If your skin is looking dull, uneven, congested or lacking radiance, a chemical peel may be a simple and effective addition to your skincare routine.
At EOS Aesthetics, we offer a selection of professional peels, including Obagi Blue Peel Radiance, BioRePeel and Definisse Rinnova Peels, alongside carefully selected homecare to help maintain your results between treatments.
Although the word peel can sound intimidating, modern professional peels can be tailored to different skin types and concerns, with many treatments requiring little or no downtime.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel uses a carefully selected combination of acids or other active ingredients to work on the surface layers of the skin. Depending on the formulation and how it is used, a peel can help to improve the appearance of:
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough or uneven texture
- Congestion
- The appearance of blemishes
- Visible pigmentation
- Fine lines and skin ageing
- Skin that lacks radiance
The most appropriate peel depends on your skin, your concerns, your medical history and what you are hoping to achieve.
A professional peel should always begin with a consultation. At EOS Aesthetics, we assess your skin and discuss your current skincare routine before recommending the most appropriate treatment.
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is a superficial salicylic acid peel designed to exfoliate the skin and leave it looking smoother, brighter and more refreshed.
It can be particularly useful when the skin appears dull or congested and can form part of a wider skincare programme.
Because it is a superficial peel, it is often suitable for people who want a treatment that fits relatively easily into their routine. Your practitioner will advise you about expected redness, peeling and aftercare according to your individual skin.
BioRePeel
BioRePeelCl3 is a professional peel containing a combination of active ingredients, including trichloroacetic acid (TCA), designed to exfoliate and support skin renewal.
It is used at EOS Aesthetics as part of an individualised treatment plan for concerns such as uneven texture, dullness and the appearance of pigmentation and blemishes.
One of the advantages of BioRePeel is that it can provide an exfoliating treatment without necessarily resulting in the more significant visible peeling that some people associate with traditional chemical peels.
However, every skin responds differently, and some temporary redness, sensitivity or peeling can occur.
Definisse Rinnova Peels
The Definisse Rinnova peel range offers different formulations that can be selected according to individual skin concerns.
These professional peels can be incorporated into a tailored programme to improve the appearance of skin texture, tone and radiance.
Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we select the most appropriate formulation and treatment plan following consultation.
So which peel is right for you?
There isn’t one chemical peel that is right for everyone.
Your skin may respond differently depending on factors such as:
- Your skin type and sensitivity
- Pigmentation and skin tone
- Current skincare products
- Whether you are experiencing congestion or blemishes
- Previous aesthetic treatments
- Your lifestyle and sun exposure
- Your desired outcome
At EOS Aesthetics, we can discuss your concerns and recommend the most appropriate option rather than simply selecting a peel based on its name.
Introducing Obagi Peel Pads – Professional Skincare at Home
We are also excited to introduce the new Obagi Peel Pads, designed to bring an exfoliating step into your home skincare routine.
These convenient pads provide a simple way to incorporate targeted exfoliation into your regular skincare regime and can be particularly useful for maintaining that fresh, smooth-looking appearance between professional treatments.
They are designed for home use and are not a replacement for a professional chemical peel. Instead, they can form part of a broader skincare programme, alongside products selected for your individual needs.
As with any active skincare product, it is important to introduce exfoliating products appropriately. Your practitioner can advise you on how and when to use the pads, particularly if you are already using active ingredients such as retinoids or other exfoliating products.
Professional treatments and homecare work together
One of the most important aspects of good skin health is consistency.
A professional peel can provide a more intensive treatment, while appropriate homecare helps you maintain a consistent skincare routine between appointments.
At EOS Aesthetics, we can combine professional treatments with personalised homecare to create a programme that works with your skin rather than against it.
And remember: daily broad-spectrum SPF is essential, particularly when using exfoliating products or undergoing professional peel treatments.
Is a chemical peel suitable for you?
A consultation is the best place to start.
We will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and review your current skincare before recommending whether a peel is appropriate for you and which option may be most suitable.
Chemical peels are not suitable for everyone, and treatment may need to be modified or postponed depending on your skin condition, medications, recent treatments and other individual factors.
If you’re looking for brighter, smoother, healthier-looking skin, a tailored peel programme may be worth exploring.
Book a consultation with EOS Aesthetics to discuss which peel and skincare programme could be appropriate for your skin.
