What are Professional Peels?
A chemical peel is used to improve your skin’s appearance, texture and tone. It uses chemical solutions to remove dead and damaged skin cells, resulting in brighter, smoother skin.
A chemical peel also stimulates cell turnover and improves active skincare absorption, leading to better results from your skincare products.
It’s a highly effective treatment that is a good option to minimise fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, rosacea and uneven skin tone.
We usually recommended 4–6 treatments, depending on the skin concern we’re treating. You can choose to continue with monthly or seasonal maintenance peels to help maintain results.
Some people experience heat or prickling when the peel is on. This is completely normal and doesn’t last long.
Chemical Peels should be avoided if you:
- are pregnant or breastfeeding
- are sunburnt
- have an active skin infection or inflammation
- have taken Accutane (isotretinoin) in the past six months.
- Specific skin tones measured on fitzpatrick scale.
If you’re prone to cold sores we advise the use of prophylactic medication prior to a peel.
People with increased pigmentation will need to use a tyronaise inhibitor at least two weeks prior to a chemical peel to decrease the risk of hyperpigmentation.
