SKIN PEELS
If you're tired of dull skin, sun damage, or visible imperfections on your face, look no further than a chemical peel. This non-surgical solution can work wonders for your complexion, promoting skin regeneration and the growth of fresh, healthy skin. Say hello to a smoother, more radiant complexion.
What Can a Skin Peel Do for You?
Skin peels address a wide range of skin concerns without the need for surgery. They can effectively treat issues like acne scars, sun damage, wrinkles, crow's feet, and even moderate sagging. This cosmetic procedure involves applying chemical solutions to the skin, which exfoliates and removes the outer layers of dead skin cells.
Variety to Suit Your Needs:
Skin peels come in different types, categorised by their depth of penetration and the strength of the chemical solution used. We will select the peel that is perfect for your unique skin so you can start your journey towards healthier, glowing skin.
A single session will produce some great results to the skin including improved skin tone, smoother skin texture, and much more! However, if you have skin concerns such as sun damage, acne scarring or deeper wrinkles, more sessions may be needed to achieve your desired results.
