What are chemical peels?
Chemical Peels are a great intensive yet non-aggressive modality in your treatment plan to fast-track results, encouraging rejuvenation in the deeper levels of the skin with minimal downtime.
Before beginning treatment, we first complete a detailed skin consultation where we can recommend a suitable course of peels, reinforced with a thorough home care regime to achieve the best results. Our peels utilise alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids and vitamin A in differing levels or strengths. We take care to introduce these ingredients slowly, building your skins over-all health and strength without causing any trauma.
Benefits of our peels can include intense hydration and plumping, increased cell turn-over, stimulation of collagen and elastin, normalisation of your sebaceous glands, improvement of pigmentation, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles or textures and pores.
A course of peels can be incredibly useful, and is recommended for the treatment of acne. Book in a consultation if you are unsure what the best treatment is for you.

Introducing
The Deep Sea Peel
Think a peel and microneedling had a baby... this non-acid peel utilises manual exfoliation with marine particles to resurface and rejuvenate the skin.
This intensive peel boasts incredible results for reducing hyperpigmentation, texture, scarring and sun damaged skin.
This treatment is not for the faint of heart (or sensitive skins) and you can expect a downtime of approximately one week. During this time you may experience redness, sensitivty, swelling and peeling before results can be seen.

A package of three is recommended for ultimate results.
