Chemical Peels
What are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a chemical solution that is professionally applied to the skin to remove the damaged outer layer of the skin (in a controlled way) causing the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. It is used to even out the skin texture, improves your complexion, and the quality of the skin on your face, neck, décolletage or hands.
It is a non-surgical procedure that speeds up your skin cells turn over. With the types of peel we use, there is no downtime. Results are seen within a few days.

Choosing the Right Peel?
Your Doctor will help you choose the right peel treatment for you based on:
• Your skin type
• The skin condition to be treated
• The kind of results you would like to achieve
Frequency of Peels
It is recommended to have 4-6 peels to achieve visible and long-lasting results at 2-4 week intervals. This is followed by 2-3 monthly peel to maintain the achieved benefits.
After the Chemical Peel
Superficial Peel
• The redness will disappear a few minutes after the peel, due to the application of a post-treatment moisturiser.
• The moisturiser will be repeated as often as necessary over the next 2 to 3 days.
• Your skin may feel tight but smooth and a superficial desquamation may occur.
• Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after the peel.
• It is essential to protect the new, sensitive layer of skin with a high protection sunscreen during the whole treatment period and for at least one month after the peel.
Medium Peel
• During the first few days after the peel, there may be some swelling, especially if the area around the eyes is treated.
• The skin will then flake off gradually and be replaced by new fresh skin. This will take 5 to 7 days to restore itself completely, during which time it should be kept well hydrated with frequent application of the moisturiser.
• It is essential to protect the new, sensitive layer of skin with a high protection sunscreen during the whole treatment period and for at least one month after the peel.
How to Optimise Peel Effectiveness.
It is recommended to combine the in-clinic treatments with an adapted homecare program to:
• Prepare the skin 15 days before the first treatment
• Restore and protect the skin after each peel
A typical skincare program includes 4 key actions:
Purify your skin with an Expert Cleanser.
Prevent the appearance of signs of skin ageing with a Serum.
Restore your skin with a Moisturiser.
Protect your skin from UV rays with a high protection SPF 50
Chemical Peels may not be suitable for you:
