Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, causing the superficial dead layers of skin to separate, peel off and to stimulate the production of new healthy cells. The new skin looks brighter and fresher with an overall new softer glow and may be even more even in colour.
Chemical peels can improve:
Pigmentation
Fine lines and wrinkles
Age spots
Acne scarring
Sun Damage
There are many different kinds of peels one of the most popular is the AHA peel. This product is available in different strengths usually varying from 20% to 70%.
The procedure is fast and convenient, taking around 30 - 40 minutes. With virtually no recovery time, you can be back to your normal routine the same day. There is no significant pain or discomfort or need for anaesthesia. Usually it takes 4-6 treatments at monthly intervals to achieve a good result.
One of the things that vibrant, young looking skin depends on is continual cell turnover. Our skin is always in the process of losing dead cells and replacing them with new ones. As we age this process slows down significantly. This means duller skin with more blemishes and fine lines. One treatment that can speed up the cell renewal process is the chemical peel.
