Chemical peels are a more traditional skin treatment which is designed to exfoliate the skin through application of acid-based products.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The objective is to improve the skin’s condition and complexion by removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, oil and grime.<\/p>\n

They have been popular for a number of years, but at Quinn Clinics, we no longer offer chemical peels<\/strong>. The simple reason is that technological advancements mean that there are now treatments that are superior to peels in a number of ways:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Safer<\/strong> – high tech facials such as HydraFacial offer ‘no downtime’ results with very little risk at all. They are much safer than using chemicals and produce an instant glow without fear of redness or peeling at all. More intensive treatments may have short term side effects such as redness or peeling; but these tend to be more predictable and even than can be the case with peels<\/li>\n
  2. Effective\u00a0<\/strong>– treatments such as laser\/IPL, CO2 or fractional radiofrequency can offer excellent results in improving the condition of the skin. The results are intensive and rival those of ‘deep’ peels with reduced risk and downtime<\/li>\n
  3. Versatile<\/strong> – just as peels come in a variety of strengths, the range of high tech facials and treatments offers options to work at every level, from a quick refresher to in-depth treatment with significant results<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
