At Glow Cosmetique, we offer professional chemical peel services tailored to your individual skin needs. Our experienced skincare professionals will conduct a thorough assessment of your skin type and concerns to create a personalised treatment plan. Depending on your specific goals, we may recommend different types of chemical peels, such as light chemical peels, medium chemical peels, or deep chemical peels. These treatments are designed to address various skin issues and can produce noticeable results in as few as one to two sessions. We also provide comprehensive guidance on pre- and post-treatment care to ensure your skin remains healthy and radiant long term.
A chemical peel is a dermatological procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process encourages the growth of new, healthier skin.
The chemical solution used in peels can vary in strength and composition, including glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA). It works by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more easily and stimulating the production of new skin cells.
Yes, chemical peels are generally safe when performed by qualified professionals. However, it’s important to do a thorough consultation to determine which type is best for your skin type and concerns. Patients with a history of cold sores may need antiviral medication to prevent outbreaks.
The type of chemical peel (light, medium, or deep) will depend on your skin type and the specific concerns you wish to address. Your skincare professional will assist you in making the best choice.
Chemical peels can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimise acne and scarring, and even out skin tone, contributing to a youthful and radiant complexion.
The duration of a chemical peel session typically ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the type of peel and the area being treated.
After the procedure, you may experience redness, peeling, or sensitivity in treated areas. The extent of these side effects will depend on the type of peel used. Using a cool compress can help alleviate discomfort.
Downtime varies depending on the type of peel. Light chemical peels usually require minimal downtime, while medium to deep chemical peels may require more recovery time with peeling and redness.
It’s recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after the treatment to allow your skin to heal properly. Always follow your professional’s aftercare instructions.
