Skin peels are an excellent treatment for those new to clinical skincare and seasoned clients maintaining their skin health. Like all advanced treatments, skin peels should always be performed by a qualified dermal therapist or clinician to ensure safety and optimal results.
Understanding Skin Peel Ingredients
Choosing the right peel for your skin starts with understanding the key ingredients. Each type of acid or active component targets specific skin concerns. Here are some of the most popular ingredients used in professional skin peels:
AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid)
Ideal for prepping the skin for further in-clinic treatments, AHA is known for its exfoliating properties and skin-enhancing benefits:
- Improves the structure, function, and thickness of the epidermis
- Increases skin hydration levels
BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid)
BHA is your go-to solution for managing oil-related skin concerns. It penetrates deeply into the pores, making it highly effective for oily and acne-prone skin types.
- Beneficial for skin with overactive sebaceous secretions and thickened skin
- Provides anti-inflammatory properties
- Helps slow the ageing process caused by glycation
Kojic Acid
If pigmentation is a concern, Kojic Acid is a powerful ally. This ingredient works by inhibiting tyrosinase activity, which helps reduce and prevent melanin production.
- Targets pigmentation concerns effectively
- Helps prevent future melanin formation
Resorcinol
This versatile ingredient offers multiple benefits, particularly for skin conditions requiring antiseptic and resurfacing properties.
- Acts as a tyrosinase inhibitor
- Provides antiseptic and disinfectant properties
Things to Consider Before Starting a Skin Peel
Before undergoing any skin peel or in-clinic treatment, it’s important to evaluate your lifestyle and skin condition. Here are some essential factors to consider:
- Do you have any important functions or events in the next 7 days?
- Can you wear mineral makeup for the next 24-72 hours?
- Do you have any active skin conditions like psoriasis or herpes simplex?
These are just a few questions we ask during our consultation process to ensure the treatment is safe and suitable for you. Every client at our clinic undergoes a comprehensive consultation before starting their skin journey to ensure personalised care and the best possible outcomes.
