If you're looking for glowing, clear and bright skin with an even skin tone then a peel is a great way to get started - and it's suitable for both male and females.

Our professional Sothys Glysalac chemical peel is a treatment that provides a customised programme for each individual to achieve subtle gradual or astonishing transformations.

I truly believe if you exfoliate the skin correctly, it can start to repair, rebuild and renew and you will achieve long lasting beautiful skin. This is not to be confused with a peel that causes irritation and inflammation - these peels will give lovely skin temporarily; my goal is to transform your skin for the rest of your life safely and correctly without compromising the integrity of the fundamental of your skin's anatomy. Peels are designed to renew and revitalise skin while improving fine lines, imperfections and discolouration.

A chemical peel uses a solution to improve the skin's appearance. It can reduce or eliminate fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth, correct uneven skin pigmentation, removes excess sebum causing acne and even treat acne scars. The procedure itself can be done on the face, décolletage and back acne. Coming close to the summer is a great time to treat your back to a peel as it will improve the skin before the summer clothes are out. The procedure usually starts with examining the skin to decide the best programme for your skin's needs. We often have more than one issue going on with the skin at the same time. It's important to target each issue and decide which is the most important one and the schedule required for results. Dryness, oiliness and sensitivity are a few issues. You can't treat all of these at the same time so a programme for results needs to be put in place. A course of facials is required for best results with a fantastic homecare routine.
