BALANCE PEEL
A mild but effective non-chemical peel, combining enzymes with peptides and hyaluronic acid to brighten, balance and calm skin. Perfect for anyone with unbalanced, sensitive, inflamed and acne-prone skin – it’s also completely safe during pregnancy.
This treatment can be tailored to include a mild chemical peel prior to application, to add in the benefits of glycolic acid and salicylic acid, but this is determined on a case-by-case basis following an in-person skincare consultation.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Following a double cleanse the enzyme peel is applied to the skin and left for 5-10 minutes. A cocktail of targeted skincare is then applied to cleansed skin, with the option to include antioxidants for dull skin, kojic acid for hyperpigmentation or high-strength retinol for acne and anti-ageing.
(retinol can only be applied from second treatment).
It is recommended not to use any retinoids or chemical exfoliators for three days prior.
Avoid strenuous exercise, hot showers, sauna, steam room, hot tub, etc. for 24 hours
Do not apply makeup for the rest of the day
Do not shave, wax, etc. for one week
No prescription retinoids (e.g. tretinoin, adapalene) for at least one month, or oral acne medication or steroids for at least six months prior to treatment.
