What are Skin Peels?

Skin peels are cosmetic treatments that use specific solutions to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, these peels reveal fresher, healthier skin underneath. They are effective in treating various skin concerns, including acne, pigmentation, and fine lines.

How do Skin Peels Work?

Superficial peels: These gentle peels are designed to exfoliate the outermost layer of skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing a brighter, more radiant complexion. Ideal for addressing issues such as dullness, uneven skin tone, and minor texture irregularities, superficial peels are suitable for all skin types and require minimal downtime.

Medium depth peels: these penetrate more deeply into the skin, effectively targeting more significant concerns like deeper pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scars. These peels typically require a longer recovery time, as they promote more extensive rejuvenation.

When should you consider Skin Peels?

  • Acne: Effective in treating active acne and reducing the appearance of acne scars.
  • Hyperpigmentation: Help to lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.
  • Fine Lines: Reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve overall skin texture.

What are the benefits of Skin Peels?

  • Improves skin texture and tone, promoting a youthful appearance.
  • Reduces acne and pigmentation, providing clearer skin.
  • Stimulates collagen production for long-term skin health.
  • Minimal downtime, with many patients able to resume normal activities shortly after.
  • What are the risks of Skin Peels?

    Potential side effects can include redness, peeling, and sensitivity in the treated areas. Dr Ghadiri will go through aftercare instructions with you to ensure that the risk of these is minimised.

    How long do Skin Peel results take to show and how long do they last?

    Results typically develop within a week as the skin heals and renews. Effects can last several weeks to months, and a series of peels may be recommended for optimal results, typically spaced every four to six weeks.

    What are the alternatives to Skin Peels?

    Alternatives include microneedling and laser treatments, each with unique benefits. Dr Ghadiri will help determine the best treatment for your needs.
