How many chemical peels do I need?
Usually a series of at least 4 very superficial and superficial peels are needed to treat ageing skin and acne scars. For deep scars, lines and wrinkles one to two medium peels may be needed. Our highly experienced team will advise on how many peels you require, depending on the condition you are being treated for.
What do I need to do before a peel?
It is a very easy programme. You may be placed on a home care programme of our Mene and Moy products, which will introduce your skin to the programme. This plays an important part of the overall peel procedure, as the continuous home care programme is important in the success of your peels. A factor 30 sun block is always included in the home care programme.
What is it like afterwards?
Superficial peels result in mild facial redness and occasional swelling but this usually resolves within 48 hours. There is no down time with these peels. You can return to work immediately. Medium peels result in a more intense redness and possible swelling, which usually has a recovery time of 5-10 days.
