The Lowdown on Chemical Peeling

Chemical Skin Peels are a popular type of cosmetic therapy.

And we can understand why. These deep moisturising treatments strip away dead and dull skin cells to reveal younger, vibrant and smoother complexion.

Skin firming chemical skin peels are probably one of the most rejuvenating skin treatment available, and this cosmetic treatment offers many benefits, and not just for the face. Did you know that chemical skin peels are so good for your hands and neck too?

Plus, we love that a chemical skin peel is one of the ultimate personalised cosmetic therapies. Our cosmetic doctor has complete control over the strength of the peel, how deeply the peel penetrates the skin and long the peel is applied to the skin, all to suit the individual skincare needs of each client.

The Glowing Skin Benefits

Skin benefits of chemical skin peel treatments are renowned. In a single cosmetic treatment clients can remove of old dead skin cells and smooth out skin tone, unclogging pores and allowing skincare to work more effectively.

Clients who obtain chemical skin peels also enjoy many other skin benefits:

Stimulating cell renewal
Increasing collagen production
Hydrating the skin
Evening out skin tone and texture
Improving acne, blackheads and whiteheads
Fading acne scarring and facial scarring
Correcting irregular hyperpigmentation
Treating pigmentation, freckles and sunspot damage

Chemical Peels Are Not One Size Fits All

Like all skincare and cosmetic treatments, a skin peel may not be the best option to improve your complexion.

We can adivse you on whether a skin peel will provide the skin enhancing results you are craving.

However, as a rule, chemical skin peels are not effective for those with a dark complexion or anyone with red hair and a pale, freckled complexion.

Think about the downtime involved in recovery. Skin peels create red, tender skin that heals slowly and needs gentle care. It is essential to stay out of the direct sun and use SPF30.

Also having a history of frequent or severe outbreaks of cold sores may not make this your best option. Clients with a history of cold sores are likely to see an outbreak from a chemical skin peel.

Finally, consider whether other cosmetic technology, such as the Fraxel laser can address your skin concerns. Especially for those wanting to obtain a deeper skin peel, Fraxel laser treatment offers state-of-the-art cosmetic therapy with the same risks and same complicated post-treatment care regime. We can offer you the best advice about this.

Types of Chemical Skin Peel Treatments

The deeper a face peel permeates the skin layers, the more pronounced the glowing skin results. However, this means a longer peeling time, which means more downtime.

Let us guide you to the right strength of cosmetic skin peel for your skin goals:
Superficial Chemical Peels
Medium Chemical Peels
Deep Chemical Peels

Superficial Chemical Peels are light chemical skin peels that lighten and re-energise the complexion. They removing the outer, top layer of skin to leave it softer and smoother, and are effective to regularly treat fine wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone and dryness.
Light facial peeling generally occurs from days 3 – 5 and these days will need to be taken off work.

Medium Chemical Peel penetrate deeper into the upper part of your middle layer of skin to treat ageing concerns like fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, plus freckles and acne scars. Clients generally require about a week off work with peeling occurring from days 4 – 7.

Deep Chemical Peels penetrate deep into the skin layers and work to treat deep wrinkles and scars. They require longer off work.
