Facial Peels

Facial peels can improve acne scarring and the signs of ageing by removing several layers of the skin thus evening out pigmentation, cleaning clogged pores and smoothing lines and wrinkles. The procedure also references the skin by encouraging cell turnover.

There are numerous facial peels of varying strengths on the market. To ensure that you choose the correct one for your skin type and condition, a consultation with a dermatologist, aesthetic doctor or specialist nurse practitioner is essential. The weaker peels are suitable for all skin types although caution must be taken on very fair and very dark skins. The treatment takes only about 20 minutes and afterwards the skin may be red and feel rather hot. Dry flaky skin may appear

after 3-5 days which is a sign that the peel has lifted the dead skin.

The deeper peels obviously cause a stronger reaction and "breadcrumb" peeling will be evident after about 4 days although this is easily covered with a thick moisturiser. A course of peels is usually advised in most cases, along with some home care package and this along with other post treatment precautions such as the use of high factor sun block will be discussed at your consultation.

Combination Treatments

Facial photo rejuvenation, injectable fillers, muscle relaxant injections and facial peels are all designed to treat different problems and there is a misapprehension that any one of these treatments is the answer to all conditions. This is not the case and there is an increasing tendency for various treatments to be packaged to give the best result for the patient. The suitability and possibility of combination treatments will be explained to you at the time of your consultation and in fact can be offered in such a way that you can decide from your "personally tailored shopping list", how much or how little of the package you wish to consider.
