Will the peel get rid of pigmentation marks?
Pigmentation marks caused by sun damage can be removed or reduced by skin peels. However there is a small risk that the skin peel could cause pigmentation marks to the skin. Dark skins, such as Asian and Black skins are more prone to this damage; they still can be treated with preparation to the skin before the peel. Your skin practitioner will be able to advise on the appropriate peel.

Are the peels good for scarring?
Yes, skin peels are an ideal treatment for the reduction of scarring. They can be especially effective against acne scarring, however it may take more than one peel to achieve the optimum results.

Will I be able to go out in the sun after a peel?
YoYour skin will be more susceptible to sun damage up to 4 weeks after the treatment as the peels resurface the skin. We recommend a sun protection cream of at least SPF 25 is worn permanently to reduce the effects of sun damage and ageing. If travelling to a hot climate we recommend a skin peel is done on return of the journey.

Can I have a peel at my first appointment?
In order to achieve the maximum results the skin needs to undergo preparation before the treatment. This can be carried out at home, through the use of our home care products, for a minimum of two weeks before the peel.
