Skinceuticals Gel Peels

What is a Light Chemical Peel?

Light chemical peels intensively exfoliate to accelerate the cell renewal process, stimulate collagen synthesis, and improve elastin fibres in the dermis, revealing a more youthful and radiant complexion. This safe, non-invasive procedure delivers results, yet requires no downtime. SkinCeuticals Professional Gel Peels are designed to gradually improve the appearance and texture of your skin without the irritation or disruption of lifestyle that can accompany some other peels.

What Results Can I Expect?

SkinCeuticals Gel Peels can help to soften fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin tone and texture, reduce symptoms of oiliness and diminish the appearance of skin blemishes, providing a generally healthy and refreshed look.

What Can I Expect During and After the Peel?

The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes. There may be a slight stinging or burning sensation during the few minutes it takes for peel to set, with slight redness, mild sensitivity and flaking for a few days afterwards. The skin will usually feel tighter, smoother and softer as a result of the treatment.

How Many treatments will I Need?

At least six treatments are generally required to achieve maximum benefit although of course there may be considerable variation between individuals in response to treatment.

How Do I Take Care of my Skin Between and After Peels?

Excessive heat and sun exposure, and strenuous exercise should be avoided for a couple of days after the peel, and a SkinCeuticals sunscreen preferably be used. You will be advised on all these matters however by the Aesthetic Nurse who is undertaking your treatment.

What are the Risks of a Light Peel?

Complications are very rare but may include headache, nausea, dizziness, and skin crusting.

How Much Does it Cost?

A single treatment is £120 but a course of six treatments, recommended at approximately two-weekly intervals, is £540.
