As the cooler months arrive and summer fades, it's officially peel season! At BV Aesthetics, we recommend scheduling your chemical peel now for the best skin rejuvenation results. Let’s dive into the benefits of chemical peels, potential side effects, and explore the peel treatments we offer.
Why is Autumn the Best Time for a Chemical Peel?
During autumn and winter, you naturally spend less time exposed to the sun. UV rays can intensify sensitivity post-peel, which makes the cooler months ideal for treatments. This is the perfect time to refresh and renew your skin after summer's sun damage and to prepare your skin for the festive season!
Benefits of a Chemical Peel:
Chemical peels offer multiple skin-enhancing benefits, including:
Improved skin texture and tone: Peels help to smooth uneven skin texture and correct hyperpigmentation.
Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating cell turnover and collagen production, peels improve the appearance of fine lines.
Treating acne and blemishes: They help to unclog pores, reduce breakouts, and improve acne scars.
Brightening dull skin: Peels remove dead skin cells, revealing a more radiant complexion.
Hyper-customizable: Peels can be tailored to your specific skin concerns and goals, whether you're battling acne, pigmentation, or aging.
Possible Side Effects:
While chemical peels are generally safe and effective, it’s important to be aware of potential side effects:
Redness and irritation: Mild redness or a slight burning sensation immediately after the peel is common, but temporary.
Peeling or flaking: Depending on the depth of the peel, you may experience some skin peeling or flaking as your skin regenerates.
Increased sensitivity: Post-peel, your skin may be more sensitive to the sun and external factors.
Rare complications: These can include infection, scarring, or prolonged redness, especially if aftercare is not followed properly.
Chemical Peels Available at BV Aesthetics
At BV Aesthetics, we offer a variety of chemical peels to suit different skin types and needs:
Alumier MD Peels
Price Range: £80-£110
Alumier MD peels are highly customizable, offering solutions for acne, aging, pigmentation, and more. These peels can include key ingredients like lactic acid and salicylic acid, providing gentle yet effective exfoliation. They have minimal downtime, with the option for micropeeling, making them ideal for those who need quick results with little interruption to their daily routine.
Recommended sessions: 4-6 sessions for optimal results.
Frequency: Every 3-4 weeks
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance
Price: £100
The Obagi Blue Peel Radiance contains salicylic acid, making it an excellent choice for acne-prone or oily skin. This peel provides a gentle yet effective exfoliation, with micropeeling and no downtime. You may experience slight redness, but the results—a clearer, brighter complexion—are well worth it.
Recommended sessions: 4-6 sessions for best results
Frequency: Every 2-4 weeks
The Perfect Peel
Price: £250
The Perfect Peel is a more intense treatment, combining ingredients like trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, and glutathione. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that helps brighten the skin and reduce pigmentation. This powerful formula targets deeper skin concerns such as pigmentation, fine lines, and texture. Peeling lasts 10-14 days, so expect visible exfoliation, but the results—a dramatic improvement in skin tone and texture—make it a client favorite for transformative outcomes.
Recommended sessions: 2-3 sessions for best results
Frequency: Every 4-6 weeks
