How Do Medical Peels Work?

Medical peels break down and remove the bonds holding the top layers of the skin together, eliminating damaged abnormal skin cells on the outer surface to reveal healthier skin cells underneath. Superficial imperfections like pigmentation marks may be removed during the procedure for a clearer complexion. The exfoliation process offered by the peel treatment also stimulates a controlled amount of inflammation and induces collagen remodelling, resulting in thicker, healthier skin over time and an improvement in your appearance overall.

Medical Peels Offered At Kaya Cosmedica

Selecting a medical peel is determined during an assessment by your practitioner and depends on your individual skin type, concerns and desired outcomes..

Originally derived from the willowbark plant, salicyclic is closely related to aspirin. The Salicylic Acid Peel is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) peel which will unclog deep pores, address whiteheads and blackheads, exfoliate the skin and provide potent anti-inflammatory effects to reduce redness and irritation. These qualities make this peel treatment the ideal selection for acneic and congested skin types as well as rosacea sufferers when used at lower concentrations.
