A chemical peel is used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin by removing its damaged outer layers and stimulating the regenerative process leaving the skin looking younger and smoother. It can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, superficial blemishes, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, dehydration, and large pores. The treatment can be customised to target specific skin issues, giving you more radiant, soft and luminous skin.
A chemical peel is a medical aesthetic procedure which involves the application of a specially formulated blend of acids to the skin. This causes a controlled injury to the skin promoting accelerated growth and collagen production. There are several types of chemical peel that are effective at three basic depths – superficial, medium and deep. The best effects of chemical peels are achieved when a course of treatments is taken.
Depending on the type of peel used there may be some visible effects such as redness or visible peeling. The duration of the visible effects varies according to the type of peel used. A superficial peel normally has virtually no side effects (possibly mild pinkness) and no “downtime”, whereas a deep peel can produce visible peeling for up to 15 days or more. Everyone reacts differently to chemical peel treatment and results will vary from individual to individual.
Please note that the outcome for this treatment is not guaranteed. The outcome may vary between patients, and you may require more than a single treatment to achieve your desired outcome.
