What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a skin treatment used to improve and smooth out the surface of the facial skin. A chemical solution removes the top layers of skin, which allows the dead surface skin to peel off. The peeling process leads to new skin growth, which is usually smoother, healthier and less wrinkled than the old skin.
What chemical peels treat
Chemical peels suit anyone who wants to combat the look of aging, hyperpigmentation or skin imperfections.
Acne
Chemical peels are an effective way to treat acne. They exfoliate the skin so dead skin cells are removed more effectively, and they remove excess oil from the skin. This unblocks hair follicles and pores, reducing the appearance of pimples and improving skin texture damaged by acne.
Fine lines and wrinkles
Peels reduce fine lines and wrinkles, especially under the eyes and around the mouth, in skin that is sun-damaged or aging.
Rough skin texture
Chemical peels can refine rough skin texture by increasing the amount of collagen in the upper layer of the skin.
Large freckles
Lentigines (large freckles) appear as dark spots on the skin and are also called liver spots or age spots. They can develop as a result of sun exposure and appear on areas exposed to excess sun, such as the face, arms and neck. A series of chemical peels can lighten large freckles and help improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.
Melasma
Melasma is a dark skin discolouration that appears as patches, commonly on the cheeks, nose, lips, upper lip and forehead. It is common in pregnant women and in women taking hormonal treatment in the form of contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy (HRT). A series of chemical peels can lighten the appearance of skin darkened by melasma.
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is caused by excess pigment in the skin, which can result in uneven skin tone. Chemical peels can lighten and even out the tone and appearance of the skin.
Medical facials between treatments
Using advanced formulations of SkinCeuticals professional products, medical facials have become the optimal skin maintenance program. Without any downtime, these customized facials allow exfoliation and collagen stimulation, improving the appearance of acne, large pores, pigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles.
Because only the highest calibre of medical-grade ingredients is used, SkinCeuticals facials have become the most cost-effective way to maintain the skin between laser procedures and augment the effects of any treatment program. Having these clinical facials routinely helps keep your complexion glowing, radiant and rejuvenated.
