Chemical peels are a great way to reset the skin and are available in different strengths. They can improve skin texture, treat acne and reduce pigmentation. There are a variety of different peels available and Dr Selina will be able to recommend a suitable one for you.
Chemical peels contain an acid based solution, combined with vitamins, anti-ageing extracts and glutathione. These cause the outer layer of the skin to shed and reveal brighter smoother skin below.
Chemical peels can help those with pigmentation, poor skin texture, acne scarring, acne and for those who want smoother skin.
The most popular peel at Dr Selina Clinics is The Perfect Peel. This takes approximately 15 minutes to apply, with the peeling process starting from day 3 and being complete by day 7 after application.
The number of sessions required varies depending on individual needs and the type of peel used.
Generally, a course of 3 peels are recommended, spread apart by 4 weeks.
A lighter peel can improve the appearance of various skin issues, including uneven skin tone, mild to moderate photo damage, fine lines, and superficial blemishes. It helps in achieving a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Using stronger peels such as The Perfect Peel with a supplemental Super Booster can help treat acne scarring and deeper hyperpigmentation.
A downtime of approximately 7 days is to be expected with a deeper peel and 2 days with a lighter peel.
