Skin Peels

Skin peels, also known as chemical peels, are cosmetic treatments that involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outer layer, leading to smoother, more uniform skin.

Skin peels are commonly used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and sun damage. They can also promote overall skin rejuvenation and radiance.

Yes, skin peels come in various strengths and formulations, including superficial, medium, and deep peels. Each type targets different skin concerns and requires varying downtime and recovery periods.

Individuals with concerns about sun-damaged skin, aging skin, acne-prone skin, and uneven skin tone may be suitable candidates for skin peels.

The skin is cleansed, and the chemical solution is applied to the treatment area. Depending on the type of peel, patients may experience a tingling or warm sensation during the procedure.

The downtime associated with skin peels varies based on the type and depth of the peel. Superficial peels typically have minimal downtime, while deeper peels may require several days of recovery.

Side effects may include redness, flaking, and peeling of the skin, as well as temporary sensitivity. It is essential to follow post-treatment care instructions to minimise potential side effects.

The number of treatments required depends on individual skin concerns and the type of peel being used. A series of treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.

Depending on individual skin goals, skin peels can be combined with other procedures such as laser therapy or dermal fillers for a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.

Following a customised skincare regimen can help optimise and maintain the results of a skin peel, as well as support skin health in the long term.
