Acne Gentle Peels

Regular skin exfoliation or acne gently peels can help rejuvenate the skin by peeling away the top layer which has dead skin cells.

This is not only an effective way to “peel off” mild acne but also cleans skin pores so that new skin can resurface.

How do gentle acne peels work?

Gentle acne peels are a flexible way of treating a wide range of skin problems, not just acne. However, it is considered a feasible process for dealing with acne symptoms because it encourages the cell turnover or regeneration process in a mild yet effective way, as well as reducing sebum levels at the skin’s surface.

A chemical solution is applied to the skin for a set amount of time, which triggers the non-invasive exfoliation process.

After removal of the chemical, the skin is ideally placed to absorb infusions and dermatological solutions or serums which soothe, nourish and give it a healthy glow.

What do gentle acne peels treat?

The treatment is highly effective for non-inflamed acne and mild acne scarring. Peels can also improve the appearance of stretch marks, dry skin, wrinkles, fine lines, freckles, age spots, old and tired-looking skin.

Peels can be administered all over the body, not just the face, to resolve mild acne symptoms almost completely. After the treatment, you can expect acne symptoms to improve and the skin to look refreshed.

“The great thing about gentle peels for acne is that it’s a very versatile and effective treatment which could simultaneously improve a range of skin problems and conditions, since the treatment is directed at improving the overall health of the skin from within.

“With skin of colour, it is especially important to choose the right grade of chemical peel, something we always pay close attention to. Inappropriate use of peels can worsen problems such as hyperpigmentation in skin of colour.

“However, with the right approach, there are good potential benefits for the long term, because exfoliation process stimulates new skin cell growth, getting rid of mild acne symptoms and even slowing down the ageing process that’s evident in coloured skin.”
