About the Treatment
What Is the Zena Algae Peel?
The Zena Algae Peel, also known as the Zena Marine Algae Bio Peel, is a natural, acid-free facial treatment made from marine algae and freshwater sponges. It gently resurfaces the skin using bioactive ingredients, offering a holistic alternative to traditional chemical peels.
Microscopic siliceous needles from algae and sponges are massaged into the skin to create microchannels in the upper epidermis. This triggers accelerated cell turnover, collagen production and increased circulation, while the skin detoxifies, pores unclog and dead skin lightly peels away over a few days.
Many clients feel instantly cleansed and notice a radiant glow within days.
