Do you have…

General skin health

Redness prone skin

Pigmented skin

If you answered yes to any of the above, then I can help you.

With the right skincare and treatments, you can stimulate your skin to rejuvenate itself faster like younger skin. You can…

  • Improve your general skin condition further,
  • Reduce the symptoms and manage your redness prone skin,
  • Improve and slow down your ageing skin or reduce acne,
  • Repair sensitive skin and
  • Reduce pigmented skin.

Why I am confident I can help you.

At Skin Happy I use Alumier medical grade skincare, this gives me the guarantee (White Papers- Scientific proof & evidence) that any home skincare products used, and in-clinic treatments received work how they are supposed to work. This means they go through a heavily funded process of strict testing and trials before they become available.

How can I help you to improve (get a GRASP of) your skin?

By having at my fingertips, a selection of superficial to medium depth chemical peels with treatment options for all skin colour types that will trigger the replenishment of new skin cells in the lower epidermis leading to skin rejuvenation (improving your GRASP).

I use mild to medium chemical peels which are superficial peels.

Most clients I see are scared or put off by chemical peels because of what they have seen on television dramas or series that show various high risk deep chemical peels or acid peel treatments. These deep and aggressive peels need to be conducted by a medic in a medical environment because they do come with risks. The face goes red, raw, sore and recovery is around 3 weeks. These peels do have their place but for mainstream rejuvenation and maintenance this is not required or necessary.

Superficial to medium – depth peels are known for exceptional results and safety profile with minimal downtime.

At Skin Happy the chemical peels I use DO NOT have the same downtime as the deep peels mentioned above. Downtime can be nothing or at most 3-5 days of mild small patches of dead flaky skin cells that can easily be flicked away. (Nobody would think anything other than you have a bit of dry skin). I provide a post treatment kit to minimise this down time further (which consists of a gentle face wash, intense moisturising and hydrating balm and sunscreen).

How do Chemical Peels work?

They encourage exfoliation by sinking into the pores and follicles dissolving any dead skin cells there, along with excess oil and bacteria. It also dissolves and sloughs off (lifts off and away) dead skin cells from the very top layer of your skin/Stratum corneum. These cells are already dead, waiting to naturally shed away. As we get older our skin cell cycle slows down, sebaceous oil becomes thicker causing dead cells to become sticky making it more difficult for them to naturally shed away.

The chemical peel exfoliation forces the body to quickly replenish them with new cells. This process speeds up its overall skin cell production cycle. Increasing your cell cycle production enables your skin to function and work better improving your GRASP giving you a more youthful appearance with skin that is clear, smooth, and radiant.

Once the dead skin cells/outer dead layers of the stratum corneum are removed, booster ingredients are better absorbed and so applied immediately after the peel. Booster ingredients consist of anti-ageing, antioxidants, peptides and brightening accelerators which enhance the treatment results.

What are the benefits of Chemical Peels?

The benefits of doing these peels thickens the epidermis, increasing dermal volume and stimulating collagen. The results give smoother more radiant skin complexion and when they are performed regularly the skin gets use to this process and begins to rejuvenate itself faster like younger skin improving your GRASP!

Why get maintenance or repeated treatments?

Healthy radiant skin doesn’t happen overnight. Some treatments take time to show results. A single chemical peel can provide the immediate effect of bright, smooth, and radiant skin; however more significant results in treating textural issues, discoloration, fine lines, and inflamed acne can take longer. Therefore, a scheduled plan is recommended. This is repeated treatments for progression in intensity of treatments and results. When peels are performed regularly, the skin gets use to this process and begins to rejuvenate itself like younger skin.

Popular areas treated are the face, neck, chest and back.

At skin Happy we are all about offering a more natural route to aesthetics. Using products and machines that stimulate your own natural body processes to improve not only the appearance of your skin but your confidence too.

Regular skin peels can see your skin looking radiant and you feeling confident, carefree, and skin happy.
