During the treatment, a pre-determined quantity of the peel solution is applied to the skin for a specified amount of time. This is dependent on the type of chemical peel used, the concentration of the solution, skin type, and skin’s reactivity to the treatment. This solution works by reacting with the upper layer of the skin to efficiently dissolve the bonds that bind surface cells to the skin, ultimately revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath. While some peels are self-neutralizing, most formulas need to be neutralized with a buffering solution or water upon completion of the treatment. The goal is to prompt the skin to naturally repair itself and reveal newer, brighter skin.

The action of a professional chemical peel far outweighs the effect of an exfoliating scrub or brush. Best of all, chemical peels are appropriate for nearly everyone. It is a matter of knowing which chemical is best for your skin type and concerns.

Chemical acids are further broken down by the pH of the formulation (the lower the pH, the stronger the acidity) and the size of the molecule itself. For example, a 20% concentration of glycolic acid at a pH of 3 may be more efficacious than the same formulation of lactic acid because the glycolic molecule is smaller and better able to penetrate the skin.

Your skincare professional will be able to determine the most appropriate SkinCeuticals facial peel treatment and the formulation for your skin type and the most effective post-procedure regimen.

At South William Clinic we can combine our Skinceutucals Treatments with many other treatments including LED Light Therapy, Microneedling, JetPeel, Hydrafacial and many more. Our skin experts can assist with putting together a treatment plan to address your skin concerns.

There is no downtime to a Skinceuticals Treatment. Treatments are completely non-invasive procedures. They help deliver serums deep into the skin. This facial is safe for most people and can be used on those with sensitive skin also.

SkinCeuticals facials are tailored to multiple skin types, all seasons, and a diverse range of skin concerns. There is a treatment option to treat every skin condition, from acne to lines and wrinkles, in a gentle but effective way. Your physician or skincare professional will choose specific treatment options and/or customise the treatment for your unique skin conditions and needs.

Directly after your initial Skinceuticals peel, your skin will feel instantly refreshed, dewy and more vibrant. Fine lines and wrinkles will be softened out. For lasting effects, we recommend 6 treatments in intervals of 4 weeks apart. In order to retain the result we advise ongoing treatments for maintenance along with a homecare routine. We can customize both a treatment and homecare plan for you.

We would ask for you to initially follow our detailed aftercare plan post treatment. We can provide you with a full homecare routine using advanced skincare to help prolong the results and continue to maintain healthy skin. We will provide you with a personal product prescription for you to follow at home. Skinceutical have an extensive range of homecare products to help encourage overall skin health at home.
