An AHA (alpha hydroxyl acid) lactic acid peel is derived from yogurt, buttermilk or sour cream. A lactic acid peel is designed to smooth and refine the skins surface and induce new collagen formation. Lactic acid peels are suitable for all skin types and offer amazing results to numerous skin complaints

Because a lactic peel is the gentlest type of peel, it is a great option for those with sensitive skin who are worried about unwanted effects. The process is less aggressive than some chemical peels with very little down time, but nonetheless highly effective.

Please note: clients who have dairy allergies are contra-indicated to lactic acid peels and should opt for salicylic peels instead.

Salicylic acid peels are particularly excellent for clients suffering with active acne. Salicylic acid is a BHA (beta hydroxyl acid) and is produced in the lab from the bark of the willow tree. It is similar in chemical formulation to the well known aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid).

Please note: clients who are allergic to aspirin are contra-indicated to salicylic acid peels and should opt for a lactic acid peel instead.

Often a combination of both lactic acid and salicylic acid peels are required to treat both active acne and acne scaring. Salicylic is much more oil soluble than lactic acid and hence works very well on oily acne skin. However clients that are being treated for the first time should have between one and three lactic acid peel treatments before being treated with salicylic acid.

Generally speaking, the period between peels should be between two to four weeks. Client response will vary, but noticeable results are usually achieved in four to six treatments. Best results are achieved in a course of six treatments. It is recommended that no more than eight treatments should be undertaken in a series of treatments. A period of between three to four months between series of treatments is recommended. Make a booking call 3491 3411 or fill out the contact form
