What’s the big deal about peels?
The name says it all: chemical peels literally peel away imperfections in the skin. Chemical peels are one of our most popular treatments for one simple reason… they work!
What is it?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment to improve the appearance and texture of your skin. Each peel is different, tailored, and targeted perfectly to your specific skin issues. A solution is applied to remove the top layers of dead skin cells to resurface and rejuvenate your skin. Once this happens, your ‘new’ skin often appears clearer with improved pigmentation and a visible reduction in sun damage, acne and fine lines.
How does it work?
Peels work by stimulating new collagen production and encouraging healthy skin cell growth For best results, a series of peels is recommended. A course of skin peels gradually increases the concentration of active ingredients which remarkably improves the texture, tone and appearance of your skin.
What can peels do for you?
Peels can be very effective in treating many types of skin problems. Some peels are specifically designed to reduce pigmentation and active acne. Other peels give a plumping, hydrating effect, reducing the visible signs of aging. As well as this, stronger chemical peels can be used selectively to target acne scars or deeper lines, helping to smooth the skin’s surface.
How about a galvanic infusion?!
A galvanic infusion provides the skin with a deeper infusion of rejuvenating ingredients to treat an array of skin concerns. A galvanic infusion can:
- reduce dullness and increase skin glow
- minimise fine lines and wrinkles
- improve skin elasticity
- boost blood circulation in your skin
- detoxify your skin
- improve complexion
A galvanic infusion uses a low-level, continuous current that stimulates cells, moves tissue fluid and softens blackheads. It drives rejuvenating oils and ingredients deep into the epidermis.
How do peels and galvanic infusions work together?
As mentioned earlier, a series of peels is recommended as the best way to get the most effective results. We recommend a six-week alternating regime: ie. a cosmetic peel one week, followed by galvanic infusion the next week. This is then followed by a slightly stronger chemical peel. We find that a cycle of 3 x chemical peels and galvanic infusions (a total of six treatments over six weeks), has the best results!
What should I expect after my treatment?
The side effects of receiving a peel or galvanic infusion are quite minimal and the recovery time is little to none. You will generally experience redness to your skin immediately after treatment. If desired, we apply a mineral makeup so you can go about your day as if nothing has been done.
