Chemical Peels

The skin on your face is constantly being renewed – the fresh, vital skin underneath replacing the dull damaged skin on the surface.

A skin peel hastens this process, creating an even, controlled shedding of several layers of damaged cells, to reveal a new layer with a more even colour and smoother texture.

From Nature’s Base

Our skin peels use a naturally-based chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers of skin.

If you have facial blemishes, pigmentation, fine lines or age spots, a skin peel can reveal the beauty beneath. A skin peel, as part of a comprehensive programme of skin care can dramatically reduce imperfections and signs of age.

A chemical peel can be used on the whole face, or selected areas if you have specific concerns. And our treatments handle your skin with care. There is no downtime or burning, and you can expect to immediately return to your normal daily activities.

To Suit All Skin Types

There are many types of chemical peels available that use different agents.

Lighter peels, using AHAs are usually done as a series of several peels and the initial effect is like very faint sunburn.

Deeper peels are usually a one-off and may cause crusting and a more intense sunburned look requiring up to a week off work. These peels are usually performed in a day surgery centre under light sedation.

Contact our trained staff who will recommend a programme of skin care products and chemical peels to meet your needs.

The Programme

Before you begin a chemical peel programme it’s important to prepare your skin, to ensure you gain maximum benefit.

You will undertake a 4 to 6 week skin preparation regimen using a therapeutically designed cream containing Retin A, hydroquinone, steroid and a fat soluble Vitamin C.

Once your skin is ready you will have three individualised peel treatments, ideally administered at three-week intervals. You will then be given a tailored skin care maintenance programme.
