#1 They’re fast

Peels are generally done quickly and are pain-free which take only about 30 minutes. This literally means you can be in and out of your doctor’s office with time left to get a quick bite over lunch.

#2 It’s as relaxing as getting a facial

As quick as a peel could be, it can also be as calming and relaxing as any other facial. In fact one of the popular hybrid facials that can be found at SW1 is a Milk Peel, which uses a customised blend of fruit acids to exfoliate and uncover the glow from under your skin.

Medium-depth peels may cause some downtime and you may notice skin starting to peel or flake a day or two afterwards. Such peels are great for those looking to treat acneic or discolored skin, and even those who are concerned with facial scars, sun damage or uneven skin tones.

Deep peels are great for those who have severe wrinkles, loss of elasticity, deep scars and aging skin. But such peels are normally done under sedation and could involve up to two weeks of down time.

#4 Say hello to glowing skin

Without a doubt, face peels are a wonderful way to kickstart your glow in lacklustre skin. Despite the mild flaking to be expected with some peels, skin regains an enviable glow leaving many hard to put their finger on. Even something as mild as Sleep Mode which you can use in the comfort of your own home just before you go to bed. By working to increase the natural rate of skin exfoliation while you sleep, you can be sure to wake up to brighter, clearer skin.

#5 It helps other skincare products work better

Because the acids in peels help to lift away dead cells, they essentially are removing a layer of skin, which can help your products penetrate deeper.  By removing this layer of skin, it signals to the living cells below to move up and increase their collagen production, which in turn increase the production of hyaluronic acid to plump the skin, and helps to create a smoother, more radiant appearance.
