Agepeel – for Mature skin 

Anti-aging Peel: an effective combination of acids to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and fade imperfections, leaving the skin smooth and renewed. Activates skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin. Stimulation from a chemical peel can increase the production of many key elements that help to obtain a youthful looking complexion. Rich in L-Mandelic acid and Lactobionic acid, agePeel is the perfect peel to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles.

Whitepeel – Depigmenting for youthful looking skin.

This chemical peel is the ultimate treatment for depigmenting. The most effective way to achieve a brighter and even skin tone, free of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, is to eliminate skin cells rich in melanin and prevent the darkening of the new skin cells. Especially designed to target sun damage and hyperpigmentation problems. White Peel penetrates the skin’s pigment cells (melanocytes) to gently and effectively reduce the appearance of unwanted discolouration, for a more even skin tone.

Betapeel  for Oily/Acne blemished skin  

Anti-acne Peel:Rapidly brings blemished skin under control and dramatically reduces the risk of future outbreaks.  BetaPeel counteracts all three fronts of acne by targeting each assault individually: blocked pore, comedone and inflammation. betaPeel delivers a heavy dose of salicylic acid and azelaic acid straight into the pores and follicles, helping to keep the pores clear of cellular debris therefore reducing the number of pore blockages on the skin.

Clinical grade skin peels are suitable for most skin types – Our Therapist will recommend and advise the best treatment options for you.

What are the benefits of the treatment?

This procedure has been used for a number of years to tackle skin complaints such as wrinkles, age spots, pigment abnormalities and other superficial skin problems such as sun damage, freckles and acne scarring. The benefits of this treatment are:

  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduction of superficial scars caused from acne
  • Smoother textured skin surface
  • Colour irregularities improved
  • Fresher and more vibrant appearance

What are the side effects of this treatment?

The solution that is applied to the skin is intended to dry out the upper layers of skin causing them to peel away. This may cause some redness and itching as the skin begins to peel. Some pain may also be experienced similar to that of mild sunburn. 

How long does the treatment take?

The treatment takes around 30 minutes per session. This treatment is a course of usually 4 -6 sessions that are carried out on a fortnightly basis, but a treatment course will be designed at your consultation for your specific skin needs prior to the commencement of your treatments.

How long before I can go in the sun?

The skin that peels away after the procedure leaves a fresh layer of skin that is vulnerable. It is advised that you stay out of the sun for at least 6-8 weeks following this treatment. Sun cream must also be worn at all times following the procedure even in winter time. This is to protect the new skin, if exposed to the sun this may affect the benefits of the treatment.
