We use the SkinMed® Enerpeel® brand exclusively. The technology is new, a patented carrier solution restrains the activity of the acid until it is absorbed. This does not reduce its activity; instead, it restrains the acid and then releases it to accelerate through the skin, enhancing its activity.
SkinMed® Enerpeel® delivers uniform, enhanced absorption of the active ingredients, with two- to three-fold improved skin penetration.
SkinMed® Enerpeel®, the carrier releases the acid’s molecules in a way that accelerates penetration through the skin layers, separating cells in a ‘cleaner’ quicker way. The result? less surface irritation and faster surface recovery with redness reducing rapidly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a skin peel and how does it work?
A chemical solution, an acid, is applied to your skin, which causes trauma or injury to your skin’s layers. The skin layers eventually peel off revealing more youthful skin. The new skin is usually smoother with fewer lines and wrinkles, has a more even colour and is brighter in complexion. The peel is usually a course of four to six treatments 2-4 weeks apart depending on the type of peel.
How long do skin peel results last?
Results can last 6-12 months depending upon the indication and the type of peel used.
Is a Skin Peel safe?
Skin Peels are safe, but not risk free, Emma will discuss all the risks and benefits with you at consultation and again prior to treatment.
Am I suitable for Skin Peel Treatment?
