Clinical Peel Treatments

Chemical peels offer unparalleled transformative abilities and are highly valuable in achieving a brighter and smoother appearance without invasive procedures. With a range of applications and the ability to address various conditions, these peels can reveal a flawless complexion hidden beneath the surface of your skin. Allow us to demonstrate how you can uncover this hidden beauty.

Rather than selecting from a menu of facials, my treatments are all bespoke. Each consultation is highly interactive and tailored to your skincare concerns at that time – so you’ll never have the exact same facial twice. Our facials are designed to improve your overall skin health, providing a more youthful, radiant glow.

Skinbetter Science AlphaRet Skin Peel

The AlphaRet Professional Peel is a 3-step peel system that has been shown to improve overall skin tone and texture for those with mild photo-damage, early signs of aging, or blemishes and pigmentation. A blend of Lactic, Glycolic, and Salicylic Acids changes the texture of the skin to enhance the action of patented AlphaRet Technology (a patented retinoids) for optimal results. This peel has been designed to accelerate the natural process of exfoliation, reduce visual signs of ageing and sun damage, improve moisture retention and increase hydration levels in the skin.

With little to no downtime, a course of 3 treatments is recommended, 4 weeks apart.

Aftercare

Generally, non-comedogenic (non-pore clogging) makeup may be applied after each treatment.

Avoid exercise (sweating) for at least a few hours after each peel treatment.

Avoid direct sun exposure; wear protective clothing and use a mineral sunscreen (containing titanium oxide and/or zinc oxide) with an SPF 30 or higher daily.

Do not use a retinoid- or retinol- containing products such as Tretinoin, AlphaRet Overnight Cream, or other Vitamin A derivatives for 5 days after treatment, unless othertherwise directed by your healthcare professional.

Do not use other potentially irritating ingredients such as harsh exfoliating products that contain alpha hydroxy or beta hydroxy acids for 5 days after treatment, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare professional.

If irritation occurs, stop or do not resume use of products until the skin has normalized.

Facial hair should not be waxed for 48 hours after a treatment. You may resume facial shaving the day after each peel treatment or when the skin has normalized.

Avoid the use of heat sources such as steam, saunas, and professional or home hairdryers for 8 hours following a peel treatment.

Lactic Acid Cool Peel

This revolutionary approach to peeling from Environ Skincare achieves incredible results without damaging the skin. Low strength lactic acid is used to reduce the skin’s PH and trigger the release of growth factors, which creates tighter, smoother skin. It destroys bacteria, boosts hydration and removes the build-up of dead skin cells, helping to decongest the surface and smooth texture. The Cool Peel is ideal for clients with lines and wrinkles, rough or problem skin, sun damage and Rosacea.

BioRePeel

BioRePeelCl3, a 35% TCA peel made in Italy.

This professional-grade peel minimizes skin shedding, letting you maintain your routine. BioRePeel improves texture, addresses imperfections, and speeds up cell turnover. By stimulating collagen and elastin, it offers immediate and lasting results. Unlike traditional TCA peels, it targets root issues for longer-lasting effects. Suitable for all skin types, it’s not photosensitive and can be used year-round. Its multitasking blend of active ingredients rejuvenates skin and addresses fine lines, wrinkles, acne/scarring, and pigmentation.

Unique Benefits of BioRePeel

Unlike traditional peels that rely on acid components for peeling, BioRePeel uses a unique blend of active ingredients crucial for skin rejuvenation. These include:

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for improving skin texture and appearance.
Alpha, beta, and poly hydroxy acids for combating acne and brightening skin.
Vitamins, amino acids, and GABA for reducing lines, wrinkles, and countering aging effects from UV radiation and pollution.

BioRePeel prevents fine lines, wrinkles, and other aging symptoms. It stimulates fibroblasts, increases cell turnover, and boosts collagen production for long-lasting effects.

Where areas can BioRePeel Treat?

Chest (décolletage): Like the neck, the chest can also show signs of sun damage and ageing. BioRePeelCl3 can help to rejuvenate the skin in this area.
Back: The treatment can be used to address concerns such as acne and acne scarring on the back.
Hands: Hands often show signs of ageing and sun damage before other areas of the body. BioRePeelCl3 can help to improve the appearance of the skin on the hands.

Pre-Treatment

With this new peel, it is not necessary to “Get your Skin Ready” and prep your skin. Although, better results and less downtime are seen on a client who has a good thorough, consistent skin care routine, and already uses AHA’s or Retinol. Before your treatment, however, this needs to be stopped 7 days prior and 7 days post peel.
But, to maximise the benefits of the treatments and avoid unwanted irritation and side effects, follow the pre-treatment advice below to prepare your skin beforehand.

Keep your skin hydrated before and after treatment
Do not consume alcohol 24 hours before your appointment
Do not use exfoliating products and retinol/retinoids for 7 days prior to treatment
Do not use Retin-A or active skin applications for 7 days prior to treatment
Do not use the self-tanning agents and avoid UV exposure for 14 days prior to treatment
Avoid waxing, bleaching or hair removal for 14 days prior to treatment
If you are taking a blood thinner, aspirin or any other medication

Aftercare

The treated area of skin may feel slightly tender and appear red and swollen afterwards. You may occasionally experience skin peeling and appearances may be like mild sunburn. These effects will resolve naturally and should be much improved after 48 hours but may take longer to settle. You may experience some minor bruising which may take 1-2 weeks to resolve in some cases.
Avoid any perfumes, fake tan, or other harsh chemicals for 72 hours after treatment.
Avoid any makeup for 24 hours after treatment as this can increase the risk of infection.
Avoid rubbing or picking the treated area.
Avoid any skin exfoliation for 7 days following treatment.
It is important to use a regular moisturising cream around two to three times a day on the treated area. Use more regularly if you feel the skin dry or peeling.
Avoid any products that contain alpha hydroxy acids, retinol, and glycolic acid for at least 7 days after treatment.
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, sunbeds, and exposure to heat for 72 hours after treatment. These can cause sweating which can irritate the delicate skin and slow down your ability to heal quickly.
Avoid swimming for 72 hours after treatment.
Avoid any excess alcohol or caffeine for 48 hours after treatment.
Wear SPF 30 or greater sunscreen for at least 2 weeks following treatment as your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight afterwards.
Avoid any further cosmetic treatments e.g., Botox or dermal filler for 2 weeks following treatment, or ask your practitioner for advice.
Avoid any hair removal treatments such as waxing for 2 weeks after treatment or until the initial redness and swelling has resolved.
You must seek medical attention and contact your practitioner if you experience any signs or symptoms of infection after treatment. Infection can present as hot, red shiny skin, there may be pus formation and you may have a fever or feel generally unwell.
You must contact us as soon as possible if you notice any other unwanted side effects.
