We would recommend a minimum of three treatments.

You skin will instantly feel tighter and lifted. You may experience some tenderness on the treated area and some clients experience some mild flaking the up to seven days after the treatment. This is due to cell renewal and this is a good sign and shows the treatment is working. If you don’t experience flaking it just shows your skin is already healthy so you will see the effects of the peel quicker, which will reveal glowing and revived skin.

For 24 hours after your treatment you should avoid exposing your skin to excessive heat such as saunas, steam rooms, hot showers and exercise. It is also really important you keep your skin hydrated after treatment. Your practitioner will advise you which moisturising products to use at home.

The active ingredients in peels means that you will notice results after a single treatment. For optimal results, however, we recommend a course of six treatments: one treatment every two weeks. However, this all depends on the nature of skin concern that you’re experiencing.

Q: How much recovery time is there after treatments?
A: There are no long-term damaging effects to the skin from resurfacer treatments; however, you may experience some redness, dryness, flaking and peeling. Your practitioner will explain any potential recovery time with you before you start your treatment. They’ll also discuss the possibility of working up to stronger peels if you want to increase them gradually. Using the recommended preparatory products before treatment will also help minimise the dryness/peeling as they ensure your skin is ready and safe before treatment.

Q: Does this treatment hurt?
A: The sensation of skin peels varies from person to person. This is due to skin tolerance, skin condition, the severity of a skin complaint and the strength of the peel. The most common sensations experienced during skin peels are tingling, warmth and tightness. These are positive feelings to notice during your treatment, as they all mean the active ingredients are penetrating the lower layers of the skin and are getting to work effectively in those lower layers.

Q: How regularly do I need to have treatment?
A: The active ingredients in skin peels mean that you will notice an instant brightening effect after a single treatment. For optimal results, we recommend a course of skin peels. Treatment intervals will depend on the strength of the peel, however your practitioner will advise you on the correct plan to ensure maximum results and get the best possible outcome for your skin.

Q: What happens during the treatment?
A: A skin peel starts with scanning your skin under a UV lamp and assessing your overall skin condition. This allows your practitioner to highlight any areas for improvement i.e. dehydration, sun damage, bacteria, oil production and congestion.

Your skin will then be cleansed, and a solution applied to prepare your skin for the peel’s ingredients, so the active ingredients can penetrate your lower skin layers effectively. The skin peel for your specific concern is then applied. The final steps include aftercare products being applied, such as serums and an SPF to protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays. Skin Resurfacer treatments can take up to 30 minutes.
