Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are transformative treatments aimed at refining skin texture and rejuvenating its appearance by removing surface irregularities. These peels work by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production, and addressing concerns like uneven tone, texture, and hydration.

At Enrich Aesthetics, we offer a range of chemical peels tailored to diverse skin needs. A professional consultation is essential to determine the most suitable peel for your specific concerns. Whether you seek to reduce discoloration, improve texture, or enhance hydration, our peels are designed to deliver visible results.

Experience the benefits of a chemical peel, which can effectively renew your skin’s vitality and reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion. Our goal is to provide you with a personalized treatment that revitalizes and enhances your skin’s overall appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

ln terms of AHA’s, I prefer to formulate with lactic acid over glycolic. This is because lactic acid is a larger molecule than glycolic acid. Lactic is less likely to penetrate the epidermis and cause skin irrritation. ln addition, lactic acid is a natural skin hydrator and is less likely to cause surface dryness. Salicylic acid is a great peels agent due to its ability to penetrate the pore and reduce inflammation. Even clients with sensitive skin will benefit from low level salicylic acid peels (5% or less).

Generally those who suffer from acne, congestion, blackheads, sun damage and fine lines will benefit from peels. ln terms of acne, it works by the lactic acid removing the top layer, and salicylic acid (BHA) penetrating the follicles to help unblock pores, reduce inflamed skin and remove trapped oil and dead cells.

For those suffering from surface pigmentation and sunspots, AHA’S help to lift surface cells which hold the uneven surface pigmentation. Clients with frown lines will find that a series of AHA peels will note a reduction in the appearance of fine surface lines, as exfoliation causes the skin to regenerate new cells more efficiently and remove rough surface cells.

Unless one strong deeper peel is performed under controlled medical supervision the answer is NO. Best results will be obtained through a series of six to eight fortnightly to monthly peels rather than a one-off treatment. It is recommended to have lighter peels over three months than one aggressive peels that may cause severe damage to the skin. Many clients commence with low level peels (lactic 20-30%) and gradually increase the peels strength over the series to up to 60% if tolerated. Sue will advise you on a suitable level for your skin type.

Not everyone is suited to chemical peels. Peels should never be performed on those with darker skin tones, particularly those with darker Asian, Middle Eastern and African American and Southern European ethnicity as they are prone to skin pigmentation after damage.

Have you ever noticed older skin that has the appearance of candle wax? This may be the result of over peeling. Having too many peels of overly aggressive treatments can irreversibly thin the skin and may even permanently remove our natural protective pigment. Always err on the side of caution and have peels performed by reputable therapists. Peels are designed to address a skin concern. Once the concern is controlled or desired results are achieved, then the treatment should cease. Maintenance treatment can be performed as needed.

It is possible to achieve excellent results in improving skin tone and texture with high- quality home exfoliation ingredients. Low level lactic, salicylic, malic, and mandelic acid in serum form can be used daily for acne and sun damage and up to three times per week for general skin exfoliation.

The Synergie Skin product, Reveal, is designed to gently remove surface dead cells and remove trapped oil and dead cells trapped in pores. A series of chemical peels after summer and winter are an excellent way to boost your skin’s collagen and get rid of that dull look.
