Chemical Peels

Service Description

Chemical peel is a form of treatment that uses chemical solutions to correct facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. The damaged outer layers of skin on the face is removed to improve and smooth the skin’s texture. Chemical peel is most commonly performed for cosmetic reasons. However, chemical peel may also help remove pre-cancerous skin growths, soften acne facial scars and even control acne. The most common types of chemical solutions used for chemical peels are: Alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), such as glycolic, lactic, or fruit acids, are the mildest of the peel formulas and produce light peels. AHA peels may be used to treat fine wrinkling, areas of dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne. Salicylic Acid (a natural substance derived from the bark of certain trees) is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that can be very effective in a chemical peel. It works on the deeper layers of the skin, penetrating as far as the Stratum Germinativum (the deepest layer of the epidermis, from which new skin cells are constantly being generated). Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) can be used in many concentrations, but is most commonly used for medium-depth peeling. Fine surface wrinkles, superficial blemishes and pigment problems are commonly treated with TCA. Chemical peel is sometimes performed at the same time as facelift surgery.

Cancellation Policy

To avoid incurring a fee and so that we can have time to fit another patient into your cancelled appointment slot, we require cancellations to be made more than 2 working days before the appointment. Cancellations which are made 48 hours (2 working days) or less before a consultation/treatment will incur a fee. We reserve the right to refuse any further appointments for patients that have 3 Non Attendance of appointments. Late Arrival Policy We run a tight appointment schedule and do our best to run on time. We also understand that life isn’t perfect. If a patient is running late, then we will do our best to fit them in. If they are more than 15 minutes late and if the next patient has arrived, we will see the next patient, and then try and fit the late patient in after. If a patient is running so late that they have missed their entire appointment and it is the next person’s appointment, we will see the next appointment. We will attempt to still fit the patient in later in the day, but it might require some waiting time on that day, or it might not be possible and the late patient will have to be rescheduled. Thank you for your cooperation.
