin tone. “Skin peels work on a deeper level and can significantly improve these conditions.

It is also important to consider the downtime associated with each treatment.”While facials have no downtime, skin peels might take a few days of recovery, depending on the intensity of the peel.”It’s also important to consider the downtime associated with each treatment. “While facials have no downtime, skin peels might take a few days of recovery, depending on the intensity of the peel.”
