Skin Peels - Physician Strength
A peel is a treatment designed to improve and enhance the skin. Its benefits are skin clarity, even skin tone, uniform colour and improved texture.
In many cases a peel eliminates the need for cosmetic foundation and can significantly help acne and acne-prone skin.
The treatment involves a simple 20 minute procedure which painlessly removes the micro-thin top layer of skin. It is this top layer which is a significant obstruction to having better skin because it clogs the pores. A simple home treatment programme is devised to achieve optimum results and to enhance and maintain the benefits achieved.
Home treatment programmes under medical supervision involve a tailor made skin regime specific for each skin condition using a specific range of products which can treat sun-damage, pigmentation, coarse textured and acne-prone skin.
A pre-treatment consultation enables Dr. Montero to assess your skin type and advise on the most effective skin treatment programme for you.
We use Rationale Skincare for our Peels. Our Peels use Alpha and Beta hydroxy acids which can be beneficial to sun damaged skin by helping gently exfoliate the outermost layers of rough, dry skin. Topical vitamins A, C & E can also assist in this condition. Over time, they improve skin softness, clarity and moisture levels. The peels are based on Alpha ( L-Lactic) and Beta Hydroxy acids ( Salicilic acid), Ascorbic Acid and TCA ( Tri-chloro acetic). For higher safety, to limit the penetration of the peels and therefore reduce the possibility of side effects, these peels are self neutralising, so only the most superficial layers of the skin are affected.
All treatments are preceded by a thorough consultation and skin assessment.
