Chemical Peels
(Available at Inverurie only)
Chemical peels are professional skin treatments designed to improve the appearance, texture and overall condition of the skin. A carefully selected solution is applied to the skin to exfoliate the outermost layers, encouraging the skin’s natural renewal process.
At Alpha Hospital Group, we offer ZO Stimulator Peel and Obagi Blue Radiance Peel, with the most appropriate treatment selected according to your individual skin concerns and goals.
Treatments
- ZO Stimulator Peel
- Obagi Blue Radiance Peel
The problem
The skin can become dull and uneven over time due to a build-up of dead skin cells, sun exposure, ageing and other environmental factors.
Chemical peels can help to refresh the skin and improve the appearance of concerns such as uneven skin tone, dullness, rough texture and some forms of pigmentation.
Your practitioner will assess your skin before treatment to determine which peel is most appropriate for you.
The treatment
Your skin will be cleansed and prepared before the selected peel is applied. The peel works on the surface of the skin to encourage exfoliation and renewal.
Depending on the peel used, you may experience some warmth, tingling or mild sensitivity during and after treatment. Some peels may result in mild peeling or flaking in the days following treatment.
Your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare advice, including guidance on skincare and sun protection.
