Chemical Peels

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is most commonly performed for cosmetic reasons, to enhance appearance and self-confidence. Chemical peel therapy may be performed in conjunction with other treatments. However a chemical peel is not a substitute for a facelift, and does not prevent or slow the ageing process.

Chemical peeling uses a chemical solution in order to improve the skin's appearance. It can reduce or eliminate fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth, correct uneven skin pigmentation, treat acne and soften the appearance of scars caused by acne.  The procedure can also reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by sun damage as well as skin blemishes common with age and heredity. Chemical peels can be performed on the face, hands, and all other body areas.

Lesley uses Neostrata glycolic acid peels in four concentrations (20%, 35%, 50% 70%) as part of the skin Rejuvenation System.

For best results the skin needs to be primed with Neostrata products, especially a high factor sun screen for 2 - 3 weeks before the peel.

For best results it is usual to have a course of at least 4 - 10 peel procedures. These procedures can be done in your lunch break. Your skin will only have a mild pink glow for the rest of the day.

Lesley also uses TCA peels (trichloroacetic acid).

Unless you have hyperpigmented skin or acne you may not need to prepare the skin prior to use and usually need a course of weekly peels for  four weeks. Depending on the results you require you may need two or more courses to reach the desired result. These are slightly deeper peels but can still be done in your lunch hour.

MICRO NEEDLING

The MNS Roller is a barrel-like roller with 200 tiny micro needles that are thinner than your own hair!  When the needles are rolled across the skin, hundreds of microscopic 'pin pricks' are created.  As your skin heals underneath, it uses your own collagen to fill the 'valleys' of wrinkles and scars naturally without removing the top layer of skin.  Collagen is what your body produces to keep your skin young and healthy.

Micro needling is a natural skin rejuvenation method that fills and softens wrinkles and scars.  It does not use chemicals, fillers, injections, or lasers.  The MNS Roller doesn't burn your skin (IPL/laser), dissolve it (chemical peel) or abrade and scrape it (dermabrasion).  The MNS Roller does not inject serums or solutions; it only permits deeper infusion of topical applications (e.g. peptides, anti-oxidants, hyaluronic acid and hair growth formulas) thereby increasing the product effectiveness. 

How does it work?

The concept behind needling is the stimulation of new collagen production in your skin.  The needle breaks the skin and causes micro-trauma and micro-inflammation.  Your body responds by sending blood to the area for healing.  As your skin repairs itself, new collagen builds up just below the surface.  The wrinkles, lines, or depressed scars plump from the bottom-up without the use of anything artificial.  Repeated needling sessions gradually and continually build new collagen to fill the treated areas. 

The gentle stimulus provided by Micro Needling is far more 'skin friendly' and thus far more effective than many other more invasive and more expensive treatments.  Micro-channels seal within hours after application: long enough for new collagen-structures to form within the lower layers of the skin and short enough to allow you to resume normal schedules quickly.

This appears to be the end of the story.  But it isn't.  Underneath the skin's surface, mush more is going on.  In fact, the healing response which begins immediately upon the injury kick-starts a healing process that last for several months, and up to a year.  This natural healing process is where all the magic happens. 


SESHA SKIN THERAPY

With Sesha’s PET technology (permeation enhancement technology), vitamins and antioxidants are safely transported to where they are needed most-below the skins surface. Moreover with Sesha the quality and quantity of the structure of the cells actually changes to that of younger skin and uses a network of powerful antioxidants such as Vit A,B,C and E as building blocks to help defy skin damage. This is why Sesha does not need to utilise chemicals to strip the outer layers of the skin to stimulate growth.
