What is an Acne Peel?

An acne peel (Otherwise known as a chemical peel for acne,) is an in depth treatment targeting the source of your acne. Formulated with a chemical solution, it'll remove the top layers of the skin.

This can help boost the health of your complexion. Which is achieved through removing acne, scarring, and an unbalanced skin tone. Once this process is complete, minimal recovery time is needed to see results.

Acne peels prove to be a popular choice among individuals. This is because of its many advantages provided, in comparison with traditional acne methods. It's process is designed to potentially provide fast results.

See why some may opt for this peel:

• Preventing Breakouts: If you're experiencing recurring acne, this can keep you at ease. It keeps pores clear which reduces the chances of future breakouts.

Types of Chemical Peels for Acne Scars

We understand that everyone has different skin goals. Which is why we offer varying degrees of chemical peel treatments. All of which are designed to address a range of different needs and wants.

These are broken down into three primary peels:

Light Chemical Peel

If you're looking to further enhance skin texture and tone, this can be the right choice for you. It's commonly used to target mild acne, skin wrinkling, as well as excessive skin dryness.

The treatment interval generally recommended is every 4-6 weeks. This is because of its severity level.

Our experts can tailor a solution to meet your unique skin needs.

Medium Depth Chemical Peel

If you are experiencing moderate acne scarring or wrinkling, this can assist you in this. In comparison with the light alternative, it penetrates deeper into skin layers.

It's typically recommended by the experts to aim for a treatment every 4-6 months.

We can provide a medium depth peel that targets your needs.

Deep Chemical Peel

For a more intensive and thorough treatment, the deep chemical peel is selected. This is for those looking to address more in depth skin goals. Some of these range from severe acne scarring, to deep wrinkles. This is generally done every 2-3 years.

This peel requires more serious after care. Our team can guide you through the process.

FAQS

What does your face look like right after a chemical peel?

Normal reactions to a peel include:

• Skin peeling
• Skin flaking
• Skin Discolouration
• Uneven skin texture

Can you wear makeup after an acne peel?

Our experts advise that you wear makeup at least 48 hours afterwards. This is because your skin is still in the healing process. However, we understand that makeup can be a common part of your routine. Which is why, generally it's ok to opt for this afterwards.

How soon can I wash my face after a chemical peel?

Our team advises that you wait 24 hours post treatment before doing so. This is because of the dryness experienced post the process. It's crucial that your skin is left to heal with the right hydration, such as an increased water intake.

Do chemical peels get rid of acne scars permanently?

It's important to keep in mind that the treatment results may vary. The intensive nature of a chemical peel can mean that the scar is removed most of the time. However, based on the severity some of it may remain. Our cosmetic nurses can work for a solution based on your skin's response.

Does acne come back after a chemical peel?

Post chemical peel, you may find that your skin enters the purging stage. This is essentially a process where your skin responds to a new product/treatment. This is characterised in the form of tiny whiteheads and blackheads. It's key that you allow your skin a healing period, so it can adjust to this.

If you're concerned about a negative skin response, consult with a general practitioner or your cosmetic nurse.
