Skin peels
As we get older, our cellular regeneration slows down. This can cause the skin to appear dull, lifeless and unhealthy. Regular exfoliation can increase cellular proliferation and remove dull skin, resulting in a more youthful complexion.
How to chemical peels work?
Chemical peels when applied to the skin causes an increase in cellular turnover by speeding up the exfoliation process. The peel destroys layers of the skin so that that are eliminated over several days and the repair mechanism of the epidermis and dermis are stimulated. This is often seen as peeling or shedding of the skin for 7-10 days. PCA Skin peels are superficial and they target exfoliation of the epidermal layer only.
What can a peel do for my skin?
Chemical peels can be used for patients with acne, dry skin, oily skin and sensitive skin. There are many treatment options available so that each peel is tailored to your skin.
Peels can improve the following:
- Help reduce acne and inflammation in the skin
- Pigmentation/ Skin discoloration
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Brightens and evens skin tone
- More youthful and smoother skin
How often can I have a peel?
Chemical peels are recommended every 4-6 weeks with a minimum of 3 sessions to achieve optimum results. After a consultation, we will be able to recommend a treatment plan personalized to you.
N.B. Our prescription only retinol peels can only be provided by trained professionals and will only be prescribed after a consultation.
