Chemical Peels

Clinicare chemical peel

The chemical peel is one of the most recognised methods of improving skin health and appearance by removing dead skin cells and encouraging new cells to grow.

Chemical peel depth can range from very superficial to deep, although several light depth peels can often achieve similar results to one deeper peel treatment, with less risk and shorter recovery time.

CLINICARE Medical grade superficial peels contain a mixture of Glycolic, Lactic and Salicylic Acids to remove the upper layer of the epidermis encouraging regeneration and rejuvenation of new skin cells.

The result is the improved clinical appearance of skin with fewer fine lines, a brighter complexion, improved skin tone and a more youthful appearance.

The Clinicare peels come in 3 targeted ranges for specific skin indications and are extremely well tolerated with minimum side effects.

The procedure isn’t painful but you may feel tingling or that your face feels hot for around 3-6 minutes after application.

A course of peels may be recommended for certain skin conditions and the strength of your peel may be increased over time as your skin integrity improves.
