These peels blend high-end active vitamins, peptides and antioxidants with carefully chosen AHA, BHA and enzymes in an advanced delivery system to ensure the skin is rebuilt, strengthened, and repaired from the inside out.

We will not treat over active sores (herpes simplex virus). If you have been prescribed medication, please inform your technician prior to treatment of the medication you are taking. Peels are not offered during pregnancy except for Exfoliating Peel. If you have sun exposure in the 2 weeks prior to treatment we will need to postpone your treatment.

The treatment takes approximately 30mins, depending on the skin concerns being treated, and can be done during a lunch break

Initially the treated area is red due to increased circulation but will generally fade within a few hours. Exfoliation and peeling with some of the peels is common a few days after treatment but will decrease once multiple treatments have been performed and the area is in better condition. If breakouts or damaged skin have been treated, the area may be red and could scab lasting approximately 5-7 days with no residual scarring. Mineral make up can be applied to the area immediately after treatment, to ensure you can get back to your day without any interruption.

For general rejuvenation, it is recommended to have approximately six treatments with treatments being performed every 2-4 weeks (advised by your technician to best suit your skin). Severe breakouts or pigmentation may require more treatments. After the first course, this can be maintained every 8-12 weeks.

• The Exfoliating and Pigment peel does not have any expected downtime.
• The Acne Peel is the most aggressive peel in terms of skin shedding.
• The Rejuvenate Peel may experience shedding.
• Purging of the skin is common post-treatments.

We believe that preparation of the skin is crucial to achieving maximum results. Specific homecare products will be prescribed for you to use at home before your chemical peel treatment. We can then more precisely predict the outcome and limit the possibility of adverse reactions. The skin will be healthier, more hydrated and acclimatised to the ingredients we will use, allowing a better result from the treatment.

A good starting point is to book a consultation with one of our experienced skin technicians. You will have the opportunity to discuss your concerns and ask questions. You will be provided with detailed information regarding the treatments or procedures that can help you, the expected outcomes, and the costs involved.
