How do Chemical Peels work?
Chemical peels are a transformative procedure designed to remove damaged outer layers of the skin, revealing a revitalized and more youthful complexion underneath.
The selection of acids for the peel depends on the desired depth and specific skin concerns. Our range includes glycolic acid, known for its exfoliating properties, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for deeper peeling effects, salicylic acid for addressing acne-related issues, mandelic acid for its gentler exfoliation, and lactic acid for a hydrating and brightening effect.
These acid-based formulations work synergistically to enhance skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and address various skin imperfections. The tailored approach ensures optimal results, providing you with a refreshed and radiant skin appearance.
How is the treatment administered?
After a thorough consultation, assessment, and diagnosis, a customized peel will be recommended based on your unique skin type and concerns. The skin is meticulously cleansed and prepared before the selected peel is applied. The peeling agent is left on the skin for a duration of 5-15 minutes, depending on the specific type of peel being used, and is then gently washed off. To nurture and safeguard your skin, moisturization follows, and a broad-spectrum SPF is applied for comprehensive protection.
Side effects
Post-peel, it’s common to notice some redness, and within 3-7 days following the treatment, the dead skin naturally begins to peel away. Certain peels fall under the category of ‘no downtime,’ unveiling brighter skin without any visible peeling at all.
