What Is Silk Touch Rx Skin Lightening Peel?
The Silk Touch Rx Skin Lightening Peel is a superficial peel designed to improve the texture and appearance of hyper-pigmented skin, uneven skin tone, or melasma. This treatment which also involves an at-home regimen.
- The first Hydroquinone+Retinoid masque for the in-office treatment of hyperpigmentation & melasma

How Does It Work?
Silk Touch Rx Masque is compounded freshly, in-house, to ensure its potency and reliability. The masque is placed on during your visit, and removed by the patient at-home after a required length of time decided by your evaluation with your aesthetician. You are responsible for adhering to a simple, at-home regimen involving the application of several Silk Touch Rx products following masque removal.
What Results Can I Expect?
Results will vary, but generally, patients will see a significant improvement in the appearance of pigmented areas. Dark spots will lighten, and skin texture and tone will improve.
