Chemical peels
Chemical peels have been a mainstay of the
aesthetics industry for years. They are a relatively
short procedure in which a special solution is
applied to the face, causing the top layer of skin to be effectively “burned off”, allowing fresh, lineless skin to blossom from below.
While the concept may sound slightly unnerving,
they’re actually one of the best and most effective
methods of brightening complexions and
achieving great skin, as well as battling conditions such as acne, rosacea, ageing, melasma, and sun damage.
There are varying strengths of peel, which
determine how far into the skin layers the
chemicals delve. So, if you have deeper wrinkles, for example, a stronger peel may be better suited to your needs.
Chemical peels have come a long way in recent
years, mostly in the way different ingredients are
blended for superior results. And that’s where the
Perfect Peel comes in.
Party on with the Perfect Peel: revolutionary peel
for perfect skin.
A revelation since we introduced the Perfect Peel
to Vie Aesthetics earlier this year, it’s really pushed what this type of treatment is capable of. Versatile, powerful and fast-acting, it works wonders for anyone seeking radically improved skin in a short space of time. Let me explain a bit more about why it’s so impressive:
Magic ingredients
The Perfect Peel is a medium-strength, medical-
grade peel, which means it can only be performed
in clinics with a doctor – and supervised by a
doctor. The peel itself contains a unique blend of
vitamins and acids, including “Glutathione”,
which is the strongest antioxidant currently
available on the planet, and which had never been
incorporated into a peel before. That alone
provides a powerful ally against the onset of
premature wrinkles.
However, much of its firepower lies within the
actual combination of special ingredients,
enabling it to work on multiple levels. To begin
with, the product exfoliates your epidermis (the
outermost layer of skin), which is where most fine
lines and wrinkles sit. It stimulates the production
of collagen and elastin, so that your skin becomes
firmer over time. And it also targets and reduces
damage, or scarring, that exists in the dermis (the
middle layer of skin), most often caused by the sun
and acne.
One of the Perfect Peel’s unique advantages is that
your skin doesn’t require any advance preparation.
With most chemical peels, a preparation period of
around eight weeks is typically required ahead of
treatment. That’s not the case with the Perfect Peel.
You can launch straight in. But that doesn’t mean
you should shirk on caring for your skin at home.
As with all skin treatments, a proper skincare
regime at home is paramount to reaping the full
benefits of the Perfect Peel. Nobody can expect to
maintain results unless they use high quality
products between sessions. You should use an SPF
religiously to protect against sun damage, and you
should invest in a Vitamin C cream, which is so
crucial to our skin, and a quality exfoliator and
cleanser. Our clinic doctors and therapists are
always happy to provide ongoing advice about
looking after your skin, and what you should and
shouldn’t do.
Quick recovery
From start to finish, a Perfect Peel session typically
lasts around 45 minutes to an hour. Clients
experience a burning sensation during the
application of the chemicals, which isn’t pleasant,
but it’s fleeting, lasting around only 10 seconds.
Following treatment, the full recovery period is
around six days. Your skin will initially be red and
tender. A homecare kit is provided, which includes
easy-use wipes containing powerful Vitamin C
combined with Retinol. Day three is when the
peeling commences. By day six, the peeling should
have stopped, leaving you with fresh, new skin
that’s clear and “baby bum-smooth”. The Perfect Peel is highly versatile. It can be used
for general maintenance and boosting skin health,
or it can be used for reversing specific conditions.

different reasons. So, I thought I’d share with you
