Chemical Peels

Did you know that here at Aloe Vera Dental Studio, we offer Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are a great way to diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

They smooth and soften the skin and increase hydration and suppleness.

Chemical Peels also have the ability to balance irregular skin tones and improve oily/acne prone skin.

In many cases, when a higher percentage of acid is used, the appearance of acne scarring has also been improved.

A bit More about the Peel’s that we use here at Aloe Vera Dental Studio;

· The Strength of the Peels are Superficial—Medium.

· The acid is neutralised at the end of the treatment, this enables the doctor to have maximum control over the peel procedure.

· This technique gives the doctor the ability to design a treatment plan to meet individual needs.

· There is Minimum downtime. Often referred to as a ‘lunchtime peel’ Most people look and feel normal within a few hours to a day.

How many treatments are needed?

Usually 4-6 treatments are required at three to four week intervals, to achieve the desired effect, although every patient is different.

This can be discussed in your appointment with the doctor.

Skin mistakes to avoid!

Be good to your skin. You'll wear it everyday for the rest of your life!

We thought we'd put together a list of common skin care mistakes, to save you the job of making them. Some may be very obvious, others a little less so!

1. Ditch the make-up wipes

Make- up wipes fail to clean your skin properly, and tend to just push dirt around your face. They are also really bad for the environment. Instead, invest in face cloths or flannels (one for each day of the week) so that you can pop them in the wash bin after each use. There are some beautiful cleansers on the market too, which suit all budgets and skin types.

2. Not wearing SPF daily, all year round and applying enough

Most people wouldn't think to apply SPF in the winter because its cold... but the sun can still damage and age your skin whatever the weather. Introduce an SPF into your daily morning routine and protect yourself all year round.

We love this SPF 50 by La Roche- Posay 💚

 3. Over scrubbing or over exfoliating your skin

Chemical exfoliates are much better than physically scrubbing your face. Also you should only exfoliate twice per week.

4. Not addressing lifestyle and diet

For good skin, you need to start on the inside.

5. Using dirty make-up brushes

Use a daily brush cleanser to keep your brushes clean and free from bacteria - especially on your foundation brush.

6. Don't go to bed with make-up on

This is a big no-no! At the very minimum take the time to remove all make-up, leaving your skin clean, clear and breathable!

7. Not Moisturising oily skin

It is vital that even oily skin gets moisture because without it, skin will over compensate for the loss of hydration with more oil production, leading to breakouts and uneven skin texture.

8. Using too many over-drying acne-fighting products

You will strip your skin of essential natural oils.
