| One of the best ways to refresh and rejuvenate your skin is with Gel Peels. They act by exfoliating your dead superficial skin layers and also by stimulating collagen production. This makes your skin not only appear, but also feel fresher and younger. This is ideal for smokers who find that their skin tone is dull, or to help simulate healthy skin when initiating diet and lifestyle changes. They work for all skin types including problem skin such as acne, dry flaking skin, sensitive skin, combination skin and oily or greasy skin. They are recommended for all ages. There are two types of peel on offer in this range –glycolic and salicylic peels.
A course of six peels result in improved condition, tone and appearance of your skin. A peel may be considered as a prelude to other skin treatments such as fillers (Restyaline, teosyal, Hydrafil) and muscle relaxant injections (botox) to improve the overall cosmetic benefit. The peels are done on a weekly basis over six weeks. There is no downtime with the gel peels as they are a light to medium depth treatment and do not usually cause redness or flaking of the skin. This means that you can return to work or your normal daily duties immediately after a treatment. It is however important to wear a sun block whilst having the treatments. This will protect the new skin. We will advise on suitable sun block options as part of your initial assessment. You will also be advised of other products that can enhance and improve your skin to protect against the ageing process. |
