Why Choose Skin Peels?
Chemical and Medical peels even skin tone and reduce signs of ageing. They treat skin concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and large pores. Skin peels stimulate cell renewal and hydrate the skin, leaving it smoother, firmer, and plumper.
This treatment can unearth the beauty locked deep within your skin by stimulating cell regeneration. You may choose a peel treatment to address a specific condition or for overall skin rejuvenation. At Promed Aesthetic Clinic, we can customise a peel that targets your unique needs.
FAQ
What is a Skin Peel Treatment?
A Skin peel treatment involves the topical application of a solution to remove the outer layers. The amount of skin exfoliated varies based on the type and strength of the substance used, and how long it is left on the skin.
Exfoliating the outer layers stimulates new cell growth and unblocks pores, revealing fresher, healthier skin with a radiant glow. Skin peels are usually performed on the face, neck and back.
What to expect after a Peel?
The skin will peel for 2-3 days after the treatment, but this may vary depending on the depth of the peel. Your skin will be sensitive, so it’s important to leave it alone and avoid touching or pulling the peeling skin.
Applying a moisturiser will help alleviate any dryness and tightness you may feel. The moisturiser should be free of harsh chemicals that could irritate the skin. It is also essential to use sunscreen after, as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun.
When your skin has finished peeling, you will notice an improvement in the tone and texture. Improvements will continue for 4-6 weeks.
Which Skin Peel right for me?
There are three different types of peel: superficial, medium and deep peels. These are categorised by the strength of the acid solution used in the peel and how deeply they penetrate the skin. Deeper peels penetrate the skin further and require greater recovery time.
What skin conditions are Peels used for?
Acne, fine lines and wrinkles, rough skin texture, sun spots, pigmentation, melasma.
How do Skin Peels work?
The peel speeds up your natural skin’s healing process by stimulating the production of collagen and improving elastin fibres, these are what give skin it’s youthful form and shape. It also revitalizes sensitive skin and helps improve the appearance of irritated or inflamed skin.
