SKIN PEELS

CUSTOMISED SKIN PEELS

What are Skin Peels?

We offer a great range of customized skin peels that all generally improve the skin’s condition and texture. This treatment is a relaxing procedure with fast-acting results to give you a new aesthetic, youthful look.

Chemical peeling consists of the application on the skin of exfoliating agents to obtain first, destruction and then regeneration of part of the skin.

We recommend booking a complimentary consultation with one of our specialists to discuss what peel is best suited to your skin and to answer any concerns you may have.
