Preparation
Treatment
When you and your skin are ready for a peel the area is cleansed thoroughly, the peel is applied and after acting it is removed. Post procedure spf must be worn.
Skin peels do feel itchy and may sting the skin on application. Ideally they are left on the skin for 5 minutes but you must tell your doctor if it feels too strong for you.
Pre procedure skincare specifically recommended for your skin type and with the peel in mind should be used for best results.
Skin Peels vary by the area of treatment given and the type of peel used to achieve the best results. We often get asked about the cost of treatment.
