Chemical Peels

Clearing Away Active Acne – Chemical Peel


The best way to treat active acne is with the appropriate use of Chemical Peel combined with the Dermalux LEAD.

Providing your skin is suitable and not suffering from an impaired skin barrier function then this facial will eat away at congestion, speed up the desquamation process leaving your skin visibly clearer, brighter and calmer.

On the day, if your skin’s barrier is broken/impaired it may be more appropriate to drop down to a basic calming facial and proceed from there,   Please don’t be upset by this, progress is made when done correctly and safely rather than rapid quick fire facials that can cause more harm than good and long term damage.  Your long term healthy skin is my goal.

Why Chemical Peel?

A results driven treatment formulated and developed to produce outstanding results using AHA’s and BHA’s to reduce the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, acne, pigmentation and congestion.

The treatment gives a skin tingling experience which exfoliates to the deepest layers.  Skin will have never looked as clear, de-congested and bright.

What are the Features and benefits of the treatment?

A combination of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA’s) and Hydroxy Acids (BHA’s) provide an effective and pampering treatment suitable for all skin types to help improve imperfections related to ageing, sun damage, congestion and acne skins.

Glycolic Acid (AHA) will penetrate the skin and help to plump, smooth and refresh the complexion.

Salicylic Acid (BHA) provides a light surface exfoliation helping to reduce the appearance of blackheads, whiteheads and minimise pores.

You will see instant results from one treatment, although a course is recommended for specific skin conditions.

At your consultation we will discuss your desired outcomes.

Then, once upon the beauty bed, you can relax, unwind and drift off somewhere far far away as your face is double cleansed to ensure we start with a super clean surface.

A pre-peel solution is applied to your skin with the specific task of removing the hydro-lipidic film from the skin surface.  The active ingredient of glycolic acid contained in the treatment will penetrate deep down and clear the skin ready for the absorption of the active peel solution.

As the peel solution is applied salicylic acid will penetrate the pores and dissolve the bonds between the surface skin cells.  It has deep cleansing and exfoliating properties.  It can also reduce sebum secretion. Glycolic acid is said to be one of the most powerful and effective alpha hydroxy acids given its ability to retexturize, brighten, and refresh lacklustre skin.  Glycolic acid helps break down pre-clogging, dead skin cells that sit on the surface of the skin while diminishing the look of fine lines, wrinkles, discolouration – revealing a brighter and more youthful-looking complexion.   Calmosensine is derived from a peptide naturally present in the body.  It helps to desensitise and prevent irritation throughout the treatment.

Next the post peel gel containing soyenna known to have trace elements that contribute to fix water at the surface fo the skin and to maintain a good hydration level in the superficial layers of the epidermis.  Allantoin improves the skin’s moisture retention, helps to minimise the appearance of ageing skin damage and is an effective anti-irritant.

As the chemical peel treatment time comes to an end it is gently washed away and replaced with a super skin softening mask continent arnica extract which is helpful for reducing general skin irritations, reducing skin flaking and restoring skin suppleness.Aloe vera has a calming and soothing effect on the skin.  Chamomile extract is an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-irritant as well as having skin calming properties.

Your treatment will then be finished off with a LED light therapy treatment and a massage of the face and neck with icey globes to add that luxurious Hollywood feel to a fabulously relaxing results driven facial.  If you want the best value for money results driven facial, this is the one for you.
