Chemical peels are intended to controllably remove the outermost layers of skin, improving and smoothing not only the texture of the skin but recovering any existing scarring and rejuvenation of the face or neck skin.
Not for the faint hearted, our High Performance Chemical Peels are our highest level of peels and will require a consultation prior to booking. Depending on skin type, we will customise the solution used however typical chemicals used can be: * Glycolic Acid * Tri-chloroacetic Acid (TCA) * Salicylic Acid The percentage of solution will depend on skin type and will be determined on consultation.
Your aesthetician will do a brief consultation to determine the best formula to use in your peel.
This will then be applied to your face for a varying time, depending on the level that is suitable for you.
The peel will penetrates into the layers of the skin and target cells that can treat a number of skin concerns. Please note: preparation is required before some peels, we will discuss this with you prior to your appointment by way of consultation bookings.
Your skin may be sensitive and may look slightly red or discoloured for a few hours. It can be expected to have some flakiness and peeling in the days afterwards.
After Care
After a peel, it is important to avoid certain products that can irritate your skin, such as toners, astringents and exfoliants. We recommend using gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturisers, preferably Cerave or Cetaphil, to help soothe your skin.
You should avoid direct sunlight for 24-48 hours and use sun protection every day.
Avoid alcohol for 24-48 hours after.
Dryness, irritation, or swelling may occur for the first several days after the peel but try not to scrub at the skin. Breakouts or a mild lightening or darkening of the skin may occur within the first week post peel.

How many treatments will I need?
As our high performance peels can affect every person differently and be used to treat difference types of skin concerns, we cannot state how many treatments will be needed or recommended without consultation.
Due to the nature of skin peels, we highly suggest booking a free consultation to access whether this treatment is right for you or if an alternative treatment will be better suited.
How long until I see results?
It can take up to 7 days for your skin to stop peeling depending on the strength of the treatment. You should feel a smoother texture to your skin and improved complexion after the peeling has stopped.
