Benefits
Peels for various skin concerns
We have a range of peels designed to address specific skin concerns including acne, pigmentation and signs of ageing.
Predictable results for beautiful skin
We use acid substances rather than alkali substances as they produce controlled, predictable peeling, promote skin cell turnover and encourage regeneration and repair.
The ideal pick-me-up
Even if your skin is pristine and you just need a quick pick-me-up, a light peel can be beneficial.
Frequently asked questions
What are the types of peels?
Peels are usually divided into superficial, medium or deep. Medium to deeper peels are better for older patients with thicker, sun damaged skin. These patients benefit from a stronger peel that exfoliates all the superficial layers of the skin and stimulates the dermis to produce more collagen. Deeper peels have a better result but are more prone to complications. Younger patients with acne-prone skin, multiple blackheads, blocked pores, mild freckling or lighter skin usually benefit from a salicylate peel.
What should I be aware of before receiving a peel treatment?
Prior to undergoing a medi-aesthetic peel:
- Skin should be free of all open wounds and cold sores
- Let us know if you are prone to cold sores, as it is advisable to take a course of antiviral medications prior, during and after recovery
- Please let us know if you are currently taking Roaccutane
- Stop smoking prior to undergoing any form of peel at least two weeks prior to treatment
- Antibiotics should be commenced one day prior to a medium/deeper peel
- Keep skin free of make up on the day of your peel
- Stay out of the sun prior to treatment
- Do not apply home exfoliating treatments one week prior to treatment.
What happens after the peel?
With superficial peels, most patients see mild improvement in their skin within 24 hours. Skin can feel dry a few days later, so it is wise to apply moisturiser. Results take a few more days with a deeper peel, but after the necessary recovery period the skin looks healthier and blemish-free.
Superficial peels are best done as a series of six every three to four weeks. Medium depth TCA peels can be done once to twice a year.
