Treatments – Fruit Acid Peel

One can expect rapid and significant improvements in:

• Gentle Exfoliation: Fruit acids, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), gently exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and revealing a brighter, smoother complexion.
• Improved Texture: By sloughing off dull, rough skin, fruit acid peels promote a more refined skin texture, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.
• Stimulated Collagen Production: The exfoliating action of fruit acids stimulates collagen production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness for a more youthful look.
• Unclogged Pores: Fruit acids help unclog pores by removing excess oil, dirt, and debris, leading to fewer breakouts and a clearer complexion.
• Even Skin Tone: Regular use of fruit acid peels can help fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, resulting in a more even skin tone.
• Enhanced Product Absorption: By removing dead skin cells and improving skin texture, fruit acid peels enhance the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products applied afterward.
• Experience the revitalizing benefits of fruit acid skin peels and discover a radiant, rejuvenated complexion!

Course of treatment?

For optimal results, treatment may be repeated at 2–4-week intervals for a series of 6 – 10 treatments until the desired clinical effect is achieved.

The whole process takes barely 30 minutes – 1 hour to be completed.

How to Prepare for your Treatment:

Because chemical peels work by removing a layer of skin, any treatments that leave your skin more sensitive can lead to discomfort or other complications. Treatments to avoid include:

• Facial Treatments: Electrolysis/ Laser treatments/ Chemical peels
• Waxing/ Tweezing
• Products with AHA’s, BHA’s, glycolic acid, retinol, irritants, strong acids

What to expect:

During the procedure:

• Your therapist will apply a barrier gel to the sensitive areas of the skin.
• The liquid peel is then spread over the surface over the face
• The skin can become quite hot, and may tingle or sting a bit – this is normal and a sign it’s working. The tingling/stinging will subside after a few seconds.
• At the end of the allotted time the peel will be neutralized and washed off.

After the procedure:

• Following the procedure, your skin will return to normal immediately and you may resume normal activities.
• Side effects are usually very mild and disappears after a few hours or within a day.
• The most common side effects include swelling, redness, itching, drying out of the skin, flaking, frosting, peeling and temporary darkening.
• When used for the treatment of acne scars, it can also cause the temporary increase in the number of spots. This is because the process opens up the pores releasing the acne causing bacteria thus leading to a sudden increase in acne. However, this is not a serious matter to worry about as the acne soon disappears.
• Use a rich hypoallergenic moisturiser several times daily
• Use a broad-spectrum SPF30 or more sunscreen daily.
