Skin Peels / Microdermabrasion
What is a Peel?
A clinical treatment that removes the top layer of the skin, leading to visibly improved appearance. Chemical peels produce controlled injury to the skin, which promote growth of new skin and improved appearance. A variety of chemicals can be used as peeling agents and include glycolic, trichloroacetic (TCA), salicylic and resorcinol. The different chemical solutions produce different degrees of injury to the skin.
Peels are often categorised by their depth: superficial, medium and deep. The deeper the peel the more dramatic skin improvement can be achieved. However, there is also an associated higher risk of complications, increased pain and longer healing time.

Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure that gently removes dead skin cells on the uppermost surface of the skin.
A small stainless steel head which contains miniature diamond grain creates a very light abrasion and, as the head moves across the skin’s surface, a mild vacuum suction disposes of old skin cells. This suction also helps stimulate cellular renewal and collagen production.
Abrasion levels can be adjusted according to individual skin colour and type. The emergence of newer cells results in a more youthful-looking and brighter complexion.
Ideal for treating:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Pigmentation
- Acne Scarring
- Enlarged pores and dull skin
- Congested skin
- Stretch marks
