Clinical Peels
Have you ever caught a glimpse of yourself and felt unsettled by what's reflecting back at you? The tone and texture of your skin may look dull and lifeless, or patches of pigment dominate your complexion. There's no need to despair—we have the perfect solution. It might be time to invest in the powers of clinical peels to rejuvenate and revitalise your skin.
If you're new to clinical peels and want to know if they're right for you, you've come to the right place!
Our goal is to help you achieve that glowing, youthful complexion you've always wanted.
What are chemical/clinical peels?
Clinical peels are special solutions in varying concentrations that gently exfoliate the outermost layers, removing dead skin cells and promoting new, healthy skin to come to the surface.
It's like hitting the reset button for your skin, addressing everything from rough texture to uneven tone and stubborn patches of pigment. And don't worry; our peels are tailored to target your specific concerns, ensuring the best results for your skin type.
What type of clinical peels do we use?
We understand that everyone's skin is different, so we offer various clinical peels to meet your needs.
We start with gentle, low-concentration peels and gradually work up to stronger formulations, ensuring your skin gets exactly what it needs.
Here are the peels we offer:
Lactic Acid Peels: These are perfect for beginners or those with sensitive skin. Infused with botanicals, they gently exfoliate while soothing and protecting your skin.
Salicylic Acid Peels: Ideal for those struggling with acne, these peels help clear clogged pores and reduce breakouts, leaving your skin clearer and smoother.
Phyto Retinoid Peels: An excellent alternative for those sensitive to traditional retinoids, these plant-based peels promote cellular turnover and reduce signs of ageing and pigmentation.
PowerPeel: Our most intensive option, combining multiple active ingredients to deliver dramatic results for more resilient skin.
How do they work?
Clinical peels involve applying carefully chosen acids and other active ingredients to the skin. These solutions penetrate the skin's surface, dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells and promoting skin renewal. We'll adjust the depth and intensity based on your skin type and goals, ensuring the safest and best possible outcome.
What are the benefits and results you can expect?
Clinical peels offer many benefits, and we're excited for you to experience them. Here's what you can look forward to:
Smoother skin: By exfoliating the outer layers, peels help to smooth rough patches and refine your skin's texture.
Youthful appearance: Minimise the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots for a more youthful-looking complexion.
Radiant glow: Say goodbye to dull skin! Peels eliminate dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, more radiant you.
Clearer skin: Peels help clear clogged pores, reduce breakouts, and diminish acne scars, leaving your skin clearer and healthier.
Even tone: Target hyperpigmentation and sun damage to create a more uniform and balanced skin tone.
We know trying something new can be a bit daunting, but rest assured, our experienced aesthetic team will guide you every step of the way.
Your comfort and safety are our top priorities, and we're committed to helping you achieve the beautiful skin you deserve.
FAQs
What can I expect during the treatment?
We'll start by preparing the skin with a deep cleanse, followed by an application of the peel solution, which may cause a slight tingling or warm sensation.
Depending on the type of peel, we may apply several layers. The peel then works its magic by exfoliating dead skin cells and promoting new skin growth.
After the peel has been thoroughly removed or deactivated, we'll apply a soothing serum or mask to calm your skin and enhance the results.
What are the side effects?
While clinical peels are generally safe, some side effects can occur, depending on your skin type and the peel's intensity. Common side effects include redness, mild swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn.
You might also experience some peeling or flaking of the skin as it heals and regenerates. These side effects are typically temporary and subside within a few days to a week.
Our dermal therapist will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to minimise any discomfort and support your skin's recovery.
What results can you expect?
You can expect to see improvements in your skin's texture, tone, and overall radiance. After just one treatment, many clients notice a more even complexion, reduced fine lines, and a brighter glow.
For optimal results, a series of peels, typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart, may be recommended.
The number of sessions will depend on your specific skin concerns and goals, which we'll discuss during your initial consultation.
How do I prepare for my treatment?
To prepare for your clinical peel, avoid using any exfoliating products or treatments at least one week prior. Daily protection from sun exposure by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential to protect the skin.
If you're using any prescription skincare products, please inform your dermal therapist so we can provide specific guidance.
Post-care, follow up and next steps.
Post-care: After your clinical peel, proper post-care is essential for optimal results and recovery.
Avoid direct sun exposure and wear a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin.
Keep your skin moisturised with gentle, hydrating products recommended by our team.
Avoid using any harsh or exfoliating products for at least one-week post-treatment.
Follow-up and next steps: We'll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and discuss any additional treatments that may benefit your skin.
Our goal is to support you every step of the way on your journey to healthier, more radiant skin.
Is this treatment suitable for me?
Clinical peels suit all skin types and treat a variety of concerns. However, a skin consultation is essential to determine if it's the best treatment for you.
Clinical peels might not be recommended if you have specific skin conditions like active infections or severe rosacea or are pregnant.
During your skin consultation, we'll assess your skin and discuss your goals to ensure you receive the most effective and safe treatment tailored to your needs.
