FAQ’S
How is a skin peel performed?
After your initial complimentary skin assessment with one of our professional staff, a treatment plan will be tailored to your specific skin type and condition.
On the day of the skin peel, your makeup will be removed and you will be made comfortable on a treatment bed. Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed of dirt and oils and then the peel is brushed onto the skin and left to process. This processing time generally ranges from 3min – 10mins depending on skin tolerance and recovery time.The skin will feel prickly, tingly or even a burning sensation may be experienced. During this time a handheld fan can cool the skin and make the procedure more comfortable. Some peels require to be left on overnight before removal.
The peel is then usually neutralised to stop it’s chemical reaction, after which the discomfort settles and cooling and soothing moisturisers are applied. Our post care regimen always includes a zinc basedsunscreen, plus makeup can also be applied.
