MEDICAL SKIN PEEL

Peel including skin care products for use before and after treatment: starting at £160.00. Peels can be tailor made to suit your skin.

The Medical Skin Peel used by Evergreen is the Lifestyle Aesthetics Peel formerly known as Jessner's Peel. The LA and its variants have been used for over a century. The peel is carried out by Nurse Practitioners and Doctors.

Anti-aging: The LA Peel smoothes and rejuvenates sun-damaged skin and can treat pigmentation. Wrinkles and open pores can be treated. Your skin after a peel will feel smoother, rejuvenated and more even tone. Collagen and elastin are stimulated and cellular turnover increased. Skin hydration is improved.

Problematic: Acne breakouts can be prevented and open pores can be treated. Salicylic acid stimulates the elimination of wastes. Scarring can be treated and a smoother, brighter skin with more even tone achieved.

A client will be given a full consultation. Prior to a peel the client is required to use a skin-care pack called Theraderm for 2-3 weeks. Theraderm prepares the skin for the peel. At the treatment session, the skin is cleansed and the peel applied in layers. A gel is applied after the peel that soothes and hydrates the skin, healing is enhanced and damaged collagen is repaired and restored. In two to three days the skin starts to flake. NuPeel is a product that can be applied to help with the flaking.

The face, neck, hands and upper chest can all be treated.
Our nurse will assess the results and confirm if and when another peel is required.

What is the Lifestyle Aesthetics Peel

The LA Peel is a solution of three different peeling agents in an ethanol base.
Resorcinol
Lactic Acid
Salicylic Acid

Resorcinol helps to provide a numbing effect and increases the depth of penetration of the lactic acid and salicylic acid.

Lactic acid has a natural moisturizing effect on the skin and enhances the evenness of the peel.

Salicylic acid penetrates directly into the skin follicles, being absorbed into the broad skin surface. Salicylic acid stimulates the elimination of wastes.
