A skin peel offers numerous benefits for the skin, making it a popular choice for those looking to improve their complexion.

Skin Rejuvenation

One of the main benefits of skin peels is skin rejuvenation. By removing dead skin cells and stimulating collagen production, skin peels can help improve the overall appearance of the skin. This can include reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture and tone, and reducing the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

Treatment of Skin Conditions

Skin peels can also be used to treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, and melasma. By exfoliating the skin and increasing cell turnover, skin peels can help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and improve the appearance of these conditions.

Improved Absorption of Skincare Products

Exfoliating the skin with a skin peel can also improve the absorption of skincare products. By removing the top layer of dead skin cells, skincare products can penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective. This can be especially beneficial for anti-aging products, as they can reach deeper layers of the skin where they can stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.

A skin peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. This process helps to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. Chemical peels can also help to improve skin texture and promote a brighter, more youthful complexion.

Consultation

A full consultation precedes your treatment. We will review your medical history and discuss what you would like to improve about your skin. At your initial consultation, we’ll be able to fully assess your skin health and identify the key areas that can be improved through a tailored treatment approach with a combination of therapies (where appropriate) based on your presenting concerns.

The Procedure

The skin peel procedure is relatively quick and painless. First, the skin is cleansed and prepped for the peel. Then, the chemical solution is applied to the skin and left on for a specific amount of time, depending on the type of peel and the desired results. After the peel is removed, a soothing mask or moisturiser is applied to the skin to help with any potential redness or irritation along with sun protection to prevent against damage during the healing process.

Aftercare

After a skin peel, it is essential to follow proper aftercare to ensure the best results. This includes avoiding direct sunlight, wearing sunscreen, and using gentle skincare products. It is also recommended to avoid exfoliating or using harsh chemicals on the skin for at least a week after the peel.

How it works

Chemical Skin Peels FAQs

What is a Skin Peel?

A skin peel, also known as a chemical peel, is a cosmetic treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove the outermost layer. This process stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that gives skin its elasticity and youthful appearance. As we age, our skin’s collagen production decreases, leading to dull and sagging skin. A skin peel helps to reverse this process and reveal fresh, new skin.

What are the benefits for Skin Peel?

A skin peel offers numerous benefits for the skin, making it a popular choice for those looking to improve their complexion. Some of the key benefits include:

• Improved skin texture and tone
• Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduction of acne and acne scars
• Brighter and more radiant skin
• Improved skin elasticity
• Reduction of hyperpigmentation and sun damage

Who is a good candidate for a skin peel?

Any skin type is suitable for a skin peel, and we can tailor the peel to the precise needs of your skin type as well as your goals. Factors like ageing and free radical damage can be difficult to curb with your at-home skincare routine. A skin peel can optimise the products you use at home, revitalising your skin to another level of luminosity, vitality, and natural-looking beauty.

How Do Skin Peels Work?

Exfoliation

The main purpose of a skin peel is to exfoliate the skin. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. As we age, our skin’s natural exfoliation process slows down, resulting in a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface. This can lead to a dull, uneven complexion and can also clog pores, causing acne and other skin issues.

Skin peels use chemical solutions, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to be easily removed. This reveals fresh, new skin cells underneath, resulting in a smoother, brighter complexion.

Stimulation of Collagen Production

Collagen is a protein that gives our skin its structure and elasticity. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of aging. Skin peels can help stimulate collagen production by causing controlled damage to the skin. This damage triggers the body’s natural healing process, which includes producing more collagen to repair the skin.

Increased Cell Turnover

Another benefit of skin peels is that they can increase the rate of cell turnover. Cell turnover is the process of old skin cells being replaced by new ones. As we age, this process slows down, resulting in a buildup of dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. By increasing cell turnover, skin peels can help reveal fresher, healthier skin cells and improve the overall appearance of the skin.

Are Skin Peels Safe?

When performed by a trained professional, skin peels are generally safe. However, as with any cosmetic treatment, there are some risks involved. These can include redness, irritation, and in rare cases, scarring. It’s important to consult with a dermatologist or licensed aesthetician before undergoing a skin peel to determine if it’s the right treatment for you.

How Often Should You Get a Skin Peel?

The frequency of skin peels depends on the type of peel and your skin’s individual needs. Superficial peels can be done every 2-3 weeks, while medium and deep peels may only be done once or twice a year. It’s important to follow the recommendations of your skincare professional and to give your skin time to heal between treatments.
