AHA Peels
AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) peels offer remarkable skin rejuvenation benefits. These peels, typically formulated with glycolic acid or lactic acid, effectively exfoliate the skin, promoting cellular turnover and revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. AHA peels target various skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. They stimulate collagen production, leading to improved skin elasticity and texture.
What is an AHA Peel?
AHA peels are chemical peels that utilize Alpha Hydroxy Acids as the main active ingredients. These acids, such as glycolic acid and lactic acid, gently exfoliate the outermost layers of your skin, promoting cellular turnover and revealing a smoother, more youthful appearance. AHA peels are milder compared to other types of peels as it works superficially in the epidermis, making them suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or those seeking a gentler approach to skin rejuvenation.
Indications and Benefits of AHA Peels:
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: AHA peels are effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The exfoliating action of the peels stimulates collagen production and helps improve skin firmness and elasticity. Over time, this can lead to smoother, plumper skin and a reduction in the visible signs of aging.
Uneven Skin Tone and Texture: AHA peels are beneficial for improving skin tone and texture. By removing dead skin cells and promoting cellular renewal, the peels help to smooth out roughness, minimize pore size, and refine the overall appearance of the skin. They can also help fade superficial pigmentation irregularities, resulting in a more even complexion.
Sun Damage: AHA peels can effectively address sun damage, including sunspots and discoloration caused by prolonged sun exposure. The exfoliation provided by the peels helps to remove the damaged outer layers of skin, revealing healthier, more radiant skin underneath. With regular treatments, you can achieve a brighter, more youthful-looking complexion.
Acne and Acne Scarring: AHA peels can help improve acne-prone skin by exfoliating the skin's surface and unclogging pores. By removing dead skin cells and excess oil, the peels can reduce the occurrence of breakouts. They can also improve the appearance of superficial acne scars, promoting a smoother skin texture.

Treatment Process
During your consultation, you skin will be assessed to determine the appropriate strength and depth of the AHA peel for your unique needs. The peel will be applied to your skin, and you may experience a mild tingling or warmth during the procedure. You will be monitored during the the peel to ensure it is tailored to your comfort level and desired outcome and it will be neutralised when the end point is achieved.
After the AHA peel, your skin may appear slightly red and feel slightly tighter, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal response and should subside within a few hours to a day. It is important to follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by our aesthetic doctor, including gentle skincare practices and the use of sunscreen to protect your newly revealed skin.
