During the consultation, your practitioner will evaluate your skin type, concerns, and medical history to determine the most suitable type of chemical peel for you. They will discuss your desired outcomes and explain the procedure, potential risks, and expected recovery time. This personalised approach ensures you achieve the best possible results.
The chemical peel procedure begins with a skin assessment, where the practitioner evaluates your skin and marks the treatment areas. Next, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any oils and impurities. The chemical solution is then applied to the skin using a brush. This solution is left on the skin for a specific amount of time, during which you may experience a tingling or stinging sensation. For some peels, a neutralising solution is then applied to stop the chemical reaction, and the peel is gently removed. The procedure concludes with the application of a soothing serum or cream to aid in the healing process.
Chemical peels can treat various areas, including the face, neck, hands, and décolletage, addressing concerns like wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and overall skin quality. However, our clinic doesn't offer treatment for all these areas.
Chemical peels use various acids such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and phenol to exfoliate the skin.
The duration of results varies depending on the type of peel. Light peels may last a few weeks, medium peels several months, and deep peels up to several years.
Common side effects include redness, swelling, and peeling. These typically subside within a few days to weeks, depending on the peel's depth.
You may experience a tingling or stinging sensation during the procedure. Deep peels may require local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort.
Yes, chemical peels can be combined with other treatments like microneedling, laser therapy, or dermal fillers for enhanced results. Your practitioner will advise on the best combination for your needs.
