Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are like a ‘reset’ button for the skin.
Our peels are tailored for each client, so you can get anything from a gentle, all-over rejuvenation to an intense skin reset.
-
Peels can treat skin issues such as acne, skin pigmentation, dull skin, sun-damaged skin, anti-aging, or even just to give you some general skin rejuvenation.
Some peels are gentle enough that there will be minimal shedding while other serve as a deep resurfacing treatment.
-
Depending on the type of peel and the intensity of treatment, peels can feel varying amount of "hot" or "spicy" during application.
We counter this by providing a hand-held fan as well as having a cool air-conditioned room to help relieve discomfort.
This "hot" feeling subsides by the end of your appointment.
-
Downtime varies depending on the type of peel you're being treated with and the intensity of treatment (as a peel can be layered to achieve different results).
After your peel you might experience any of the following -
Redness and swelling for up to 48hrs after treatment
If any peeling or shedding of the skin occurs this usually starts around day 3-5 and can take up to 7-14 days to finish peeling.
Our experts will go through your expected downtime in your appointment, and you will receive instructions and products to assist during post care and recovery.
-
This varies depending on the skin concerns being treated and the desired outcome.
Some people may only need a single light peel to feel rejuvenated, others may require a series of peels over several months to get the desired results.
Our team can discuss your desired outcome with you and advise a plan for getting your desired outcome.
-
A light or superficial peel usually give results that last 1-2 months, whereas results from more intense peels can last up to 6 months.
Our team will advise on what to expect for the longevity of your results.
IMPORTANT: Some chemical peels are more intense than others, and may require vitamin A preparation in advance. Please contact our clinic if you are unsure which peel is best for your skin needs.
