What is a PHA Peel? The Gentle Exfoliation Sensitive Skin Has Been Waiting For

If you’ve avoided chemical peels because your skin is easily sensitized, reactive, or prone to redness, we have some game-changing news. At Nurtur Salon + Spa, we’re introducing the secret to a post-facial glow without the post-facial irritation: The PHA Peel.

Meet PHA: The Gentle Giant of Skincare
You’ve likely heard of AHAs (like Glycolic Acid) and BHAs (like Salicylic Acid). PHAs (Polyhydroxy Acids) are the next generation of exfoliants.

The magic lies in their molecular size. PHA molecules are significantly larger than AHAs, meaning they penetrate the skin more slowly and superficially. You get all the resurfacing benefits, smoother texture and clearer pores, without the stinging or purging often associated with deeper peels.

3 Reasons to Love a PHA Peel at Nurtur

Hydration Hero: Unlike other acids that can be drying, PHAs are humectants. They actually attract moisture to your skin while they exfoliate, leaving you dewy, not flaky.

Anti-Aging Antioxidants: PHAs help fight oxidative stress, making them a powerhouse for smoothing fine lines and evening out skin tone.

Zero Downtime: Because it’s so gentle, you can walk out of our Columbus or Upper Arlington locations and head straight to dinner with a radiant, glass skin finish.

The Nurtur Professional Touch
While you can find PHA in over-the-counter bottles, a professional Aveda PHA Treatment at Nurtur Salon + Spa combines high-potency plant technology with our signature holistic touch. We customize every facial to your skin’s unique barrier, ensuring you leave feeling refreshed and resilient.

Don’t let sensitivity stand between you and your best skin. Experience the exfoliation that feels like a spa day, not a treatment.

Book your Gentle PHA Facial at Nurtur Salon + Spa and discover the glow you've been missing.
