CHEMICAL PEELS

The chemical peel is one of the oldest cosmetic procedures in the world. Today chemical peels are among the most popular & widely recognised methods of improving the health and appearance of skin by removing dead skin cells & encouraging new ones to grow. Chemical peel depth can range from very superficial to deep, although several light depth peels can often achieve similar results to one deeper peel treatment, with less risk & shorter recovery time.

Cliniccare - Beauty Salon, Hailsham, East Sussex

CLINICCARE superficial peels contain a mixture of Gycolic, Lactic & Salicylic Acids to remove the upper layer of the epidermis encouraging regeneration and rejuvenation of new skin cells. The result is the improved clinical appearance of skin with fewer fine lines, a brighter complexion, improved skin tone and a more youthful appearance. The CLINICCARE peels come in 3 targeted ranges for specific skin indications & are extremely well tolerated with minimum side effects.

Note: A patch test should be carried out for patients with Fitzpatrick skin types 5 and above.

Note:

- Never wear make-up on the day of your treatment.

- Do not use topical agents that may increase the sensitivity of your skin such as retinoids, exfoliants, topical antibiotics or hydroxy acids 5-7 day prior to the treatment.

- Avoid IPL/Laser procedure for at least 2 weeks prior to the service.

- No waxing, depilatory creams or electrolysis to the area being treated for 5 days prior to the treatment.

- Avoid unprotected sun exposure or sunburn at least 1 week before treatment.

- Results & the response to treatment varies from person to person, but CLINICCARE peels do a death cremation which means they do not shed the skin, they do an invisible shed of the skin in most cases.

- Reaction from treatment include: skin redness & flushing, peeling, dryness, irritation, tightness, itching, tenderness, accentuated lines & wrinkles due to dryness, stinging and swelling.

- Effects will usually typically resolve within hours & many people are able to return to their normal activities the same or next day. Some people may react differently and may experience these reactions for longer. However, these reactions are temporary and typically resolve within 3-7 days as the skin returns to normal.

- There is a small risk of side effects causing the skin to turn very red, blister, swell, peel and later scab & crust. In severe cases infection and ulceration may result, although this is not expected to occur due to the sterility of the procedure and the minimally invasive nature of the peel.

- There is a small risk that hyperpigmentation of the skin can occur after the procedure, although this is not normally expected due to the superficial type of peel used. Failure of follow the post treatment advice can increase this risk.

​- It can be used as a one-off treatment. Usually a course of 4-6 treatments in 1-4 weeks intervals are recommended with maintenance treatments every 6-8 months.

- Treatment intervals for peels vary from 1 week to 4 weeks during a series of 4 to 6 treatments and the interval is determined by the treatment intensity and sensitivity of the patient's skin. Very superficial peels are commonly performed at the beginning of a series and treatment intervals are usually every 1-2 weeks, as the skin recovers rapidly from these treatments. More intense superficial peels are associated with a greater degree of exfoliation and require more time for epithelial regeneration.

- GLOW peel intervals:

Skin with mild hyperpigmentation | 4 treatments: 1 every 1-2 weeks. Wait 6 weeks, repeat if necessary.

Skin with medium to severe hyperpigmentation | 4-6 treatments: 1 every 2-3 weeks. Wait 6-8 weeks, repeat if necessary

Skin with severe hyperpigmentation | 6 treatments: 1 every 2-4 weeks. Wait 8 weeks, repeat if necessary.

- PURE peel intervals:

Skin with mild acne or oily skin or sensitive skin | 4 treatments: 1 every 1-2 weeks. Wait 6 weeks, repeat if necessary.

Skin with medium to severe acne problems | 4-6 treatments: 1 every 2-3 weeks. Wait 6-8 weeks, repeat if necessary.

Skin with severe acne problems | 6 treatments: 1 every 2-4 weeks. Wait 8 weeks, repeat if necessary.

- REFRESH peel intervals:

Skin with mild fine lines, laxity | 4 treatments: 1 every 1-2 weeks. Wait 6 weeks, repeat if necessary.

Skin with medium to severe sun damage and/or ageing | 4-6 treatments: 1 every 2-3 weeks. Wait 6-8 weeks, repeat if necessary.
