Peels
Glycolic Acid Peels
• This peel is perfect for perking up rough, dull or mildly sun damaged skin
• Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxyl acid derived from sugar cane
• It works via subtle exfoliation and stimulation of skin turn over
• The peel takes about 20 minutes and is repeated 4 to 6 times a few weeks apart
• There can be mild stinging during the procedure and some short lived mild redness. Post treatment peeling is uncommon
Salicylic Acid Peels
• Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxyl acid, derived from the bark of the willow tree
• It has a high affinity for oils, making it particularly helpful in acne patients, especially if blackheads are a problem
• It is also helpful in freshening up dull or mildly sun damaged skin
• The peel takes about 20 minutes and is repeated 4 to 6 times a few weeks apart
• There can be mild stinging during the procedure and some short lived mild redness. Fine peeling can occasionally occur a few days later
Vitalize Peel
• Ideal to restore the glow to sun damaged, dull post summer skin
• It uses a combination of lactic acid, resorcinol and salicylic acid
• The cherry on the cake is the added application of a retinoic solution to maximize the extent and depth of improvement
• This peel is repeated 3 times about 3 to 4 weeks apart
• Some very light flaking can occur at day 3 or 4
