Facial Peels

What it is: A facial peel improves skin condition and texture through the use of Glycolic Acid or lactic acid- fruit acid shown to be the most effective AHA. A peel will slough away dead skin cells, clearing and cleaning blocked pores and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Procedure time: 30 minutes.
• Down time: No healing required. Face is flushed immediately after treatment but this pinkness fades within a few hours. Patients are advised to wear sunscreen SPF 15 during and after a course of facial peels.
• Lasting effects: A course of 5 treatments is recommended. Improvement is on going and can be continued with occasional 'top-up' treatments and use of Glycolic acid facial products.
• Risks: Mild skin irritation.
• Pain: Slight stinging sensation during treatment - face may feel warm afterwards.
