An AHA Peel is a gentle skin treatment designed to help reveal a brighter, smoother and more even-looking complexion.
Using a carefully selected blend of naturally derived acids - including glycolic acid (from sugar cane) and lactic acid (from milk) - the treatment gently dissolves the bonds that hold dull, dead skin cells together. The result? Fresh, refined skin that glows.
“ Suitable for all skin types, AHA peels are an excellent option for addressing uneven tone, congestion, dehydration, fine lines and coarse texture. ”
What can I expect during treatment?
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and prepped before the peel solution is carefully applied. You may experience a mild tingling or warmth as the peel works - this is completely normal. Your clinician will monitor your skin throughout and neutralise the peel at the right time to ensure your comfort and safety. A soothing post-treatment routine is applied to calm and protect the skin before you leave.
What to expect post-treatment?
Your skin may appear slightly flushed and feel more sensitive immediately after your peel. Over the following days, you may notice some mild dryness or light flaking or peeling as your skin renews itself. Avoid picking or forcing any peeling skin. Results continue to improve with a course of treatments, and individual results may vary.
FAQs
To prepare your skin and maximise results, your clinician will advise on any adjustments to your skincare routine in the lead-up to your treatment. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup. Avoid recent sun exposure, waxing or resurfacing treatments before your appointment. Your clinician will provide a personalised pre-care plan at your consultation.
After your peel, keep your skin calm and protected. Use gentle, hydrating products and apply a broad-spectrum SPF every day - this is essential. Avoid heat, vigorous exercise, direct sun exposure and active skincare ingredients for at least 24-48 hours. Your clinician will send you home with a tailored post-care guide.
Most clients experience a mild tingling or warmth during the treatment, which is temporary and settles quickly. Your clinician will check in with you throughout to make sure you’re comfortable, and the peel is neutralised as soon as the desired endpoint is reached.
AHA peel appointments typically take between 45-60 minutes from start to finish, including skin preparation and post-treatment care.
AHA peels are not recommended during pregnancy. Please advise your clinician of any changes to your health or medical status before booking, so we can recommend the most appropriate treatment for you at this time.
