“AFA” is Amino acid Filaggrin based Antioxidants. Filaggrin is a protein in your skin. It is a natural moisturizer, containing amino acids capable of increasing the water-holding capacity of the skin. AFA peeling utilizes these valuable amino acids to promote healthier and brighter skin. AFA’s can benefit all skin types and are an ideal peel option for people with sensitive skin as well as those who suffer from rosacea, as there is little to no “down time” with AFA peeling. Other benefits include greater moisture retention, anti-aging benefits, reduction of hyper-pigmentation, deep exfoliation and less irritation than other chemical peels.
