Treatment Guide
Skin Peel Therapy Facial
Skin Peels are non-invasive, skin rejuvenation procedures that can be used on the face, hands, and neck. They’re used to make the skin look and feel revitalised.
During the process, acid-based solutions (e.g. trichloroacetic, glycolic, salicylic, mandelic acid) will be applied to the area being treated, causing the skin to exfoliate and finally peel off. The new skin beneath is usually smoother, less wrinkled and has less damage after this happens.
Key Treatment Facts
Skin Rejuvenation: Reduces wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and improves texture/tone.
Versatility: peels can be targeted to specific areas of concern. Following consultation, I will advise the most suitable approach to meet individual skincare needs.
Light/Superficial: Minimal downtime, treats outer layers for radiance.
Medium: Affects deeper skin layers, reduces acne scarring and deeper wrinkles.
Deep: Longest recovery time (2-3 weeks), treats severe damage.
Treatment Details
Suitable for the face, neck and hands Skin Peels address fine lines, acne scarring, and sun damage with treatment options from light (minimal downtime) to deep treatments.
Downtime depends on the strength of the acid peel, from one day for light, through to 2/3 weeks for deep peels.
Noticeable results develop within 10 days and incrementally increase across subsequent treatment sessions.
Each session typically lasts 60 minutes. For optimal results, it is recommended to have 4–6 treatments, spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Please do not wear makeup for your appointment.
Post treatment it’s essential to follow aftercare instructions, including avoiding sun exposure for a few days,
using a gentle skincare routine to avoid irritation and staying hydrated.
Also avoid any sweat-inducing exercise and skip make up for at least 24 hours whilst also avoiding heavy facial washing – gentle cleansing is fine.
