What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a type of skin treatment that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. They can be used to treat various skin issues, including acne scars, ageing signs, sun damage, and melasma. There are different depths of peels—light, medium, and deep—each tailored to address specific skin concerns.
By carefully selecting the type and concentration of the chemical solution, treatments can be customised to meet the unique needs of each individual’s skin. This customisation allows for targeted treatment of specific dermatological issues.
What to Expect from Chemical Peels
Patients opting for chemical peels at Eaton Skin & Aesthetics can anticipate a detailed pre-treatment consultation. This session is crucial for assessing the patient’s skin condition and discussing their aesthetic goals. Here, the specific type of peel and the expected depth of treatment are determined, setting clear expectations for the procedure’s outcome. Depending on the depth of the peel, patients may experience sensations ranging from mild tingling to discomfort.
Post-treatment, the recovery time varies according to the intensity of the peel. Light peels might only cause slight redness and peeling, allowing patients to resume their daily activities, while deeper peels may require a more extended recovery period, with more pronounced peeling and sensitivity. Our clinic provides comprehensive aftercare instructions to support the healing process. Patients are advised on how to care for their skin on the days following the peel and on the importance of sun protection and gentle skincare products.
Patients can expect changes in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance, with results that can last for months. Some may choose to have peels periodically to maintain these effects. Our team is dedicated to guiding patients through their post-peel care.
Our Approach to Chemical Peels
Our approach to chemical peels at Eaton Skin & Aesthetics is rooted in a philosophy of personalised skincare and meticulous attention to detail. Understanding that each patient’s skin is unique, we prioritise tailored treatment plans that address individual concerns and goals.
We believe in the importance of patient education, ensuring individuals are fully informed about the benefits, potential risks, and the healing process associated with chemical peels. This emphasis on communication helps to set realistic expectations and fosters a trusting relationship between our practitioners and patients. Patient safety is our top priority, guiding our selection of chemical peel types and concentrations to ensure they align with each patient’s skin type and tolerance.
We offer advice on proper skincare routines, sun protection, and hydration. These not only prolong the results of chemical peels but also contribute to good skin health.
