Beta Hydroxy Peels

A Beta Hydroxy Peel (or Salicylic Acid Peel) is a superficial, quick, no-downtime procedure that renews the skin by lifting dead cells off the surface of your skin and stimulating the metabolism of the cells underneath.

With a series of Beta Hydroxy Peels, you can quickly achieve substantial improvement in the appearance of superficial lines and uneven pigmentation, while making your skin look and feel softer, smoother, and more radiant. Acne scars and enlarged pores may become less noticeable, and acne breakouts may be reduced as Salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties.

questions

Are Beta Hydroxy Peels available at all Skin Renewal branches?
Who would benefit from exfoliation treatments with Beta Hydroxy Acid Chemical peels?

Many skin problems are associated with an excessive build-up of dead cells making the skin appear hardened and dull. Problems are exacerbated by exposure to the sun, pollution, and other environmental factors, leading to skin damage and disease.

  • Mild exfoliation treatments are usually suitable for all skin types including those patients with acne or sensitive skin.
  • All skin types can be treated
  • All age groups even the very young can be treated
  • All areas of the body can be treated
  • Patients with hormonal pigmentation problems such as melasma
  • Individuals who have sunspots, sun-damaged skin, dry, ageing skin, oily skin with enlarged pores, and acne scarring are also good candidates.
  • Men who require treatments to unclog blocked pores, extract any papules and pustules on the skin. They also aim at smoothing out the tone and texture of the skin, decreasing the appearance of spots, and promote speedy healing.
What are the benefits of having Beta Hydroxy Acid Peels?
  • The skin is continually undergoing natural exfoliation. As one ages the epidermal cell turnover slows down and one's skin becomes dull because the topmost layer consisting of dead cells becomes too thick.
  • This dead layer can challenge the skin causing whiteheads, blackheads, rough texture, and uneven appearance of the skin tone.
  • If one exfoliates regularly, new healthy skin cells are exposed to nutrients from the air, water, and daily skin products.
  • These nutrients are then transported to the deeper skin cells where they are needed, improving circulation.
  • Potential benefits of Beta peels include fresher, brighter looking skin and
  • Better penetration of active ingredients of skincare products.
What preparation of the skin is needed prior to an exfoliation procedure?

After your initial consultation, you will be required to use a skin preparation cream which must be applied to the entire treatment area daily for 10 to 14 days before the peeling process can begin. This preparation product blocks and retards enzyme pathways that produce melanin and will prevent the possibility of post inflammatory pigmentation (PIH) that can occur after any exfoliation procedure. It also speeds up and improves the healing process post treatment while also assisting in preparing and restoring the skin’s barrier in order to prevent adverse effects.

What results can be expected after a Beta Hydroxy Peel?
  • Fine lines and wrinkles become less apparent
  • Skin tone evens out
  • The texture becomes more refined
  • Oily or acne-prone skin is improved
  • Enlarged pores appear smaller
  • Superficial scars appear reduced
  • Skin appears healthier and more youthful
  • Pigmentation is reduced in all skin types
What to Expect After a Beta Hydroxy Chemical Peel?
  • Usually, the skin is normal immediately after a mild beta hydroxy peel and makeup may be applied after your session the skin immediately looks and feels noticeably smoother and tighter.
  • Depending upon the strength of the beta-hydroxy acid chemical peel, mild redness of the skin and dryness may occur following the procedure followed by mild scaling that ends within three to seven days.
  • Mild peels may be repeated at 2 - 4 week intervals for a series of 6 peels until the desired clinical effect is achieved.
  • With each additional treatment, you should see incremental gains in the overall appearance of the skin. Your skin usually feels tighter and smoother but may also feel a little sting or itch.
  • You will care for your skin by using a mild non-abrasive cleanser or other mild products for five days as well as
  • Protecting your new skin with adequate sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide as an active ingredient.
  • In addition, it is best to avoid prolonged sun exposure.

I’ve received treatments by Shanice for the past year. Shanice has performed wonders on my skin! She is always great at making treatments less painful and is really helpful in recommending creams that have also reduced the appearance of both my active acne and it’s scarring. I would definitely recommend Dermapen treatments as well. Skin Renewal has reduced my scarring to a point where I am able to leave the house without makeup - something I would have never dreamed of before this year!

Dr Lestonn has changed my life by changing my skin! I had severe post-pregnancy hormonal acne, despite healthy eating. I was told by dermatologists to take extremely strong medication if I wanted it cleared, but I knew that had terrible side effects. I had heard about Skin Renewal and decided to visit. Dr Lestonn was empathetic, and patiently explained the underlying causes of my problem and outlined the process ahead. I decided to trust the system and stick to all the supplements, skin care products and facials advised. The prices were surprisingly affordable too. Within three months I had new baby soft skin! It has given me confidence and I even feel happy wearing no makeup again. It sounded too good to be true, but there is such integrity behind the skin renewal process. Thank you, Dr Lestonn and Skin Renewal for caring and making a difference. I am in love with my new skin!

And I enjoy coming for my treatments on a regular basis with Liezel. She is very humble and always friendly. She always makes sure that I'm comfortable and happy. She explains to me every time what she is doing! It is like a facial with the treatment - very relaxing!
