Chemical peels are excellent for resurfacing the skin while also increasing the moisture levels. Depending on your skin concerns different peel formulations are selected and applied to the skin to reach the desired result and skin response.
These peels loosen thickened surface layers that appear as dry, rough and scaly skin whilst stimulating the production of collagen in the deeper layers. As the uppermost layers are sloughed away, a smoother textured and healthier skin is revealed.
​
They may also visually retexture thickened or oily skin, improve the appearance of enlarged pores and allow for improved absorption of active skin products.
​
Chemical peels can treat a number of common skin concerns as well as maintain the health and balance of the skin on a regular treatment protocol.

SKIN PREPARATION
We recommend beginning skin preparation prior to undergoing a course of chemical peels.
​
Skin preparation can be prescribed to you from our cosmeceutical skin care range from our cosmetic nurse and doctor at the time of consultation.
​
Well prepared skin increased the speed of skin healing, encourages uniform and even penetration of the peel and decreases the risk of unwanted side effects.
