Chemical Peels

A good all-round treatment that helps improve many conditions

There are a huge variety of chemical peels on the market and we believe we have chosen the best available.

ENERPEEL

What are Enerpeels?

The Enerpeel® emphasis is on remodelling, restructuring, rejuvenating, reducing sun and age damage and controlling skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, thread veins, pigmentation of various types while also delivering an even toned, bright skin while ensuring you can carry on with life as normal.

The different Enerpeel® systems contain specific ingredient combinations to target the active treatment components for each individual skin condition. The entire Enerpeel® range contains the ingredient MSM which promotes normal healing and restricts chemicals which may cause irregular or abnormal healing. It also has calming properties and reduces irritation making the clinical experience much more comfortable.

How do they work?

Enerpeel® is a carrier solution which contains the key ingredients which can be adjusted to be released at the desired skin depth for maximal results. However, this is not a buffered peel. This mechanism of action minimises surface trauma which can cause reddening, frosting, peeling and downtime whilst maximising the activity in the skin to promote improved skin structure and function.

What can Enerpeels® treat?

• pigmentation
• acne and acne scars
• rosacea and redness
• actinic keratosis
• solar elastosis
• solar lentigo
• melasma
• superficial scars
• radiation keratosis
• dermatoheliosis
• post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Is it painful?

During the procedure you will feel a mild to moderate stinging sensation. The clinician will monitor this and it is normal. With the milder peels you may not feel anything. If you are having a higher strength peel then a stinging sensation can be expected. As all Enerpeel® skin peels contain MSM, an anti-inflammatory ingredient, it means that any stinging or uncomfortable sensations are controlled and kept to a minimum.

What are the different peels and what do they treat?

Enerpeel Eye and Lip

You can even fit a treatment in during lunch time.

Skincare pre and post treatment

As part of your skin assessment your clinician will advise on the best products for you to use at home to prepare your skin for the procedure. These products should be used prior, during and after treatment and can also be used long term as part of your daily skin care routine.

These products are designed to:

• Maximise treatment results
• Reduce post-treatment complications
• Reduce erythema
• Increase the skin’s recovery time
• Ensure the treatment ingredients can get to the desired level within the skin

All products are included in the cost of a course of 3 peels.

After Care

After a peel you may notice that your skin is flushed, pink or red, almost like you have caught the sun that day and your skin may also feel dry or tight. At or around day 2-3 post treatment you may experience some slight peeling or flaking. This is to be expected and will last 1 – 2 days. It is possible that you may have no peeling or flaking. The Enerpeel® system is designed to remodel from within with as little downtime and surface trauma as possible. It is important to wear SPF50 everyday post-procedure and avoid products containing Retinol, Glycolic or any other exfoliating ingredients for the first week post-procedure.

Is it safe?

All treatments carry a degree of risk and complications; these will all be discussed with you when you have a consultation prior to the treatment. Enerpeel technology not only improves results but also improves safety. To minimise issues, a skin assessment will be carried out to assess your skin type, to identify any contraindications, to diagnose the skin condition and to decide which peel to use.

The most common side effects are:

• Erythema
• Itchiness
• Peeling
• Dryness
• Tenderness
• Swelling

All of these side effects are normally temporary and usually settle in a couple of days depending on which peel you have had.
