Many skin problems are associated with excessive build-up of dead cells making the skin hardened, uneven and dull. Problems are exacerbated by exposure to the sun, pollution, and other environmental effects, leading to damage and disease.
Mild exfoliation treatments are usually suitable for all skin types including those patients with acne or sensitive skin.
All skin types can be treated.
All age groups even the very young can be treated.
All areas of the body can be treated.
Patients with hormonal pigmentation problems such as epidermal melasma can be treated, however additional modalities are required to control and maintain the results of the treatment of melasma.
Individuals who have sunspots, sun-damaged skin, dry skin, ageing skin, oily skin with enlarged pores and acne scarring are also good candidates.
Any skin requiring a boost with mild resurfacing can benefit from an Alpha Hydroxy Acid peel.
After your initial consultation, you will be given a Brightening cream (or a pigment inhibiting cream), which must be applied to the entire face daily for ten to 14 days before the peeling process can begin. This down regulates 6 enzyme pathways that produces melanin and will prevent the possibility of post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (PIH) that can occur after any exfoliation procedure.
Alpha Hydroxy Acid Peels can be performed in combination with numerous other treatments we offer. For maximal benefit, 4 to 6 in-office professional Alpha Hydroxy peels every 2 - 4 weeks should be teamed with an anti-ageing treatment such as carboxytherapy, Laser Genesis, ND:Yag Skin Tightening, Titan, Limelight, RF Needling or Radiofrequency Skin Tightening, to create an environment in which the skin is continuously rejuvenated.
At Body Renewal we pride ourselves on visible results. As an aesthetic clinic we offer anti-ageing treatments and problem specific additives as an addition to our peels to ensure amazing results.
Yes, Alpha Hydroxy Acid Chemical Peels safely treats all skin types without any pain or down-time. It can improve acne, texture, pores, pigmentation, and surface irregularities in only 4 to 6 treatment sessions two to four weeks apart.
