Chemical peel treatment

Peels can dramatically improve the texture and tone of your skin, as well as help clear up certain existing skin conditions. You don’t need to be bothered by the appearance of your tired, dull, dry, blemished, ageing skin when you look in the mirror. Why not treat yourself to a radiant skin boost?

We use the medically licensed SkinMed Enerpeel®.

What are EnerPeels?

Enerpeel® skin peels don’t peel they remodel! Enerpeel® delivers treatment ingredients deep into the skin,
remodelling without excessive exfoliation and surface trauma. Enerpeel® also delivers skin treatment
ingredients deep into the skin to target various skin conditions while surface redness (erythema), discomfort,
flaking and peeling are reduced.
The Enerpeel® emphasis is on remodelling, restructuring, rejuvenating, reducing sun and age damage and
controlling skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, thread veins, pigmentation of various types while also
delivering an even toned, bright skin while ensuring you can carry on with life as normal.
The Different Enerpeel® systems contain specific ingredient combinations to target the active treatment
components to each individual skin condition. The whole Enerpeel® range contains the ingredient MSM
which has shown to promote normal healing and to restrict chemicals that may cause irregular or abnormal
healing. It also has calming properties and reduces irritation making the clinical experience much more
comfortable.

 

How do they work?

ENERPEEL® is a carrier solution which restrains the key ingredients and their strength of activity and can be
adjusted to release the ingredients at the desired skin depth for maximal results. However, this is not a
buffered peel. This mechanism of action minimises surface trauma which can cause reddening, frosting,
peeling and downtime, but maximises the activity in the skin to promote improved skin structure and
function. Ultimately, the ENERPEEL® system aims to correct many skin issues efficiently and far more
effectively than standard peels by triggering gene expression of matrix remodelling components.

  • DURATION OF RESULTS
  • WHAT TO EXPECT
  • RISKS
  • AFTERCARE

Your appointment will last for approximately 30 minutes.

The skin will be thoroughly cleansed prior to treatment. We use a preparation wipe, the peel is applied using a small brush. Each peel will have a maximum number of layers to work up to and different processing times. The peel is then removed using a remover wipe and SPF is applied.

You’ll probably want to consider taking 24 hours of downtime immediately after your peel treatment, and then perhaps a bit longer if your skin begins the peeling process. The peeling process should be over within seven days.

How long will the results last?
This all depends on a number of factors
Type of peel
If you have used skin preparatory products
If you use the aftercare products
Whether you’ve had a single treatment or a course of treatments
You would normally have a course of treatments to obtain a specific result. We would then discuss a maintenance program.

During the procedure the patient may feel a mild to moderate stinging sensation. The clinician will monitor
this and it is normal. With the milder peels you may not feel anything. If you are having a higher strength
peel then a stinging sensation can be expected. However it is not painful with discomfort scores typically ranging from 1 to 5 out of 10 depending on the individual. As all ENERPEEL® skin peels contain MSM, an anti-
inflammatory ingredient, it means that any stinging or uncomfortable sensations are controlled.

All treatments carry a degree of risk and complications; these will all be discussed with you when you have a
consultation prior to the treatment. Enerpeel technology not only improves results but also improves safety

To minimise issues, a skin assessment will be carried out to assess your skin type, to identify any
contraindications, to diagnose the skin condition and what peel to use depending on it for the type of skin
you have. Also this assessment will get your skin prepared appropriately and to ensure the right pre care and
after care is used to minimise issues and ensure that you get the best results safely.
The most common side effects are:

 Erythema  Dryness
 Itchiness  Tenderness
 Peeling  Swelling

All of these side effects are normally temporary and are usually settled in a couple of days depending on
which peel you have had.
Misusing peels can cause serious complications and side effects including:
 Skin damage
 Infection
 Scarring
 Increased or long-term sensitivity
 Altered pigmentation

After a peel you may notice that your skin is flushed, pink or red (almost like you have caught the sun that
day) and your skin may also feel dry or tight.

At or around day 3 post treatment you may experience some
slight peeling or flaking. This is to be expected and will last 1 – 2 days. It is possible that you may have no
peeling or flaking. If there is not peeling or flaking this does not mean that the peel is not working. The
Enerpeel® system is designed to remodel from within with as little downtime and surface trauma as possible.

The chance of all of side effects happening and how obvious they are all depends on the type of peel you
have had. The more high strength peels often show these side effects for a longer period of time as a
stronger acid will have been used.
To get you the best results from your peel and to help treat the side effects, you will be given skin
preparation products prior to you treatment and you will also receive aftercare products and a treatment
regime. All of these will be different depending on what peel you have had and your skin type.

It is important to wear SPF everyday post-procedure for at least 2 weeks and avoid products containing
Retinol, Glycolic or any other exfoliating ingredients for the first week post-procedure.
After most EnerPeels® you should be ok to apply your usual makeup the following day.
Avoid physical activity until the following day.

FAQS ABOUT PEELS

  • Your clinician will complete a skin assessment with you to decide whether you are suitable to have an
    EnerPeel® and to evaluate which EnerPeel® protocol would the best for you.
    We would not carry out an EnerPeel® if any of the below apply:
    If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
    If you are allergic to salicylic acid (aspirin) for salicylic containing peels only
    We may not peel in an area where there was active Herpes simplex (cold sores). Those prone to cold
    sores may be advised to use an anti-viral cream for a number of days before peeling that area.
    Recent Surgery (up to the last 6 months, although typically the clinician is looking to see skin has
    fully recovered from the procedure before peeling that area).
    Recent laser treatments (up to the last 6 months, although typically the clinician is looking to see
    skin has fully recovered from the procedure before peeling that area).
    Dermabrasion treatments and any other treatment that may alter or compromise the cutaneous
    structure (typically the clinician is looking to see skin has fully recovered from the procedure before
    peeling that area).
    Immunosuppressive diseases
    Previous radiotherapy of the skin portion to be the exfoliated that might compromise the
    physiological regeneration of the skin (peels are used by radio therapists as well, so this may vary
    depending on clinical need)
    Family history of developing keloid or hypertrophic scars (pre care treatment may mean peeling is
    possible for hypertrophic risk)
    Family history of developing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (pre care treatment and correct
    assessment and evaluation may mean peeling is possible)
    Other medical considerations

  • Essentially chemical peels will remodel your skin to make it smoother, more hydrated, fresher and younger-looking.

  • A full course of bespoke skin peels at our Suffolk skin clinic is usually 3-6 treatments, although you’ll start to notice results after the first peel.

  • The peeling process should take approximately a week.

  • Our retinol peels reduce fine lines and skin laxity, as do our TCA peels. They can also improve acne and skin tone.

  • Our salicylic acid peel will reduce skin inflammation, reduce oil, and remove bacteria; all in a bid to greatly improve the appearance of acne-covered skin.
