Professional Skin Peel
Professional Skin Peel
Our professional skin peels deliver proven results in skin regeneration and are one of the most requested medical cosmetic treatments in the UK. Professional skin peel treatments work by removing the superficial layers of skin whilst also stimulating production of the body’s own source of collagen – resulting in a smoother, brighter and more rejuvenated appearance.
Professional skin peels can address concerns such as acne, sun damage, pigmentation, fine line and wrinkles. The effects from the professional skin peel can last up to six months.
We use AlumierMD for our professional skin peel treatments. Created by a team of experienced PhD biochemists, physicians and skin care specialists using innovative ingredients to target a variety of skin concerns such as acne, acne scarring, pigmentation, large pores and dull skin. Used alongside the AlumierMD home skincare products we can tailor a treatment plan based on your skin concerns.
At Skin Within Aesthetics our aim is to provide our patients with expert knowledge and guidance regarding their skin concerns so they feel 100% confident when making their choices.
In your consultation we will talk you through a full and thorough discussion of your concerns, needs and expected results allowing us to create a bespoke treatment plan for you. A detailed medical history will be completed and every aspect of your treatment will be discussed ensuring complete confidence in your chosen treatments.
