What it is
Peels are how we reach the surface layers — for congestion, pigmentation, and the inflammation that sits beneath active acne. The right peel done at the right depth is one of the most effective tools in clinical aesthetics.
Wrong peel, wrong skin: a setback. We assess carefully.
Inside this treatment
#brightening
Brightening peels
Tyrosinase-inhibiting formulations target pigmentation specifically. Used alongside daily SPF and a pigment-suppressing home regimen, they lift sun spots, post-acne marks, and melasma over a properly spaced series.
#carbon-peel
Hollywood carbon peel
Carbon paste applied to the skin, then targeted with a Q-switched laser. The carbon absorbs into pores and surface oil and is vaporised by the laser — decongesting pores and giving the surface a polished finish.
No downtime. Often booked the week of an event.
