Chemical peels and Skin care

If you are frustrated by buying expensive skin care products and having facials that promise a dramatic effect on your skin but don't deliver on results, then have a consultation and I will help you get the results you want to achieve by using medical grade skin care and peels that can be prescribed for you. Chemical peels are specific agents applied to the skin to strip away dead, surface skin cells to reveal fresh, plump skin. They stimulate new cell production, re structure deeper layers and even out skin tone revealing a fresher younger looking appearance.

Various different types of peels are prescribed dependant on your skin type and requirements - they can be performed to control acne, refresh and brighten the appearance, diminish fine wrinkles, treat sun damage and hyperpigmentation. Uneven skin tone is one of the major contributing factors to looking old and tired.

Following your consultation and detailed skin analysis, the application of a peel is relatively fast and simple. The procedure can cause mild discomfort: a fan is used to alleviate this and a topical anaesthetic or painkillers may be used prior to the peel, dependant on the depth of the peel. The treatment can take about 10 - 20 minutes, dependant on the type of peel that you have, but allow for more time for consultation and after care advice. After your initial consultation skin products will be prescribed and a regime of peels advised. The depth of peel and down time post treatment will be discussed on consultation. You will need to continue with your prescribed skin care to achieve optimal results and may need to prep the skin prior to a peel. 

Obagi Blue Peel

The Obagi Blue Peel procedure takes less than an hour and does not typically require sedation. Your skin professional will apply the Blue Peel typically to your face and neck. A mild burning sensation will occur that generally lasts only a few minutes. Then you may experience a bluish tint to your skin that usually washes off in 12 to 24 hours. Your skin professional will advise you on how many peels are needed to give you the desired result.

Depending on the strength and depth following the procedure, you will experience light swelling. Within two to three days, your skin will begin to peel. This peeling continues over the next several days. By the seventh to tenth day, your skin should be healed. Once your skin has completely recovered and is finished peeling, you will notice a visible improvement in your complexion. Your skin's appearance should continue to improve for the next four to six weeks, becoming firmer, clearer, smoother, healthier and more youthful looking. You will need to be committed to using the Obagi Nu Derm range for at least 6 weeks prior to an Obagi peel and afterwards to ensure optimum effects.

Endocare

Smoother, Brighter, Tighter

Endocare’s Tensage range targets the effects of ageing deep within the skin to give you outstanding visible and physical results in rejuvenation. The key ingredient is Endocare’s SCA Biorepair Technology, a clinically proven complex of snail-derived growth factors, glycosaminoclycans and anti-oxidants produced through a patented technological process. When applied daily Endocare products have been clinically proven to significantly:

  • Reduce lines and wrinkles

  • Increase elasticity and tightness

  • Enhance luminosity

As your skin ages the fibroblasts in your dermis become less efficient, producing less collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. This reduces the elasticity, firmness and smoothness of your skin, which results in fine lines and wrinkles. The blood supply to your skin can also become less efficient, which results in it appearing less vibrant.

The Endocare® Tensage™ range of medigrade cosmetics is scientifically formulated to physically and visibly rejuvenate ageing skin. Every Endocare® Tensage™ product uses a percentage formulation of SCA Biorepair Technology combined with the Tensderm™ phytoestrogen and calcium firming complex. The effects of these are boosted with additional evidence-based skin-loving ingredients to provide a highly effective, clinically proven anti-ageing skin rejuvenating product range. Endocare® Tensage™ products use varying strengths and formulations, such as hyaluronic acid and Hexapeptides, to moisturise and brighten your skin.
