Would you like your skin to look and feel great?
Glycolic Peels (also known as Chemical Peels) are a popular and quick treatment which can be applied on a regular basis to leave your skin feeling fresh and new.
A chemical solution is applied by a Doctor or Nurse Practitioner to damaged skin to remove the surface of the skin leaving newer, younger looking skin to come to the surface. It is typically used to treat areas of the hands, face and neck.
The solution causes skin layers to peel away and reveal younger, healthier layers beneath. Once the dead layer is completely gone, the new skin heals and provides a healthy and glowing appearance.
Glycolic Peels can be used to reduce or eliminate fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes and around the mouth, correct uneven skin pigmentation, treat acne and soften the appearance of scars.
Side effects are minimal and may involve mildly reddened skin. After one or two days, the skin colour returns to normal and appears fresher and younger looking.
All treatments are carried out by either Dr Piper, who is a Member of the Association of Cosmetic Doctors and has been a GP for over 22 years or one of our fully qualified Practice Nurses or fully trained technicians . All patients receive an initial consultation to both assess suitability for treatment and to discuss the appropriate treatment, the procedure and realistic results.
