Which Chemical Peel Is Right For Me?

It’s no secret, life can quickly catch up with you and you can often tell by how your skin looks. It may appear duller, less vibrant, and lack vitality. A chemical peel is a great, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that can give you a youthful-looking glow by helping treat your ageing, damaged, discoloured and acne prone skin. The treatment works by exfoliating the top layers of your skin to reveal a clear and brighter looking complexion underneath. As one of the oldest and most popular go-to procedures for patients, a chemical peel can make you look significantly refreshed and rejuvenated after just one session.

There are many different types of chemical peels on the market, which all target specific skin insecurities. Whether you’re looking to target hyperpigmentation, reduce breakouts, or eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, there’s a chemical peel that will best suit your skin type and desired results.

For Sensitive Skin

Chemical peels come in a variety of different strengths, with some penetrating deeper into the skin’s layers than others. If you have a sensitive skin type, your best bet is to go for a mild peel to help prevent any unwanted reactions. The Mandelic Peel is a great option and known for being gentler than other popular treatments such as glycolic peels. While this treatment isn’t as strong as others, it still has a number of benefits such as helping to reduce breakouts, repair sun damaged skin and reverse signs of ageing.

For Ageing Skin

Who wouldn’t like to turn back time? Chemical peels are especially popular amongst those looking to restore their youthful glow. There are a number of peels that can help with this including Jessner’s Peel, which combines a mixture of lactic acid, salicylic acid and Resorcinol for incredible anti-ageing benefits.

Another option is the TCA Peel which works by exfoliating the top layers of your skin and causing the old, dead skin to dry and peel off days following the treatment. Before you know it, your results will reveal refreshed, clear and even-toned skin that will be the envy of the town!

If you really want to shed those years off your face, the MD Peel Microdermabrasion will take your anti-ageing efforts to a whole new level. Using a handheld device with a crystal tip, this procedure removes all the dead skin cells on your face while simultaneously stimulating collagen regeneration. This entire process helps reduce those fine lines and wrinkles, helping you look and feel years younger!

For Acne Prone Skin

Chemical peels are an effective way to manage pesky breakouts. The Retinol Peel will not only treat the acne currently present on your skin but also help prevent further breakouts from happening. The retinol exfoliates the skin by unclogging pores and removes dead skin cells from the surface, which encourages your skin to heal itself. This peel is also great if you’re looking to simultaneously improve skin pigmentation and uneven skin tone.

The Obagi Blue Peel is another great way to tackle acne and blemishes as well as mild scarring. Using the active ingredient Trichloracetic Acid, this peel is truly unique in that the depth of the peel can be controlled and customized based on your skincare concerns.
