Skin peels, also known as chemical peels, are treatments where a specialised solution is applied to the face to exfoliate the top layers of aged and damaged skin to reveal refreshed skin underneath.
There are three types of chemical peels:
- Light/Superficial Peels
Gently exfoliate the top epidermal layer of skin with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) or retinoid solutions to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, poor tone and texture
- Medium Peels
Uses trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or Jessner’s solution (salicylic acid, lactic acid and resorcinol) to reach the dermal (middle) layers and treat more specific ageing concerns and skin conditions
- Deep Peels
Reaches the reticular dermis (the deepest layer of your skin) using phenol, which can significantly improve very aged and damaged skin but comes with much more severe side effects for a longer period of time
Here at Oatlands Aesthetics, we offer light/superficial and medium-depth chemical peels from the ZO Skin Health and DermaQuest ranges. Our skin peel collection allows us to treat many key concerns with minimal risk and discomfort, all without compromising on results.
