Dreaming of smoother, brighter skin but hesitant about the downtime associated with traditional chemical peels? Then superficial peels might be your perfect solution! These gentle treatments offer a fantastic way to achieve noticeable results without the drama of excessive peeling. What are Superficial Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a popular non-surgical treatment that utilise acidic solutions to remove dead skin cells. They come in various strengths. Stronger peels have a deeper action and can give dramatic results but this comes at a cost, as the more intensive peels also involve quite a bit of visible peeling and shedding of the outer layers of skin.
Superficial peels, as the name suggests, target only the uppermost layer of the skin (epidermis). This gentle approach makes them an attractive option for those who don’t like the idea of flaky peeling skin. The superficial peel is an ideal choice for those seeking:
SkinViva Clinic chose the Clinicare range of superficial peels, which stand out for a number of reasons:
The choice of 3 products means that your peel can be tailored to your own unique concerns.
This peel is a champion for brightening and depigmentation. Its hero ingredients include glycolic and mandelic acids, known for their ability to exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal. Kojic and arbutin, natural lightening agents, further address hyperpigmentation and sun damage. The Glow peel is ideal for those seeking a radiant complexion, tackling uneven skin tone, age spots, and dullness.
This peel is the oil-fighter in the Clinicare family. Its key ingredients work together to combat acne and promote a clearer complexion. Packed with salicylic acid, it effectively decongests pores, reduces blemishes, and controls excess sebum production. The Pure Peel also contains calming ingredients to minimise irritation, making it ideal for those with or oily skin who are prone to acne and/or blemishes.
Designed with a focus on anti-aging, the Refresh peel targets fine lines, wrinkles, and rough texture. Its key ingredient is salicylic acid, a powerful exfoliant that unclogs pores and promotes smoother skin. Lactic acid joins the party to enhance hydration and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The Refresh peel is perfect for those looking to combat early signs of aging, improve skin texture, and achieve a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Following your superficial peel, you can expect your skin to feel refreshed and revitalised straightaway. The full effects will gradually become more noticeable over the following days and weeks. To maximise the results and maintain your healthy glow, a series of treatments is often recommended.
Superficial chemical peels, particularly those from the Clinicare range, offer a fantastic way to achieve a radiant, youthful complexion without the commitment of deeper peels.
