Pelle Peels
Advanced Skin peels for fresher looking skin
The use of chemical peels to soften and improve the appearance of the
skin dates back over 3,500 years to the ancient Egyptians. Historians
describe the use of several different techniques, including the use of
animal oils, salt, and alabaster to smooth the skin. Egyptian women bathed
in sour milk, or rubbed fermented grape skins from the bottom of wine
barrels over their skin to enhance beauty.
Today, scientists have identified numerous forms of acid which can be
used to induce beneficial changes for our skin. Facial peels have grown
enormously in popularity over the past twenty-five years and now it can be a
very effective treatment when performed by an experienced practitioner.
How does it work?
The procedure known as chemical peeling involves the application of a
chemical solution to the surface of the skin to produce the careful removal
of its outer layers. The amount of skin removed will depend on the type of
chemical used, the strength of this product and how long it is left on the
skin.
No matter how deep the peel, your skin will re-grow and should heal
fully.
The treatment
We use the Dermaceutic chemical peels are a medical peel and can only be
carried out by a trained medical professional. They are not available in the
high street and should not be confused with very mild and gentle peels
available from beauty therapists.
They can be used to freshen up the
skin and can help to treat acne, oily skin, pigmentation, fine lines and
wrinkles, photodamage and ageing skin. They can be used on the face, the
neck, the chest, the body and the hands.
