Medical Peel

Introduction:

A Medical Peel is a sophisticated skin resurfacing treatment that goes far beyond a standard facial. It uses a specialised chemical solution to remove the uppermost, damaged layers of the skin, triggering a healing response that stimulates new cell growth. This process reveals the fresher, healthier skin underneath and promotes the production of collagen, leading to a firmer, more youthful appearance. Whether your concern is persistent acne, uneven pigmentation, or the early signs of ageing, our Medical Peels are tailored to your specific needs, offering a safe and effective path to skin renewal.

Benefits:

• Improves Skin Texture and Tone: By removing the build-up of dead cells, the peel smooths rough skin and creates a more uniform, even-toned complexion.
• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: The treatment stimulates collagen synthesis deep within the skin, helping to plump fine lines and create a firmer, more youthful structure over time.
• Controls Acne and Reduces Blemishes: Medical Peels are highly effective at deep cleaning pores, reducing inflammation, and preventing future breakouts. They can also help fade the appearance of post-acne marks.
• Fades Pigmentation and Sun Damage: The peel lifts away discoloured cells, effectively reducing the appearance of sunspots, age spots, and melasma for a brighter, clearer complexion.
• Enhances Radiance: By clearing away the dull, outer layer of skin, this treatment instantly restores a natural, healthy luminosity.

Procedure:

1. Professional Skin Analysis: Your journey begins with an essential consultation where our specialist will thoroughly assess your skin type, condition, and concerns to select the most appropriate peel for you.
2. Preparation: The skin is meticulously cleansed and prepared to ensure the peeling solution penetrates evenly and effectively.
3. Peel Application: The chosen solution is carefully applied to your skin. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation as the active ingredients get to work. Our specialist will monitor your skin’s response throughout.
4. Neutralisation and Aftercare: After the designated time, the peel is neutralised and removed. A soothing, hydrating serum and protective sunscreen are then applied to calm the skin and protect the fresh new layer. The entire process typically lasts 30-45 minutes.

Contraindications and Safety:

Your health and safety are our utmost priority. A Medical Peel is a powerful treatment and is

not recommended for clients who:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Have used Roaccutane (isotretinoin) in the last 6-12 months.
• Have active cold sores, warts, or an infection in the treatment area.
• Suffer from eczema, psoriasis, or active rosacea on the face.
• Have had recent significant sun exposure or sunburn.

A full assessment will be conducted during your consultation to ensure you are a suitable candidate. We operate within a sterile, professional environment to guarantee your safety.

Results and Aftercare:

The results of a Medical Peel unfold over several days as your skin completes its renewal cycle.

• Timeline: Immediately after, your skin may appear slightly flushed. Over the next 3-7 days, you may experience mild to moderate peeling or flaking as the old skin sheds.

This is a positive sign that the treatment is working. The beautiful, glowing results will be fully visible once this process is complete.

• Recommended Course: While a single peel provides a wonderful boost, a course of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal and lasting correction of specific concerns.
• Longevity: With a good homecare routine and regular maintenance treatments, the benefits can be sustained long-term.

To ensure a perfect outcome and protect your new skin:

• Avoid direct sun exposure completely for at least one week and use a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily.
• Do not pick, peel, or scratch the shedding skin. Allow it to come away naturally.
• Use only gentle, hydrating cleansers and moisturisers as recommended by your specialist.
• Avoid exfoliating products, retinoids, and intense exercise for 5-7 days post-treatment.
