Skin Peel Treatment: Benefits, Types, and What to Expect

Ever considered a chemical peel but you’re not quite sure which one is best for you?

Lets start with what is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a treatment in where a chemical solution is applied to the to the top layer of the skin to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layer. The process promotes skin cell turnover, exposing skin that is smoother, clear and more even textured.

There are three main types of skin peels: light, medium and deep, each vary in strength and depth of penetration to suit different skin problems and desired outcome. Normally you will need 4-6 sessions to get the desired results.

The benefits

Chemical peels offer numerous benefits for skin rejuvenation and transformation, with the main benefits being:

1. Treat acne - Deep exfoliation helps clear acne and prevents further breakout. Salicylic Acid Peels are specific for oily, acne prone skin, and it works by unclogging pores, reducing inflammation and prevents further break outs.

2. Treats hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tones - Skin peels exfoliate the skin surface, improving uneven skin tones, and skin texture.

3. Stimulates collagen production - by encouraging new cell growth and skin renewal

4. Minimises pores - Deep exfoliation reduces the appearance of large pores.
