A chemical skin peel helps loosen and remove the surface layer of dead skin cells and promote deeper skin firming effects. This again helps the skin appear smoother, healthier, plumper and tighter. Skin peels are ideal fro treating fine lines, dull skin tone, enlarged pores and hyper pigmentation including age spots.
They also smooth rough, dry and sun damaged skin, giving it a brighter appearance and fresher texture.
We offer a variety of advanced chemical peels that work to prevent and correct skin problems. We use Skinceuticals, Agera, Epionce, Dermaceutic. There are 3 types:
They exfoliate the skin, decongest pores and help control the amount of sebum.
They are suitable for oily, acneic, and ethnic skin types.
AHAs (glycolic or lactic Acids). They help reduce the appearance of fine lines and soften wrinkles, and are ideal to treat dry, photo damaged and ageing skin.
They are either light, medium or deep peels which remove the upper damaged layers of the skin and so helps lines, pigmentation and acne.
The peel treatment is performed by a qualified therapist. We usually recommend a course of six peels (except for TCAs), carried out on a weekly or fortnightly basis. The practitioner will discuss with you, usually after a complete skin analysis, which type of peel will suit your skin. A monthly maintenance peel is recommended and regular homecare routine is also essential.
A peel feels like a lot of little ants running over your face – like a tingling or burning sensation. The skin will usually appear somewhat red and glowing.
