What is skin resurfacing?

Skin resurfacing is the process of exfoliating to remove dead skin cells and promote or stimulate the growth of new skin cells. This can be used to treat skin with an uneven texture or tone, or even to help with acne scarring or to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As you can tell, skin resurfacing treatments really do transform the surface of your skin, and leave your skin glowing and healthy.

What are chemical peels?

A chemical peel is an aesthetic procedure that involves applying an acidic liquid to the skin, and then removing this. Different chemical peels will target different levels of the skin, and different options will also need to be applied for different amounts of time. The variety of chemical peels available means that there is a treatment option for every type of skin.

  • 3 different types of chemical peel to choose from – there are 3 different types of chemical peel to choose from, and this means that whatever skin issue you have, there is an effective chemical peel solution. The superficial level chemical peels are gentle and make use of mild acids to lightly exfoliate the skin. Medium chemical peels are more intrusive and penetrate the middle and outer layer of skin. Deep chemical peels are the strongest, using more powerful acids to reach deeper skin layers, and to remove damaged skin cells too.
