Skin Peels

During a clinical skin peel, you may experience different sensations depending on the type and strength of the peel. Generally, you may feel a mild tingling or warmth on the skin as the peel is applied. Some individuals may also experience a slight stinging or tightening sensation. These sensations are usually temporary and subside as the peel is neutralised or removed.

Before the peel treatment, you will be asked to remove your make-up or moisturisers and, in some cases, you may be asked to shave the area to be treated.

The number of clinical skin peel treatments needed can vary depending on various factors, including your skin condition, desired outcome, and the type of peel being used. In general, a series of multiple treatments is often recommended to achieve optimal results.

For mild concerns or maintenance purposes, a series of 3 to 4 treatments may be sufficient. These treatments are typically spaced a few weeks apart to allow for proper healing and skin rejuvenation between sessions.

For more significant skin concerns such as deep wrinkles, acne scars, or hyperpigmentation, a series of 6 or more treatments may be recommended. These treatments are usually scheduled at regular intervals, again allowing adequate time for skin recovery and improvement with each session.

It’s important to note that each individual’s response to clinical skin peels can vary, and the exact number of treatments needed will be determined during your consultation.

While clinical skin peels are generally safe and well-tolerated, they can cause some temporary side effects. These side effects can vary depending on the type and depth of the peel, as well as individual factors. It’s important to discuss the potential side effects with your skincare professional before undergoing a clinical skin peel.

Some common side effects may include:

• Redness: After a skin peel, you may experience temporary redness or flushing of the treated area. This is a normal reaction and typically resolves within a few hours to a few days, depending on the intensity of the peel.
• Peeling or Flaking: Depending on the depth of the peel, you may notice some peeling or flaking of the skin. This is part of the natural exfoliation process and can last for several days to a week. It’s important to avoid picking or forcefully removing any peeling skin to prevent complications.
• Dryness or Tightness: Your skin may feel dry or tight after a peel. This is a common side effect and can be managed with moisturisers or recommended skincare products.
• Sensitivity: Your skin may become more sensitive to sun exposure following a peel. It’s crucial to protect your skin with sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure during the healing process.
