Chemical peels are gentle treatments that instantly leave your skin visibly refreshed, clearer and more radiant. These peels can also treat:

minor scars and blemishes

stretch marks

sun damage, and

marks caused by conditions such as hypermelanosis.

We use two different peels with slightly different actions. These are:

ReLife Definisse Classic Peel, and

ReLife Definisse Lightening Peel.

At your consultation, your doctor will assess which peel is more suitable for your needs.

Treatment plan:

For optimum results we recommend three treatments, one week apart. We normally recommend a top-up every 6 months after you have completed a full course of treatment.

Note:

If you have specific skin aftercare concerns, your doctor will be able to advise you.

This treatment takes about 30 minutes, which includes a detailed consultation with your doctor.

First, we apply a pre-peel, applied with a cotton gauze pad.

Next, a chemical peel, applied with a flat-headed brush and left on for two minutes.

Finally, a neutralising buffer, applied to the treated area to neutralise the chemical peel and maintain the skin’s natural pH balance.

You may experience some reddening of the skin. This should go away within a short while.

It is advisable not to apply makeup to the treated area for 24 hours or so.

For ongoing maintenance, we recommend one repeat session every 6 months.
