Key Features & Benefits of Chemical Skin Peels
Discover how chemical peels can revitalise your skin from within!
Enhanced Skin Texture
Chemical peels effectively remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, revealing a smoother and more refined skin texture.
Improved Skin Tone & Brightness
Chemical peels can even out skin tone, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and enhance overall brightness by targeting the causes of pigmentation and sun damage.
Minimise Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Chemical peels stimulate collagen production, which can help plump up the skin, soften fine lines, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Reduced Acne & Breakouts
Peels can unclog pores, regulate oil production, and address mild to moderate acne, leading to clearer and healthier skin.
Customisable
Chemical peels come in various strengths and formulations, allowing for personalised treatment plans tailored to individual skin concerns and needs.
Chemical Peel: Step-by-Step Guide
Curious about what happens during a chemical peel? Let us guide you through the typical steps involved in peel treatments.
Cleanse & Prep
We thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove any makeup, oil, or dirt. We may apply a pre-peel solution to optimise the peel's penetration.
Apply Peel Solution
We carefully apply the selected peel solution to your skin using a brush, cotton ball, or gauze.
Monitor & Neutralise (if applicable)
We closely observe your skin's reaction to the peel and time the application accordingly. For some peels, we may apply a neutralising solution to stop the peel's action.
Cool & Soothe
We apply cool compresses or a fan to soothe any tingling or burning sensations you may experience.
Post-Peel Care
We provide detailed post-peel care instructions to ensure proper healing and maximize results.
