Brighter, clearer skin
Chemical peels are gentle treatments that instantly leave your skin visibly refreshed, clearer and more radiant. These peels can also treat minor scars and blemishes, stretch marks, sun damage, and marks caused by conditions such as hypermelanosis.
We use two different peels with slightly different actions: ReLife Definisse Classic Peel and ReLife Definisse Lightening Peel. At your consultation, your doctor will assess which peel is more suitable for your needs.
The treatment process step-by-step
Step 1
This treatment takes about 30 minutes, which includes a detailed consultation with your doctor.
Step 2
First, we apply a pre-peel, applied with a cotton gauze pad.
Step 3
Next, a chemical peel, applied with a flat-headed brush and left on for two minutes.
Step 4
Finally, a neutralising buffer, applied to the treated area to neutralise the chemical peel and maintain the skin’s natural pH balance.
