Chemical Peels

Glycolic acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. This peel is beneficial for smoothing out rough texture, evening out skin tone, exfoliating dead skin cells. Generally, there is little to no downtime involved with this peel.

Lactic acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from sour milk. Lactic acid has a natural moisturising effect on the skin, attracting water molecules, stimulating ceramide synthesis and modulating the skins’ barrier function. Best suited for sensitive/dry skin types.  There is absolutely no downtime involved with this peel. It is also recommended for delicate areas such as the neck & décolletage.

Salicylic acid is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) derived from willow bark. It has powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. It enables the breakdown of sebum and encourages superficial skin resurfacing without producing inflammation. Salicylic acid penetrates deeper than other acids, allowing for it to reduce inflammatory acne and control oil secretion. Salicylic acid peels are not recommended for people with aspirin allergies or sensitivity. Generally, there is little to no downtime involved with this peel.

The Modified Jessner’s peel is a broad-spectrum peel, made up of three different acids; salicylic acid, lactic acid and citric acid.  Salicylic acid is derived from willow bark; lactic acid is derived from sour milk, and citric acid is derived from citrus fruits. Suitable candidates for this combination peel would be individuals suffering from acne, congestion and oily skin. Due to the strength of this peel, there may be a short downtime (slight shedding) associated with it.

Cosmedix Pomegranate Peel is an antioxidant resurfacing treatment that contains 15% L-Lactic Acid plus fruit enzymes and Pomegranate Seed Oil. It’s designed to gently exfoliate away surface skin cells and pore-clogging impurities, while infusing the skin with antioxidants including Resveratrol and Green Tea Extract.
