Skin Peels

What is a skin peel? Skin peels are now used much more often today to rejuvenate and improve the texture of the surface of the skin. These days there are many levels of peels that you may do at home, in a beauty salon, or at a medical establishment, which is why it is sometimes confusing and difficult to fully understand. This is why at Lifestyle surgery we believe in a full consultation, understanding all of your concerns and prescribing the correct skin care and peel treatment for you.

In general terms a peel solution is applied to the skin creating an even and controlled shedding of several layers of the skin cells. This stimulates new collagen production, increased new skin cell formation and skin elasticity and so improves the hydration properties, therefore allowing the new skin to be seen. The new layer of skin is much more fresher, smoother and has an even tone appearance.

What is the procedure for a skin peel? The treatment procedure may take between 30-40 minutes and depending upon strength of the peel may be relatively painless. Certain peels do require you to prepare the skin for 2-3 weeks beforehand and a course of peels are generally more beneficial than one.

We always recommend and advise you of the protection properties and its importance in maintaining your results by the use of a SFP 30 sunscreen for at least 6 months to help prevent environmental and sun damage to your new smoother younger skin.
