Chemical peels are excellent for resurfacing the skin while also increasing the moisture levels.
The Cosmo Peel is a TCA peel and is available in different strengths which will be selected by your practitioner.
These peels loosen thickened surface layers that appear as dry, rough and pigmented skin whilst stimulating the production of collagen in the deeper layers.
As the uppermost layers are sloughed away, a smoother textured and healthier skin with less pigmentation is revealed.
​
The collagen and elastin stimulating affect will gradually help to plump and tighten your skin to improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

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.
