What is Chemical Skin Peel?
It is a chemical exfoliation process, which will penetrate the deeper layers, so that the top layers begin to shed. The process stimulates collagen and increases cellular turnover, so you’re left with fresh, radiant skin. This treatment works best for people who are experiencing acne and scarring, discoloration, poor texture, and hyperpigmentation. This safe and effective treatment is also effective anti-ageing solution.

CHEMICAL PEEL
Superficial - This is sometimes referred to as superficial, which will remove the epidermis – the outer layer. This can be used for treating dryness, uneven skin-tone, acne, and fine wrinkles. You may be able to have this as regularly as every two to five weeks, depending on the results you’re looking to achieve, and skin-types.
​
Medium - This will remove skin cells from the epidermis, as well as portions from the upper part of the dermis, which is the skin’s middle layer. Medium depth can help uneven skin tone, acne scars, and wrinkles. This treatment can enhance the appearance of mild scars through the use of a chemical solution to get rid of the outer layer of old skin. In order to maintain results, you can repeat between every three and nine months.
​
Deep - These will remove skin cells from the epidermis, as well as the mid to lower layer of your dermis. If you have precancerous growths or deeper wrinkles, this may be the best solution for you.
The Chemical Skin Peel Treatment
During your consultation we will determine which chemical peel is right for you. We will find out about your lifestyle habits, skin types and your goals, as well as assessing the current condition of your skin.
​
When you are ready to begin, we will prime your skin by using a pre-prep solution. You can also use a fan to help you with any sting or tingling sensation. We will then start to peel. This will take around 30 minutes, although this can differ from patient to patient. Once we are finished, we will apply a post-peel moisturizer and some sunscreen, and then you’re good to go.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does it hurt?While everyone experiences different levels of pain, you may feel some discomfort and needle stick pain.
-
Are there any side effects?There may be some swelling or bruising for a few days. The results commonly improve over time, as the swelling subsides, and the filler settles more naturally – this process often takes up to 2 weeks.
-
Am I suitable for Fillers treatment?This treatment is not suitable for anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding or has severe allergic reactions
-
Fillers Aftercare?The following may assist with recovery and results: Following the instructions provided by our specialists before and after your treatment Stay upright following your treatment for 3-4 hours Avoid sleeping for 3-4 hours after the treatment (to avoid pressing the treated area) Take arnica supplements and apply arnica cream Avoid strenuous exercise following the treatment Limit your sun exposure Apply a cold compress to the treated area Avoid facial treatments or other treatments on the area Should you experience any symptoms, notify us so we can best assist you. To maintain the effect of your treatment, you will require further follow ups.
-
When will I see results?Most patients will notice immediate results following their filler treatment. However, note that it can take 7-10 days to notice the final results, which is when any potential bruising, swelling or redness subsides.
-
How long do the results last?This will depend on your own metabolism. Some people will break down the fillers more quickly than others. A general rule of thumb is that fillers typically last longer in the areas that move the least – such as cheeks, in comparison to lips, which may last a little less time. To maintain the effectiveness of your Fillers treatment, you will require further follow-ups, but you can expect your cheek fillers to last for 6 months and more.
-
What are the benefits of Fillers?Quick – most treatments take approximately 30 minutes to perform.
