This peel uses Laser to target sun damage and removes surface layers of old damaged skin. A patch test two weeks prior to treatment is required. This peel uses the Nd Yag Laser to target sun damage and removes surface layers of old damaged skin. The use of this laser skin peel is very effective at reducing skin congestion such as milia. You will experience a 'cracking sound' as the laser works over the skin. Your skin will appear red after the treatment, but by the next day this will have reduced. Dry skin with some peeling should be expected and this usually lasts about 4-5 days. For patients having 'sun spots' or 'liver spots' removed from the back of their hands, the treated area will appear darker for about a 7-10 days and then fade away. Total clearance of these spots could take up to 4 sessions, but most disappear after just 1 treatment. A patch test two weeks prior to treatment is required (£50).

For those who want good results without instant effects, the Cool Peel could be the ideal solution. Using lactic acid to remove the excess cells from the skin’s horny layer, this peel has an exfoliating effect and can be repeated even daily over a 6 week period if required. There is no downtime and no shedding so you can get excellent results without considering how you’ll look afterwards. A major advantage is that this peel acts as a sanitiser for your skin and reduces the chance of acne breakouts. The skin takes on a radiant and hydrated appearance.
