Skin Peels Sydney - GMC Cosmedical in Randwick and Campbelltown
A general overview...
Peels can range from light freshening "Beauty Flashes" that enhance the colour, texture, and smoothness of your complexion, to Intermediate and Deeper Chemical Peels. Deeper Chemical Peels are designed to remove deeper problems, including, stubborn pigmentation, acne scarring and deeper sun and age damage.
Please note that as well as the face all peels can be carried out on any part of the body including the neck, chest, back, shoulders, arms and legs. Some of the common problems experienced here include: dry scaly wrinkling on the arms and legs, sunspots on the backs of hands and forearms, acne on the back and shoulders and sun damaged leathery skin across the chest.
What is in a Peel?
Various types of peeling agents are used to cater to all types of problems and skin types, including very dark skins. Some of these agents include high grade glycolic ("fruit acid" or "AHA"), TCA (Trichloracetic Acid), Jessner's peels and complex medical grade peels.
What are the main benefits of a Peel?
All peels are non-toxic and have additional beneficial effects on the skin. These benefits include;
- Improved blood circulation and lymph drainage
- Increased production of new and stronger Collagen and Elastin Fibres to tighten and firm the skin
- An increase in new and healthier cell production to replace the older and damaged skin cells being removed, making the skin brighter and clearer.
The result is an obvious improvement in your appearance which will give a healthier and revitalized look.
The programmes are also very effective in treating active acne as well as reducing chronic acne scarring. It forms an integral part of any acne treatment programme to bring about rapid control in most cases and to minimize long term complications such as scarring.
How is the programme carried out?
A medical consultation is first carried out to detect any skin or medical conditions that may influence the safe use of the programme. You will be able to discuss with the doctor any
specific concerns or needs you may have, so that your programme is tailored to consider these and other factors such as your age, skin type and degree of damage.
We start with a one or two week home treatment course of daily applications of products to prepare your skin before the application of the peeling agents for a more even and predictable effect.
