Neostrata Glycolic Peel are light peels containing AHA or Alpha Hydroxy Acids. AHA’s work by penetrating though the skins surface and dissolving the fatty bonds that hold dead skin cells together, we then neutralise the peel and your skin will be refreshed. There is minimal recovery time and they can even be done during your lunch hour!

  • Are safe and require little recovery time
  • Improve acne prone skin
  • Help reverse sun damage
  • Very good in reduction of small wrinkles and acne scars

  • Reduce the appearance of pore size
  • Soften fine lines and wrinkles

Initially after your peel your skin may be red, you may experience some of the following:

  • Stinging
  • Itching
  • Slight discomfort
  • Dryness
  • Tightness
  • Sun sensitivity
  • Peeling of the outer superficial layer after 2-3 days after the procedure, though very minimal

  • Avoid hot showers and saunas
  • Avoid using any products with active ingredients like retinol, salicylic acid etc.
  • You should not have any further facial treatments for two weeks
  • Wash treated areas very gently
  • If your skin is sensitive avoid, make up
  • Avoid sun exposure for at least a month after the procedure
  • Do Not- peel, pick, scratch or scrape the skin
  • DO not use a face mask
  • Moisturise well after the following day after treatment

We also strongly advise all clients to use a strong sun screen as glycolic acid can make your skin photo sensitive, which means that you have a strong chance of sun burn.

Although most patients have no side effects, the following are a risk:

  • An acne flares up can be possible due to deep pore cleansing
  • Herpes (cold sore) break out can occur- though this can be avoided if you advise us that you are prone to cold sores.
  • Acne like inflammation around the mouth (perioral Dermatitis)

Recommended a course of 3 to 6 treatments at 3 weeks’ interval (depends on skin condition).
