Chemical Peels

Cleopatra bathed in sour milk and ladies of the French Court applied aged wine and rotted fruits to their faces to keep their skin smooth and blemish free. The link between these age-old remedies and beautiful, clear skin is a group of naturally occurring fruit acids collectively referred to as Alpha Hydroxy Acids, or AHA's. Today, exfoliation is a key step in a good skincare regimen and one of the basics of the professional facial treatments.

Chemical Peeling is exactly what it says - peeling of the skin using a chemical for skin renewal. Leading dermatologists and plastic surgeons have long appreciated the positive results of this treatment which is ideal for treating ageing skin, acne and reducing skin sun damage, fine lines, dull skin tone, enlarged pores, acne scars and hyper pigmentation including age spots. This procedure helps the skin to appear smoother, healthier, plumper and tighter.

The resurfacing treatments below highlight their unique benefits and are as follows:

Lactic acid increases the thickness of the epidermis and the dermis and stimulates the growth of new collagen and elastic fibers in the dermal layer of the skin, so that, over a period of time, the skin surface begins to look younger and smoother.

Lactic acid has a bleaching effect on the skin colour as it promotes a homogenous dispersion of the melanin granules and it exerts an anti-oxidant effect. In addition, it inhibits the actions of tyrosinase, an enzyme that actively participates in the initial stages of melanogenesis.
