What does the treatment involve?
After an initial consultation the treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, however if combined with Medical Microdermabrasion the treatment will last an hour. Your practitioner will cleanse and prepare your skin then cover your eyes with eye shields. The peel is painted on and activated with cold wet gauze placed over your face. There is generally minimal discomfort with a tingly feeling whilst the peel is working. The peel is left in place for up to 10 minutes then removed and serum, moisturiser and sun protection applied. If the peel is combined with microdermabrasion, this will be carried out when the peel is removed. After treatment the skin may feel warm, look rosy and may feel slightly dry for the first day however it will feel softer, smoother and appear brighter. Sunscreen must be worn for at least 4 days post peel. A skin care regime will be prescribed by your practitioner which will enhance the overall results. A recommended course of six peels 1-2 weeks apart is advised with 4-6 weekly maintenance treatments.
