Skin Peels- Chemical Peels

    Chemical peels are an excellent treatment to treat wrinkles, discoloured skin and scars — usually on the face. They can be done alone or combined with other treatments. This treatment is an excellent introduction to skin rejuvenation.How they works:Using a chemical exfoliant the skin is prepared, an acid-based solution then instigates a process that increases skin cells turnover.Benefits:The benefits of this are that the dead layers of the skin are removed, the underlying cells are turning over at an increased rate which mildly increases collagen production and introduces the skin to a better skin cycle.

JetPeel Skin Treatment.

  The JetPeel jet pressure energy device generates pressurised air, which is accelerated in order to manipulate liquid into fine misty jet streams. These jet streams, travelling at a speed of over 200 m/s, are applied to the skin surface with the patented JetPeel handpiece, a wand-like instrument available in a range of sizes and configurations for specific treatments and conditions. As it travels over the skin, the handpiece generates continuous fine liquid jet streams that provide a lymphatic massage followed by exfoliation of the epidermal layer, and then gently stretch the skin surface for the infusion of specially suited liquid solutions.

The benefits of Hyaluronic acid serums for wrinkles and skin ageing.

So why do we need to add it to our skin if its already produced by the body? Put simply, hyaluronic acid is a molecule with a short life cycle, so 30-50% of it degrades every 24 hours. We also see a natural decline in our natural hyaluronic acid levels as we age. This starts to decrease in our 20s, accelerating further as we reach our 40s. These two factors combined can contribute to signs of ageing including dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, loss of firmness, and the appearance of loss of facial fullness. Adding hyaluronic acid topically with a serum can help to address these issues by topping up the natural hyaluronic acid that we have lost. HA Intensifier read more
