Category: Chemical Peels

We use Alumier MD here at Surrey Laser Clinic and the benefits of a skin peel are incredible.

Firstly let me tell you a bit about Alumier, specifically the peels –
AlumierMD’s skin peels are designed to help with skin concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.

These peels typically contain a combination of acids and other active ingredients that help exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall skin health and appearance.

Are there different types of Skin peels?
The solution contains chemicals, treatments come in different depths – from light to deep.

A light depth peel, or superficial skin peel, is the lowest level of treatment and removes the epidermis – the outer layer of the skin. This type of treatment is best-suited to fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, uneven
skin tone and small areas of acne.
A medium depth peel removes skin cells from the epidermis and the dermis – the middle layer of your skin. This type of peel can be used to treat the same concerns as a light chemical peel but is also effective at minimising acne scarring.
Finally, a deep skin peel removes the most amount of skin cells and is used for deep wrinkles, aged scarring and even pigmentation.

How does it work?
Skin peels are a non-invasive way to rejuvenate the skin. After Skin cleansing and enhancing the treatment with a hydrating mask, you will feel a tingling sensation due to the activity of the hydrating mask.

We use a soft brush to apply the chemical solution, which is made up of a gentle and unique blend of acids, this gives a mild tingling and sensation of warmth.

Followed by a neutralising process to restore natural skin PH level with a
gentle massage with Alumier MD Recovery Balm and of course SPF Protection with Physical Sunscreen.

Alumier Skin Peels provides an effective way to improve the look and feel of your skin. It also helps to gently exfoliate the skin’s top damaged layers, leaving your complexion fresh, renewed and radiant.

Are there different types of Skin peels? As the solution contains chemicals, treatments come into different depths from light to deep.   A light depth peel, or superficial skin peel, is the lowest level of treatment and removes the epidermis – the outer layer of the skin. This type of treatment is best-suited to fine lines and wrinkles, dryness, uneven skin toneand small areas of acne. A medium depth chemical peel removes skin cells from the epidermis and the dermis – the middle layer of your skin. This type of peel can be used to treat the same concerns as a light chemical peel but is also effective at minimising acne scarring. Finally, a deep skin peel removes the most amount of skin cells and is used for deep wrinkles, aged scarring and even pigmentation. How does it work? Skin peels are a non-invasive way to rejuvenate the skin. We typically use a soft brush to apply the chemical solution, which is made up of glycolic or salicylic acid. This gentle and unique blend of acids provides an effective peel to improve the look and feel of your skin. It also helps to gently exfoliate the skin’s top damaged layers, leaving your complexion fresh, renewed and radiant.

What Is The Purpose Of A Chemical Peel?

Here at Surrey Laser clinic one of the most effective non-invasive treatments we provide is a chemical peel. It is easy to perform as our technicians have some of the most in-depth training with Alumier. Once we have identified from a skin consultation the type of peel that will best suit your needs, we can then tailor a peel treatment to achieve your goals.

A chemical peel is a skincare treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove the uppermost layers. This procedure is designed to improve the appearance and texture of the skin, making it smoother, more even-toned, and glowing. Some of the benefits of a chemical peel on your face include:

1. Reducing fine lines and wrinkles: Chemical peel treatments can stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that helps keep the skin firm and elastic. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. At Surrey Laser we get fantastic results with anti-ageing using peels.
2. Treating acne: Chemical peels can help eliminate acne by removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. They can also decrease the severity of acne scars.
3. Reducing hyperpigmentation: Chemical peels can even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots caused by sun damage, aging, or hormone fluctuations.
4. Smoothing rough texture: Chemical peels can improve the texture of the skin by sloughing off rough, uneven areas and revealing smoother, softer skin.
5. Boosting radiance: By removing dead skin cells and stimulating cell turnover, chemical peels can help make the skin look brighter and more radiant.
6. Minimising the appearance of pores: Chemical peels can help tighten and shrink pores, making them less visible and more refined.

What is the purpose of a chemical peel?

The purpose of a chemical face peel is to exfoliate the top layer of skin, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion. It can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, such as:

1. Acne
2. Fine lines and wrinkles
3. Sun damage
4. Hyperpigmentation
5. Uneven skin texture

There are different strengths of chemical peels, ranging from mild to deep. The type of peel used will depend on the specific skin concerns being treated and the individual’s skin type and sensitivity.

How long do the benefits of a chemical peel last?

The benefits of a chemical peel can last anywhere from a few weeks up to several months, depending on the type and strength of the peel, as well as the individual’s skin type and condition. Deeper peels may provide more dramatic results but also require longer recovery time and may only need to be done once or twice a year, while milder peels may need to be done more frequently to maintain the desired level of results. Proper skin care and sun protection can also help prolong the benefits of a chemical peel.

What Is A Chemical Peel?

We have started offering Chemical Peels in the last 18 months with great success. We partner with Alumier who are a professional product brand an have trained the team to perform high grade professional chemical peels to get fantastic results.

A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin in order to exfoliate or peel away the outermost layer of dead, damaged, or discoloured skin. This process can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.

Types of Chemical Peels

A glow peel is a type of chemical peel that uses a combination of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) to exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover. This treatment helps to reveal brighter, smoother, and more even-toned skin, giving it a youthful and radiant glow. Glow peels are commonly used to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging, and can be customized to suit individual skincare needs.

AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) peels are water-soluble acids derived from fruits and milk. They are effective in exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin and improving skin texture and tone. AHAs work well for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.

On the other hand, BHA (beta hydroxy acid) or salicylic acid peels are oil-soluble acids commonly used for acne-prone skin. They penetrate through the oil in the skin to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and improve the texture of the skin. Salicylic acid is also anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory, which makes it effective in treating acne.

The main difference between AHA and BHA peels is that AHAs work on the surface of the skin while BHAs penetrate deeper into the skin. AHAs are best suited for treating hyperpigmentation, while BHAs work better for acne, blackheads, and oily skin. Both types of peels can improve skin texture, tone, and appearance when used correctly.

An enzyme peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses natural enzymes from fruits and other plants to exfoliate and improve the texture of the skin. These enzymes break down dead skin cells and unclog pores, leaving the skin smoother, brighter, and more even toned. Enzyme peels are gentler and less abrasive than traditional chemical or physical exfoliants and are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. They are often used to treat acne, fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, and to improve overall skin health and radiance.
