Advanced Skin Peel

Every skin peel begins with a thorough consultation which helps you to understand the procedure, the possible side effects and the importance of aftercare. Your peel is then chosen specifically for your skin type and concerns whilst taking into consideration your skin’s colour and tanning ability. After a thorough cleansing, the skin is prepped and the chosen skin peel is applied. Once the peel has been on for the appropriate length of time, it is then neutralised. A cooling serum is applied to soothe and hydrate the skin. A tolerable burning or stinging sensation may be felt during the application of the peel.

Please note, prior to a peel, the skin will need to be prepared with certain products for a minimum of two weeks to ensure that optimum and predictable results are achieved. This preparation time may be longer if you have just started on a medical grade skincare regime.

Long term results and skin health are achieved by a course of skin peels and advanced clinical facials, which are accompanied by a preventative, corrective and protective homecare programme.

The reaction of the skin post-treatment will depend on the type of peel chosen. You may notice that the skin is red and feels tighter than usual afterwards. The skin may feel tight or dry and you may experience mild flaking in certain areas for a few days. Rarely, you may experience crusting of the skin or slight swelling.

Appropriate skincare will be recommended on the day of your treatment to help accelerate the healing process, protect the skin from the environment and enhance your desired results. Your normal skincare programme can be resumed after day three, with more active products being introduced after day five or when the skin has returned to normal.

Please note, a re-activation of cold sores is possible, so please see your doctor for a course of prophylactic medication prior to a skin peel.
