Facial Skin Peels

Peels have grown massively in popularity over the past two decades and can be a very effective treatment to Rejuvenate and Tighten the skin, treat Sun damage, reduce Lines and Wrinkles and deal with abnormal Pigmentation problems.

They are a very powerful treatment for ACNE and can be very effective where more conventional treatments have failed to adequately control this condition.

They DO NOT all cause severe peeling, redness and blistering that some TV makeover programmes will have us believe.

There are many different types of medical peels and they can be used on the Face, Hands, Décolleté, Arms, Legs etc. some are carried out as a course of treatment (example, weekly of monthly) others are applied in a single treatment.

Peels range from superficial and medium-depth that are designed to rejuvenate the skin by gently exfoliating (or lifting off) the upper layer of the skin in a controlled way, encouraging skin rejuvenation for a fresher, younger looking appearance.

Most peels also involve the use of home aftercare products and it is important that the client follows the skincare instructions given after a peel to ensure they gain maximum benefit from their investment in their skin.
