A Skin Peel is a non-invasive treatment that is designed to rejuvenate the skin through accelerated exfoliation. No machinery is used during a peel, but a high-quality professional skin care treatment is applied to the face for a short period of time while a therapist is with you. The peel can be applied several times during a treatment.
Check out the video below we’ve made of a Skin Peel being performed. We’ve sped the video up and condensed it into a 1 minute video to show you what happens during a Skin Peel.
You’ll see that it is a simple non-invasive treatment, yet it achieves outstanding results.
Your therapist will perform a thorough Skin Consultation with you and will recommend which type of Skin Peel is best suited to you. You do not need to decide which Skin Peel to book in for. Some Skin Peels require you to use home-care products for a several weeks leading up to the treatment (eg. A-Zyme Skin Peel). This is to ensure you skin is prepared for the treatment.
All of our Skin Peels take about 45 minutes. However it’s best if you allow up to an hour for a complete Skin Consultation before and after the Skin Peel.
