The Science behind skin peels
A chemical peel is a resurfacing treatment, that uses active ingredients in a chemical solution. It is applied on your skin to remove the superficial layers of the existing skin to promote the growth of new, smoother, healthier skin.
There are 3 types of peels: superficial, medium and deep peels.
Superficial and medium peels are considered very safe treatments, with very low risk and proven results, as long as they are performed by a trained, qualified professional.
Deeper peels, penetrate deeper layers of your skin. The results are longer term versus the superficial and medium ones, but they require a recovery period and significant down time and come with more risks.
​
Here at Alison Miller Skincare & Aesthetics we offer superficial and medium skin peels.
​
Alison has been carrying out skin peels for over ten years and works with the industries' leading skincare brands which excel in the chemical peel formulations - maximising your results and safety.
What chemical is used in a Skin Peel?
Common acids used in professional skincare peels are glycolic acid (AHA), salicylic acid (BHA) and lactic acid (AHA). All these are considered superficial chemical peels and deemed to be safe to most skin types. We also use mandelic and azeleic acid, sometimes a blend is applied to address a specific skin concern.
​
They all sound very chemically complex substances, but there are few interesting facts to know before getting worried. Glycolic acid is an anti-ageing hero derived from sugarcane. Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble acid, naturally found in willow tree. Lactic acid can be naturally found in our muscles, is a by-product of the anaerobic respiration, produced by bacteria in yogurt and our guts.

Alison carefully chooses the best ingredients for your skin peel following an in depth skin consultation and analysis.
