The Problem

As we age the skin cell turnover slows down and the skin starts to look dull and lack lustre compared to having that youthful glow. As we age there is also pigmentation or age spots that flaw the skin. Blocked pores give rise to black heads and acne.

Treatment

Chemical peels rejuvenate the skin and leave your complexion luminous. A peel is a perfect treatment to have to help kick-start rejuvenation in your skin. It is also used for pigmentation and also to unblock pores, reduce sebum production and acne break outs.

How does a Chemical Peel work?

Many clients are frightened of chemical peels having seen the very deep ones carried out on some of the popular TV programs. At Radiance MediSpa we use the latest ZO and SkinCeuticals peels that ‘achieve the peel’ at the time and give little to no peeling after the treatment yet still get the results The solution applied helps to remove the damaged skin cells via a chemical reaction. The skin is first cleansed then a preparatory solution is applied before the peel itself. The peel is left on the skin for 2-10 minutes depending on the type of peel.

The Results

Our latest Hollywood non-peel peel can be used even on the day of a special event and leaves the skin bright, refreshed and beautifully smooth. Make up can be applied straight afterwards. Deeper peels will cause some skin shedding like mild ‘skin dandruff’ whilst the very deep ones cause obvious peeling.

The Downtime

This depends on the depth of peel but with most of our peels there is no downtime. Sunscreen should be used after a peel as we would advise every client to use.
