Treatment Details

How often should you get a chemical peel? Well, this depends on the reason for the peel, if you are wanting to improve the appearance of the skin’s overall tone and texture, it is recommended that you have a peel every 4-6 weeks. However, if your main concern is acne prone skin then I would recommend a peel every 2 weeks, till we see an improvement. As a matter of course it is recommended that you have a course of peels to achieve the desired effect.

A maintenance peel less frequently can keep on top of results. Packages are available at discounted rates for multiple peels. Your skin will be more sensitive following a peel so it is recommended that you apply an SPF of 50 to the treated area.

How Does it Work?

Chemical peels have been used since ancient times. It is said that Cleopatra applied sour milk containing lactic acid to her skin making her among the first to appreciate the benefits of chemical peels. Today dermatologists use a variety of acids to peel the skin including lactic, glycolic, salicyclic, retinoic and trichloracetic acids. When applied to the skin these acids interact with proteins causing exfoliation and peeling of the skin. Different acids cause peeling at different depths allowing us to perform superficial, medium and deep peels. Chemical peels can be used to improve acne, pigmentation, freckling, wrinkles, skin tone and texture. They are an excellent way to freshen the skin and to maintain skin health and beauty.
