Chemical peels
A skin peel is one of the least invasive ways to improve the appearance of skin. Typically applied to the face, a chemical peel enhances and smooths the texture of the skin to remove the damaged outer layers. It is an effective treatment for wrinkles, facial blemishes, and uneven skin pigmentation. Today, chemical facial peels have grown in popularity because they offer near immediate results. How much skin they remove and how deep the penetrate will depend on the type of peel used, it’s strength and how long it is left on the skin. Chemical peels are suitable for all skin types in both men and women

Q:Are Skin Peels Painful?
When the skin peel is applied the substances have a chemical reaction on the skin which burns away the surface dead skin cells of the epidermis. During this time you can experience a burning sensation on the skin, some clients describe it as itchy. Your practitioner will consult you throughout to check your level of discomfort.
Q:What peel is best for my skin type?
I will do a thorough skin analysis and consultation and advise you of what peel and strength they recommend you start with. Throughout the course of peels (course of 6 recommended) I will increase the length of time the peel is left on the skin and strength to ensure you get the maximum results.
