Overview
Chemical peels use carefully selected acid solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing fresher, clearer skin beneath. At CARA Medical Aesthetics, we offer a range of professional-grade peels tailored to your skin type and concerns, from gentle superficial peels for brightening to medium-depth peels for more significant skin renewal.
How It Works
After a thorough skin assessment, your therapist will select the most appropriate peel solution for your concerns. The solution is applied to cleansed skin and left for a specific duration before being neutralised or removed. You may feel a tingling or warm sensation during application. The skin then goes through a controlled renewal process over the following days.
