Scheduling the treatment should be your next major consideration.

The autumn and winter are optimum times for anti ageing treatments such as chemical peel for 3 key reasons.

1. Less sun exposure- Chemical peel causes a reaction similar to sunburn, this can be exacerbated if you spend too much time in the sun. With less exposure to direct UVrays makes healing process quicker, safer and much more effective.
2. Winter causes dry skin- Chemical peels get rid of old dead skin cells, speeding up the renewal process on the top layer of the skin, making the skin more receptive to moisturizing skin care products that work to protect and replenish it during winter months.
3. A autumn /winter chemical peel is an excellent way to remove any dirt, debris, oils and dead skin collected from the summer time.
