A Chemical Peel uses a chemical to remove the top Epidermis layer of the skin down into the Stratum Corneum layer. At GlamourEyes Aberdeen we use a professional grade level of Lactic Acid (AHA) or a Lactic + Salicylic Acid blend (AHA/BHA). Despite the name, a Chemical Peel does not make your skin noticeably ‘peel’ off. What is noticeable is smoother and brighter skin, revealed underneath the layers removed by the Chemical Peel. This service is beneficial for targeting fine lines and wrinkles and for those looking for deep exfoliation, or reduced hyperpigmentation. It also benefits those with challenges of excess sebum, pore clogging, congestion and breakouts. Your Skin Care Specialist will determine which Chemical Peel and specifically which acid percentage level is best for your skin.
We do not recommend this service if you have inflamed acne. Please review our contraindication list at the bottom of this page prior to booking, as we cannot do this service if any of those exclusions apply to you. As with most procedures, visible results from a Chemical Peel will vary from person to person
