CHEMICAL SKIN PEELS AT HANNAH LONDON

At Hannah London, we utilize a range of advanced peels that infuse a carrier solution with a range of active ingredients that penetrate the skin deeper. This deep-acting technology reduces trauma to the skin’s surface, resulting in an improved exfoliation rate. Each peel produces a different level of chemical exfoliation depending on the condition to be treated, classified as mild, medium, or deep.

SKIN PEEL TREATMENT – HOW DO CHEMICAL SKIN PEELS WORK?

To perform the procedure, a chemical solution is applied to the surface of the skin to remove its outer layers. The amount of skin that is removed will depend on the chemical used, its strength, and how long the product is left on the skin.

Chemical peels are usually described according to how deep they work on the skin. Below are some examples of the type of peels and the kind of language you can expect to hear used when discussing chemical peels.

SUPERFICIAL PEELS

(Glycolic acid such as Neostrata glycolic acid peel) Remove the outer layer of the skin or the “epidermal layers”.

SUPERFICIAL TO MEDUIM DEPTH PEELS

(such as NeoStrata peels) Remove the skin slightly deeper than epidermal layer.

MEDIUM DEPTH PEELS

(Trichloroacetic acid such as Obagi Blue peel) Remove both the epidermal layers and upper dermal layers.

A chemical peel can range from mild (a glycolic or salicylic peel) to deep (a TCA peel), and is achieved by applying an acidic irritant to the skin’s surface, causing new, fresh skin to form. Chemical solutions react with the epidermis in such a way that they cause a superficial wound which the body then attempts to heal by stimulating the growth of new cells.

The doctor will cleanse your skin beforehand and may apply topical anesthesia if needed. If you are having a deeper, more abrasive peel, IV sedation may be necessary to make sure the patient is as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure. Afterwards, chemical agents will be applied to the skin, and left on for a few minutes to start breaking down the epidermis layer. During this time, patients may experience a slight stinging or a mild sensation of heat. After removing the solution, the doctor will apply a cold compress to soothe the treated area.

Glycolic peels are mild peels that are perfect for rejuvenating dull or aged looking skin, by exfoliating deeply, whilst gently resurfacing. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, they leave the treated area brighter, smoother and hydrated. For best results, six treatments spaced one week apart are recommended.

Mandelic

Mandelic peels are mild peels that are perfect for anyone with sensitive or acne prone skin who want an exfoliant that’s less harsh than traditional AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids). This gentle acid that is derived from almonds that leaves your skin brighter, reducing hyperpigmentation and clears the pores.

Salicylic peels are mild peels that are brilliant for treating acne and oily skin, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. Peels using Salicylic Acid help eliminate excess oils and debris that cause breakouts and blackheads, resulting in dramatically improved appearance of the skin. For best results, salicylic acid can be used once a week.

Lactic peels are mild peels that are ideal for anyone with acne-prone skin or who frequently breaks out. Peels using Lactic Acid help to kill bacteria, deminish fine lines and wrinkles, reduce acne lesions and also helps the skin to hold moisture.

Aside from that, they can also clear blocked pores, reduce redness, soothe inflammation, and even revert skin laxity.

TCA Peel

TCA (Trichloroacetic) Peels are intense strength peels. However, they are the leaders in resurfacing treatments; softening acne scars, pigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. Peels containing TCA come in a variety of strengths, and anesthetic cream may be needed for deeper scarring. Be aware that this treatment is not recommended for sensitive or dark skin.
