Skin Peels
Information
Many skin problems are associated with an excessive build up of dead skin cells, which make the skin look dull and can clog the pores.
Medical aesthetic grade Skin peels can offer a wonderful way to effectively remove dull and dead skin cells and can treat many different skin issues including:
-Dry ageing skin,
-Dull looking skin
-Acne and post acne pigmentation and scarring
-Reducing sun damage spots and hyper pigmentation.
The peeling procedure can also help the skin to appear smoother, healthier, plumper tighter....generally rejuvenated.
Depending on the result you want and the amount of potential 'down time' you are happy with can influence the type of peel used. All peels will be tailored to you.
Dr. Issy will discuss what is better for your goals and also the type of peel that may be best.
Skin peels utilise the application of a chemical solution to the surface of the skin, resulting in the careful removal of its outer layers. The depth of skin involved depends on the type of chemical and strength of peel used, and how long it is left on the skin.
SUPERFICIAL PEELS (Glycolic acid based peels)
Remove the outer layer of the skin or the "epidermal layers".
SUPERFICIAL TO MEDUIM DEPTH PEELS (e.g the NeoStrata peels)
Remove the skin slightly deeper than epidermal layer.
MEDIUM DEPTH PEELS (Trichloroacetic acid such as Obagi Blue peel)
Removes both the epidermal layers and upper dermal layers.
Different results will be achieved depending on your goals and peel used. Each has a small price difference.
All aspects to make a tailored plan will be discussed at your initial consultation.
