At Shellharbour Skin, we offer very superficial peel consultations for individuals wishing to explore gentle, professional-grade options as part of their skin care routine.
If you are preparing your skin ahead of a special occasion, a consultation provides the opportunity to discuss what options may be appropriate for your skin type and schedule.
These sessions focus on education, understanding the process, the sensations that may be experienced, and the aftercare steps involved in a very superficial peel.
What is a Very Superficial Peel?
A very superficial peel, sometimes referred to as a “lunchtime peel,” is a process that involves the application of a mild solution to the outermost layer of the skin, the (stratum corneum). These applications typically use mild acids, like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) including glycolic acid, or enzymes-based solutions.
During your consultation, your clinician will:
- Explain how these solutions interact with the surface of the skin.
- Discuss suitability based on your skin type and health profile.
- Outline what to expect during and after the process.
At Shellharbour Skin, we offer professional-grade formulations from trusted partners such as Synergie Skin, O Cosmedics and many more.
Your clinician will help you understand each option so you can make an informed decision.
