Chemical Peels in Edinburgh

Our peels are formulated to use very high concentrations of active ingredients, and are plant-based, glycolic free, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral, and are said to increase the natural moisture factor of the skin.

Our peels are designed to stimulate change in the skin without causing massive destruction to it. The manufacturers claim to have produced a range of chemical peeling agents which penetrate into the skin more slowly, causing less pain and trauma but still producing results and avoiding common side effects such as a layer of brown, dead skin on the surface post-treatment, or hyperpigmentation and scarring.

A cocktail of antioxidant AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) included in the CosMedix range are claimed to increase skin cell turnover and protect the cells from free radical damage. The most significant of the ingredients used in our peels is L-Retinol AGP Complex.
Cosmedix
This is a chirally corrected version of retinol (vitamin A) that converts to trans-retinoic acid once absorbed into the skin. As a result, it is far less irritating than traditional Retin-A (retinoic acid). According to the manufacturers, the L-Retinol AGP Complex repairs damaged DNA, stimulates collagen and elastin, increases cell turnover and resurfaces the skin.

Most clients have a course of 4–6, spaced a few weeks apart. We confirm a realistic plan at your consultation.

ou may feel mild tingling or warmth during the peel. Some light flaking or redness can follow for around 1–3 days. We give you full aftercare guidance for your skin.

Light flaking often starts around day three and settles within a week. Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin within a couple of weeks, with tone and texture continuing to improve over a course. Individual results vary.
