“The decision to undergo surgery should never be treated lightly, as all surgical procedures come with varying degrees of risk and recovery time associated with them.”
Chemical Peel
A skin peel is designed to create an even, controlled shedding of up to several layers of damaged cells. This exposes a fresh layer of skin with more consistent colour and smoother texture. In addition, the peel stimulates new cells to grow, thereby tightening the skin, which decreases wrinkling.
Chemical peels can improve many conditions, including: dull, weathered skin; freckling; blotchy pigmentation, including that resulting from pregnancy and the contraceptive pill; sun damage; fine wrinkling; and shallow acne scars.
Although one peel can significantly improve the appearance of the skin, some skin problems are deeper than others and may require subsequent applications to achieve the best results.
Before a peel we organise a consultation with our skin specialist to examine your skin and discuss the potential benefits and risks of a peel for your particular skin type.
The application of the peel solution is usually associated with a few minutes of a burning and stinging sensation. This is so brief that most patients choose not to use any sedation or anaesthesia. The solution dehydrates the top layers of skin cells causing them to peel off over a period of several days, exposing a new layer of undamaged skin with a smoother texture and a more even colour.
