Non Surgical Cosmetic Treatment

Wonderful way to improve and rejuvenate your skin!

Chemical peels are applied to the face, hands, neck and upper chest. Rejuva Clinic specializes in superficial-to-medium chemical peels and individualizes a treatment program based upon your skin type to treat:

• Acne
• Sun damage
• Fine line
• Acne scars
• Age spots
• Freckles
• Dull looking skin

Our chemical peels are characterized by light to moderate penetration of the outer layers of damaged skin, with minimal to no discomfort, and minimal to no risk of scarring or downtime. The deep peels of the past are an out of favour due to lengthy downtime and unpredictable results. Light to medium peels, however, are an excellent tool for rejuvenating the skin. They help restore your skin's natural glow.

What is a chemical peel?

Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) light or "lunch-hour" peels include glycolic, lactic, and fruit acid peels (AHA) or salicylic acid (BHA). Chemical peels improve the texture of sun-damaged skin, brighten your complexion, minimize pore size, balance skin pigmentation, and diminish some types of acne scars. They burn off only the outer layers of the skin to smooth out fine wrinkles and/or rough, dry skin.

What do you need to do before a peel?

You will see our specialist doctor who will advise you on your home care programme which is usually performed 2-3 weeks prior to your first peel.

How is a chemical peel performed?

All chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to remove the outer layers of skin so that a smoother, more evenly pigmented, glowing layer of skin can appear. It helps stimulate the production of new skin cells.

What can be expected during and after a chemical peel?

Typically, one can expect a slight degree of stinging during the procedure, which lasts 2 to 10 minutes. Afterwards, chemical peels generally cause some flaking, redness and dryness, or skin irritation. These side effects diminish over time. Once the body heals itself naturally, the outer layer of skin will fall away.

How many do you need?

Usually a series of at least 2-4 very superficial and superficial peels are needed to treat ageing skin and acne scars.

For deep scars, lines and wrinkles 1-2 medium peels may be needed.

What is it like afterward?

Superficial peels result in mild facial redness and occasional swelling but this usually resolves within 48 hours.

Medium peels result in a more intense redness and possible swelling, which usually has a recovery time of 5-10 days.
