Summer is in our line of sight, and there’s no better way to hit the refresh button than with a facial peel. Non-invasive TCA peels are gentle yet purposeful, revealing a youthful complexion, improving skin tone and texture, diminishing light wrinkles and fine lines, and reducing skin discolouration, freckles and even age spots.

Chemical peels may have received bad press in the 1990s when they first stepped into the limelight with many people citing red, irritated effects. Fast-forward a few decades, and this cosmetic appearance medicine treatment has well and truly moved on from its yesteryear reputation. This gentle treatment uses trichloroacetic acid to remove dead skin cells and stimulate new cell growth and aid certain skin conditions such as acne scarring and melasma. The results hone smoother and revived looking skin.

And, for those looking to undo sun damage, TCA peels also work as a post-sun treatment, combating the damaging effects of UV rays and accumulated sun exposure. They exfoliate away dull and dead skin cells, light wrinkles and fine lines, reducing discoloration and ridding age spots.

Undergoing a gentle TCA peel in winter or spring, means there are fewer harmful UV rays touching down on our skin which can quickly damage healthy and regenerated new skin. And, because of reduced daylight hours during the cooler months we’re not accumulating sun damage – brown spots, tan lines, heat rashes – like we do in summer, so the skin is much more settled pre- and post-treatment.

Swing into summer fresh faced and renewed, reach out to our team of appearance medicine experts to learn more about this gentle cosmetic procedure.
