What makes your peeling safe?

Some peelings and lasers can destroy cells in the deeper layers of the epidermis or even the dermis creating permanent scarring. With our peeling, any risks are removed by using special base ingredients which prevent the peeling process penetrating too deeply into the skin.

 

What is in your peeling?

Our peeling is based on resorcinol and salicylic acid compounded in a special non penetrating base.

​

Will my skin be perfect after one peeling?

No. Peeling is not a miracle method of completely reversing all types of skin damage. “You cannot make a calf’s skin out of old tanned leather”. It is however, the most reliable of dermatological treatments and offers outstanding results.  

 

How many peels can I have?

There is no limit to the number of peelings a skin will stand. Each peeling stimulates regrowth. Experience has shown that when two of our peelings are affected at 6 to 8 week intervals, this is when the cellular reproduction begun by the first peeling has still not finished by the time the second one is applied, and a markedly better result is obtained than one would have with just one peeling. Thereafter, one annual peeling is recommended..
 

What if I only want one peeling?

You can certainly have just one peeling and still achieve a marked improvement in your skin.  

 

Is the peeling painful?

For approximately 10 to 20 minutes, there is moderate stinging which is eased greatly by the use of a fan. This then gives way to a numb like feeling. There is no pain associated with the peeling thereafter.

​

How will I look during the peeling process?

Immediately after application, the skin will appear normal aside from redness which is like sunburn. After the application on the second day, the skin will darken and feel tight. On the 3rd to the 6th day, the skin becomes darker and feels very tight. The skin starts to peel around the nose, mouth and the corners of the eyes. For those who work and cannot afford to take time off, we make the applications on a Wednesday and Thursday so that the most unsightly days fall over the weekend.
