Chemical skin peels are targeted treatments intended to address a wide variety of skin concerns including, fine lines, texture issues, acne and pigmentation. They are mostly done on the face, but can also be done on other parts of the body including the neck, upper chest, back, shoulders, décolletage, neck, hands and feet.
They are a more intense form of facials which are generally milder and done to maintain the skin (please follow the link to find out more about the Peel2Glow, Glo, Invisapeel and Dermalux LED light facials).
A skin care consultation is necessary before booking to ensure that the correct procedure is chosen and that you are equipped with the information to best address your skin concern, and to discuss the skincare options available to you.
Please make sure you advise of any allergies including nuts or gluten.
These peels are not to be used in pregnant or breastfeeding women.
All follow up skin care consultations are free.
Sunscreen must be worn after these procedures for optimum effects. These can be purchased from the clinic or via the shop section of this website (except for ZO products which are not permitted to be advertised online).
