A chemical peel is a treatment that is used to improve the appearance of your skin by exfoliating dead skin cells and stimulating collagen production. As the name suggests, the surface layer of your skin will peel away to reveal fresher, younger skin tissue underneath. This skin treatment will not only provide a rejuvenation, but can also remove skin blemishes and reduce common skin complaints.
During the procedure a peel solution will be painted onto your skin. The solution will be tailored to you, as different depths of exfoliation can be stimulated. Age spots, wrinkles and fine lines can be greatly reduced through this procedure. Following a chemical peel, your skin should appear younger and revitalised.
Lose your frustration with your problem skin by having a chemical peel:
- Rejuvenating effects
- Improved skin texture
- Acne scar reduction
- Reduces sun damage
- Appear revitalised and refreshed
Although peel solutions will vary according to individual customers, generally you’ll choose from a superficial, medium or deep peel. It’s the strength of the solution that will determine the depth of the skin layer penetrated.
The gentlest peel solutions tend to contain glycolic acid. These will provide a light surface exfoliation to refresh and revitalise your skin. Deeper skin peels might contain mandelic or salicylic acid. When you visit our practitioner for your consultation, you will be advised on the most suitable type of chemical peel for your individual skin.
