Peels do carry risks but generally can be used on most areas of the body with minimum discomfort and downtime. Peels can be used to:

• Reduce pigmentation caused from sun exposure or hormones on hands, face décolletage and neck
• Un-block Pores
• Reduce open pores
• Treat acne
• Lighten, brighten and even out complexion
• Treat dull lack-lustre complexion
• Treat sun damage
• Reduce wrinkles
• Reduce fine lines and acne scarring
• L  LLighten, brighten and even skin texture and tone
• Assist with other complexion irregularities, and even treat acne reducing redness, sebum production, inflammation and infectionGentle peels applied regularly can help gradually improve and maintain your skin with almost no downtime allowing you to reapply your make up and return to your regular activities. This is a popular option for those that want a slow, gradual improvement.

All our full micro-dermabrasion treatments include a lower level peel if your skin can take it but for more vigourous peeling and treatment of deeper skin concerns we have stronger peels.

Medium and deeper peels require an initial consultation so that our expert technicians can tailor the peel for your needs and lifestyle requirements. These may require preparation of your skin for several weeks with AHA or Retin A treatments to ensure optimal results for you. These peels have a longer recovery period and you need to be prepared for the way you will look and feel during this time.

One of the most difficult things to gauge is "how much peeling". Some clients want to shed as much skin as possible in one peel, whereas others wish to peel more slowly and less obviously. Unfortunately skin is quite unique and can react differently from peel to peel.

Please discuss the level of peeling and result you wish to achieve when you come for your consultation.
