Chemical Peels

What?

Chemical Peels are intended to remove the outermost layers of the skin through accelerated exfoliation induced by a chemical agent.

Chemical peeling is controlled wounding of the skin with predictable results. Peels are controlled via the amount of time they remain on the skin, concentration and the type of peel used.

Chemical peels are perfectly safe when performed by a highly trained and skilled therapist. At SKIN SCIENCE we pride ourselves in continuous training in order to provide the most effective and safe treatments for our clients.

Types

There are many different types of peeling agents available today. Each peel is indicated for a certain skin type or condition.

Each peel has a specific action on the skin and therefore may be best indicated in certain conditions

At SKIN SCIENCE we work with Lamelle’s chemical peels. Our chemical peels are indicated to treat a variety of different conditions such as: ageing skin, dry and dull skin, hyperpigmentation and acne to name a few.

Who?

There are a wide variety of chemical peels and each one is indicated for different skin concerns. Peels can be used to treat anything from fine lines and wrinkles, acne, dull, dry skin, hyperpigmentation to name a few.

It is always important to remember that the condition of the skin needs to be assessed before any chemical peels can be done. It is always best to do a thorough skin analysis before doing any chemical peel to ensure that one’s skin is indicated for this type of treatment. Remember not all skin types are indicated for peels.

To start off we recommend a Skin Analysis. This allows us to see what is going on within the different skin layers. From our findings we are able to draw up the best treatment plan indicated to treat your skin condition.

We always recommend a combination of products and treatments over a period of time to ensure the best possible results.

Benefits

As we get older our body’s ability to slough off dead skin cells becomes slower and slower, meaning that the older cells stay in place longer. This is why our skins can appear more dull and aged.

Chemical peels have the following benefits:

1. Accelerates sloughing off process
2. Stimulates production of new, healthy skin cells
3. Induces production of new collagen and elastin
4. Smoothes uneven skin texture
5. Softens fine lines and wrinkles
6. Improves acne
7. Improves hyperpigmentation
8. Improves overall skin colour
