Enzyme Peel vs. Chemical Peel

Enzyme peels and chemical peels both exfoliate, but they work differently and they're not interchangeable. Enzymes stay at the surface and are ideal for sensitized or barrier-compromised skin. Chemical peels go deeper and can trigger real dermal remodeling. At Nylo Room in South Surrey, the right peel depends entirely on what your skin can handle and what you're trying to correct.

Microchanneling vs. Microneedling

Microneedling and microchanneling share the same core idea: controlled microtrauma that triggers collagen production. The difference is in how they get there. Procell Microchanneling uses a stamping motion for more precise channel placement, and infuses growth factor serums directly into the skin during treatment while the channels are open. At Nylo Room in South Surrey, which one is right depends entirely on your skin and your goal.
