Exfoliation
Before applying a chemical peel, the clinician providing the treatment will clean your skin and applying the gel like substance of the peel itself.

Skincare assistance
There are no skin care products on the market that will be able to remove the dead skin cells from the surface of skin as effectively as a chemical peel.

This will boost your collagen production, increase elasticity and result in a much more youthful appearance.
Furthermore, your regular skincare routine will suddenly become much more effective as the dead cello which once blocked the products ingredients from being able to penetrate the surface and so their jobs will be able to do so much more effectively.

Reduce wrinkles
Chemical peels vary in intensities from mild created from fruit, lactic acid or similar to deep peels which can help to treat deep scars, fine lines and wrinkles.
A deep peel could require several return visits to the clinic but it is more than worth it, although it will take longer to heal.

Once the peel has been completed you should take care to protect your skin and prevent it from needing to be repeated any time soon. These precautions should include applying sunscreen and wearing a hat on a hot day.
