Chemical peels are a versatile and effective treatment for a range of skin issues, from ageing to acne. They work by exfoliating the skin and promoting the growth of healthier skin, resulting in smoother, clearer and more radiant skin and who doesn’t want a GLOWING complexion?!✨
Chemical peels are popular because they offer a range of benefits, depending on your skin type and concerns. They stimulate cell renewal, revealing fresher, smoother, and more even-toned skin underneath by exfoliating off the outermost layer of skin.
Regular chemical peels help improve the overall texture and tone of your skin. They reduce the appearance of rough patches, uneven skin tone, and dullness, leaving your skin looking brighter and more radiant which is what we all strive for!
Chemical peels are effective in helping to treat hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots and sun damage. For those struggling with acne,breakouts will be reduced by unclogging pores and controlling excess oil production. The appearance of acne scars will also be reduced by promoting the growth of new, healthy skin.
By removing the top layer of dead skin cells, chemical peels will enhance the penetration and effectiveness of your skincare products, allowing them to work more efficiently.
Chemical peels typically have minimal downtime, making them an excellent option for those looking to improve their skin without any intense treatments.
We have the Obagi Blue peel Radiance and Skinceuticals Micropeels which are amazing chemical peels to help you achieve radiant glowing skin as well as prep your skin for laser treatments!!
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance
The Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is a salicylic acid-based chemical peel designed to improve the texture and tone of your skin. This peel is more tailored to those who suffer with acne and congestion.
The 20% salicylic acid in the peel is particularly effective for oily and acne-prone skin. It helps control oil production and reduce the frequency of breakouts. This peel is also designed to reduce inflammation within the skin. We see fantastic results in the clinic for our acne patients with this peel.
SkinCeuticals Micropeel
The SkinCeuticals Micropeel is known for its effectiveness in improving skin texture, tone, and overall radiance, while being gentle enough for regular use. YOur make-up will glide on!
This micropeel also stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time with regular treatments.
Why Chemical Peels Before Laser Treatment?
- Improved Laser Penetration. Exfoliating the outermost layer of dead skin cells allows the laser to penetrate more effectively, enhancing the results of the treatment.
- Smoother Skin Surface. Prepping the skin with a peel creates a more uniform surface, making the laser treatment more consistent and reducing the risk of post-treatment complications.
- Reduction of Pigmentation and Acne. Pre-treating with a peel can reduce pigmentation or active acne. This will help the laser to focus on deeper concerns without interference from surface-level issues.
- Healing and Results. Start with a chemical peel so the skin is better prepared to heal after your laser treatment. THis will also help to enhance results.
Using a chemical peel can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your prescribed skin journey plan.
Overall, chemical peels can be a valuable addition to your skincare routine. It’s important to consult with your therapist to determine the best type of peel for your skin type and concerns.
We can’t wait to get you GLOWING!
