Peels Brightening

Peels are treatments that use acids to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing fresh, radiant skin underneath. Peels can address a variety of skin concerns, such as acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture.

  • Depending on the strength of the peel, it can also help to stimulate collagen production, making your skin look firmer and more youthful.

    Seeking to brighten your complexion, banish discoloration, and bid farewell to acne facial scars? Our personalized custom peels are designed to rejuvenate your skin and restore your confidence.

    We offer a complimentary, in-depth consultation for every client before each treatment.

What our clients are saying and SHOWING

  • Before and after comparison of skin improvement, showing reduction in acne and clearer complexion on a woman's face.

    I had a fantastic experience at Kiwi Spa with their acne facial. I came in with bad acne and breakouts, but Katie worked her magic. I received deep extractions, diamond tip microdermabrasion, and a peel, and my results were impressive. I highly recommend Katie and Kiwi Spa in Pacific Beach! Literally Best Facial Spa in San Diego.

  • Before and after facial treatment showcasing improved skin texture and reduced wrinkles on an older person.

    I have always been skeptical about spa treatments, but after visiting Kiwi Spa, my mindset completely shifted. Their location in Pacific Beach is excellent, with a wonderful interior and friendly staff. After the anti-aging facial with microdermabrasion and Jet Peel Infusion, I can feel my skin my more clear, toned, with beautiful healthy glow.

  • Before and after comparison of a woman's face showing skin improvement, reduced blemishes, and smoother complexion.

    ADORABLE, INNOVATIVE, RELAXING, PAMPERING, CREATIVE!!!!! When I first walked in the spa was striking. It was absolutely adorable, decorated in a bright kiwi and floral decor. This place offered more than just a facial, they offered an entire experience. I will definitely be returning!

  • Before and after comparison of a woman's face showing changes in skin tone and texture.

    I haven't had a facial in years, but I'm so glad I chose Kiwi Spa for their anti-aging facial and nano-channeling. The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, and the products smell refreshingly wonderful. They use only all natural vegan ingredients and medical grade of molecule. I left feeling rejuvenated and re-emerggized. I definitely learned something new and embarked on a next level skincare journey. I will definitely be back!

  • Side-by-side comparison of a woman's face showing skin improvement, with redness and blemishes on the left and clearer skin on the right.

    I am extremely impressed with the results I achieved after 2 holistic facial treatments at Kiwi Spa. My skin was congested due to using products with synthetic preservatives and lacking active ingredients. I tryed a Jessner's peel, and the difference was already significant after the first treatment. I was recommended a couple of products for home use. My esthetician Karyna also recommended to do one more treatment with TCA Peel.
