Chemical Peels

As your skin ages, the cells within it don’t function as uniformly as they did when you were younger. In addition, the amount of collagen and elastin – responsible for keeping your skin plump – decrease with time. Fourways Aesthetic Centre offers various chemical skin peels best suited to your skin’s needs.

Chemical peel treatments exfoliate a fine layer of dead cells from your skin’s surface. As a result, the underlying skin cells are stimulated to function better and leave your skin healthier and fuller-looking.

Chemical skin peels address the following concerns:

• Dull skin tone
• Pigmentation problems
• Uneven texture
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne and acne scarring
• Poor hydration

Chemical peels leave the skin feeling clean and supple. Generally, a course of six treatments is recommended for optimal results. However, Dr Bart will recommend the best course of treatment for your skin, based on your goals. After a chemical skin peel treatment, an antioxidant product is applied to the skin, followed by a high-quality moisturizer and sunscreen.

Neostrata ProSystem® superficial peels, often referred to as ‘lunchtime peels’ are short procedures provided by a clinician.

Neostrata ProSystem® uses three different alpha hydroxyl acids, (AHAs) found naturally occurring in fruits and other foods;

• Glycolic acid    – Sugar cane
• Citric acid        – Citrus fruits
• Mandelic acid  – Almonds

Neostrata ProSystem® AHA peels have the advantage of being non toxic and they require little recovery time. Usually done in a series of controlled treatments, AHA peels are often  comparable in their results to some deeper peels without the complications.

Many common skin conditions are caused by  a build up of excess dead skin cells which cause the  skin to appear dull and are the  cause of clogged pores. AHA’s help to remove the dead   surface layers, exfoliate and smooth the surface of the skin as well as providing deeper antiaging effects

NeoStrata ProSystem Retinol Peel

NeoStrata ProSystem Retinol Peel is an advanced, physician-strength peel that contains 3% Retinol plus a Retinol Boosting Complex(TM) to exfoliate and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, help reduce acne, and improve skin laxity while promoting a bright, even and clear complexion.

Ideal as a cosmetic procedure for aging skin, acne and photo damage, the peel contains an innovative blend of scientifically proven ingredients to complement the 3% Retinol:

•NeoCitriate® – Targets collagen for anti-aging smoothing effects.
•Aminofil® – A novel amino acid derivative that helps enhance collagen and hyaluronic acid to smooth lines and wrinkles
•Bisabolol – A botanical derived from chamomile that helps calm skin
•Vitamin E – Gives skin an antioxidant boost and protects from free radicals

You can expect moderate flaking for three to five days as old, dull layers of skin are shed. We recommend moisturizing and protecting skin post-peel with NeoStrata products.
