Chemical Skin Peel

As we age, fine lines and wrinkles can develop due to repetitive movement in the muscles under the surface of the skin and a weakening of collagen and elastin. Most commonly, Anti-Wrinkle injections alleviates fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead area and around the eyes.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel works by exfoliating the upper layers of dead skin. The peel is liquid when it is applied, and most clients feel only a mild, tingly sensation as it goes to work. Any tingling settles quickly.

What Happens in the Treatment?

Every peel starts with a detailed consultation, where we assess your skin and talk through your concerns before choosing the right peel for you. Your skin needs preparing first, usually for two to four weeks depending on your Fitzpatrick skin type, so it is ready to take the peel and give the best possible results. We always begin with a lower strength peel suited to your skin condition and skin type, then build from there over your course of treatments.

How many treatments will I need?

That depends on your skin concern and how deeply it sits. As a general guide, we recommend four to six sessions spaced around two weeks apart.

Essential Aftercare

Looking after your skin in the days after a peel is what protects your results.
Keep your skin well hydrated.
Resist the urge to pick or pull at any flaking.
Wear a high factor sunscreen every day, since freshly resurfaced skin is more sensitive to the sun.
Avoid saunas, hot workouts and strong active ingredients such as retinol for a few days.
Your therapist will give you a personal aftercare plan at your appointment, tailored to the peel you have had.
