Superficial Peel Consultations – Shellharbour Skin

Q: What is a Superficial Peel?

Superficial peels involve the application of a mild chemical solution like salicylic acid or lower concentrations of glycolic acid, which effectively targets and clears out clogged pores, reduces the bacteria responsible for acne, and minimises inflammation. Benefits of Superficial Peels for Acne Reduced Acne and Breakouts: Clearer skin with fewer acne incidents. Decreased Oil Production: Helps in balancing skin oils. Minimised Pores: Appearance of smaller, less visible pores. Improved Skin Texture: Smoother skin with reduced acne scars.

At Shellharbour Skin, we offer superficial peel consultations for individuals who wish to discuss the overall health and condition of their skin.

These consultations are a common starting point for exploring professional options to address concerns such as acne-prone skin, oiliness, and visible changes related to ageing.

During your appointment, your clinician will explain how professionally formulated peel solutions act on the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis), what sensations you may expect, and what aftercare is typically required.

Our clinic offers a range of clinically formulated superficial peels from trusted partners Synergie Skin, O Cosmedics, biorepeel and many more.
