A chemical peel uses a chemical solution for exfoliation to remove dead cells from the upper layer of skin. A chemical peel treatment can take 30 minutes, and the peeling can last from 3 to 5 days. During the process of peeling, dead skin cells are shed or flaked off. This reveals fresh, new, healthy skin beneath. For details on Skin Clinic Exeter, visit https://www.helenhuntaesthetics

What are the benefits of a chemical peel?

A chemical peel has many benefits. Chemical peels not only reveal a more radiant, refined and smoother complexion, but they also improve your skin’s overall appearance and feel in one treatment. Chemical peels have many other benefits, including:

• Improve the skin’s clarity, colour and texture
• The stimulation of new collagen and healthy cell growth results in a radiant skin complexion
• Reduce sun damage and discolouration
• Clearing up acne
• Smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines
• Increase the hydration level of your skin
• Treating superficial skin scars and visible skin imperfections
• Peels can make skincare products more effective at home because they remove multiple layers of buildup and congestion on the skin.

Three or more peels spaced between four and six weeks is recommended for long-term effects. A series of peels will allow you to reach the deeper epidermis layers, resulting in a more thorough exfoliation. This deep exfoliation stimulates cellular turnover and results in healthy, glowing, skin.

Your clinical aesthetician will determine the type of chemical peel you need during your first consultation. This is based on factors such as your skin type, condition, lifestyle, and desired result.
