What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are a quick and simple technique to achieve dramatic results for the face, neck and hands. They can be used an ‘one off’  to achieve radiance for a special occasion or as a series of treatment to reverse or lessen the effects or pigment and scarring skin conditions.

​

Conditions it can be used for include:

Acne

Acne scarring,

Pigmentation such as melasma

Fine lines and wrinkles

Sun damage

​

How it Works

A chemical peel simply reacts with the very top layer of the skin causing it to come away, revealing a healthier, smoother and a blemish free complexion underneath. As the skin heals  new cells are made and there is greater collagen production helping to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

​

Glycolic Peels

​

TCA Peels

TCA is Tricholoacetic acid and is a medium to deep peel.This can usually penetrate to the deeper layer of the skin (the dermis) which results in reorganization of the skin and increased cell growth leading to healthier skin layers and stimulating skin to produce more collagen.The TCA peel results in a dramatic rejuvenated appearance.
