Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are fast becoming the number one clinical skin treatment worldwide. At a fraction of the price of laser, they can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation and blemishes with less discomfort and downtime.
Book NowWhy Chemical Peels
Chemical Peel is effective for:
Chemical peels are an excellent treatment choice for a wide range of skin concerns, from acne and hyperpigmentation to advanced signs of ageing. Despite their varying uses, most peels work the same way. they remove the skin's outermost layers to stimulate cell renewal and cell turnover, improving skin's texture and appearance.
Cell turnover slows dramatically as we age, from approximately 20 days in younger and middle-aged adults up to over 30 days in older adults. As this happens, it affects the skin's appearance and texture in a variety of ways. From fine lines and wrinkles to acne and hyperpigmentation, chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to address these changes.
But they're not a one-size-fits-all treatment: for optimal results, a peel should be strong enough to accelerate cell turnover but not so powerful as to induce severe skin inflammation.
Chemical Peel Aftercare
Please follow the aftercare advice for chemical peels.
The treated area of skin may feel slightly tender and appear red and swollen afterwards. You may occasionally experience skin peeling and appearances may be similar to mild sunburn. These effects will resolve naturally and should be much improved after 48 hours but may take longer to settle. You may experience some minor bruising which may take 1-2 weeks to resolve in some cases.
Avoid any perfumes, fake tan, skin exfoliation or other harsh chemicals for 72 hours after treatment.
Avoid any makeup for 24 hours after treatment as this can increase the risk of infection.
Avoid rubbing or picking the treated area.
It is important to use a regular moisturising cream around two to three times a day on the treated area. Use more regularly if you feel the skin dry or peeling.
Avoid any products that contain alpha hydroxy acids, retinol, and glycolic acid for at least 7 days after treatment.
