What is a chemical peel?

What is a chemical peel?
Scientifically Proven Benefits

A chemical peel, also known as a skin peel, is a science based treatment that, when properly administered, offers one of the most powerful non-surgical skin improvements available. It incolves the application pf highly specialized acid and enzyme solution to remove damaged layers of cells from the skin’s outer surface – revealing more glowing, youthful skin.

How can a chemical peel improve your skin?
Scientifically Proven Benefits

By removing cellular buildup and stimulating skin regeneration, chemical peels will offer measurable improvement in reducing wrinkles and fine lines, pore size, and oil production while clearing blemishes and improving the skin’s texture, tone, and hydration – for a more vibrant skin appearance. Chemical peels may be especially beneficial in the treatment of hyperpigmentation, rosacea, acne, sun damage, and photo aging.

Which Skin Peel is Right For You?

Suddenly Slimmer Spa offers highly specialized skin care solutions – and skin peels are no exception. Our trained skin care practitioner will assess your needs to determine the most beneficial skin peel formulation, application technique, and post peel regimen. A variety of chemical peels are available at three fundamental levels:

Progressive Peels
A progressive peel is the mildest course of treatment, removing only the outer layer of stratum conrneum with no visible peeling. Repeated treatments on a regular schedule, up to once a week, will cause mild exfolitation of the skin with cumulative effects. This is best described as a mild, yet refining, peel.

Mid-Depth Peels
A mid-depth skin peel targets the intra-epidermal layer, skin exfoliation occurs within two to three days of treatment. Light flaking may occur, similar to sunburn peel. May be administered every four to six weeks as needed. A mid-depth peel can offer rejuvenative effects with minimal to no down time.

Deep Peels
A deep skin peel reaches the deepest intra-epidermal layers where skin peels in large segments.
Skin becomes brown and crusted prior to considerable peeling, occuring three to four days after application. The typical recovery period lasts seven to ten days, with treatment allowed up to twice per year. A deep peel restores and renews skin with the most dramatic results.

What Can I Expect After My Chemical Peel?
Recovery And Post Pell Treatment

Due to the high level of skin exfoliation associated with skin peels, clients may expect some discomfort following treatments. While a majority of clients describe any dsicomfort as very manageable, experiences may vary depending on the type of skin peel administered and an individual’s pain tolerance. Most clients agree that any discomfort is offset by the dramatic improvements attained in skin appearance.

Our skin care practitioner will give you specific instructions to follow after your procedure – this course is as important to successful results as the peel itself.

After skin has healed, daily skin care is essential to maintaining results. Our skin care experts will recommend a daily cleanser and sunblock in addintion to supportive cell rejuvenator.

Tips To Help Take Care Of Your Hair & Eyelashes!

Louise Galvin Sacred Locks

Louise Galvin Sacred Locks

Winter’s dry and cold weather can cause hair to split and break. We recommend you use Louise Galvin Sacred Locks hair products. Internationally renowned colourist Louise Galvin has designed a range of hair and body care products to deliver what women want: hair with flexibility and movement; the kind of deep natural moisture that is apparent at a glance; and a lingering, sexy smell. The range also hydrates and restores the shine to long and colour-treated hair and effectively prevents fading.
Not only are Louise Galvin products exceptionally effective, they are also free of harmful ingredients, relying instead on entirely natural or naturally-derived ingredients such as the essential oils: grapefruit, lemon, orange, geranium, tagetes minutiae and mandarin. Grapefruit extract takes the place of harmful, artificial preservatives in all products in the range while the moisturizing agent is 100% vegetable-derived glycerine. Conditioning agents are derived from natural corn, soya and wheat. All the products in the range are rich in pro-vitamin B, vitamin E and a modified form of honey.

Louise Galvin products contain no sulphates, no propylene glycol, no petrochemicals, no silicones, which result in build-up, no artificial perfumes, no parabens, no phthalates and no synthetic preservatives.

¨ Slimming and Trimming treatments – Losing a significant amount of weight causes stretched skin to sag. Further, stretch marks don’t necessarily go away after weight loss. One solution to keep skin looking great and revitalized during the weight loss process is getting a Slimming Body Wrap. Yards of gauze are soaked in vitamin-, enzyme- and mineral-rich solution and are used to tightly wrap the body (yes including the face). The wraps will take off 6 to 30 inches guaranteed in the very first visit, these inches usualy comes off problem areas, like the thighs, stomach, upper arms and waist areas.
The Cellulite Treatment with LED is another treatment that gives unbelievable results through Light-emitting Diode that penetrates the layer of condensed fat and stimulates blood flow and oxygen. The result is the elimination of toxins that cause cellulite. Acupuncture for weight loss may calm the body, making it easier for the body to release endorphins that help relieve stress, frustration and anxiety. If the body is free from stressors, it will, more than likely, stop food cravings or emotional binging, which often results in weight gain. The release of endorphins also helps regain the organ system’s balance, improving the body’s metabolism.

Dancing, because you’re the Star! – Not just any regular dance class, but try a Zumba Dance Class to lose the weight and maintain a new healthy body. Zumba classes help build and sculpt a strong and sexy core. Unlike conventional exercise regimen of weights and cardio, Zumba is designed to compliment women’s bodies because it puts emphasis on curves. Zumba also improves confidence, self esteem, and body image, coordination and stamina. Most importantly, it establishes a friendly bond with other women in the class, who are always very eager to encourage other Zumba dancers. If you’re not ready for Zumba dance class, try Suddenly Slimmer’s other calorie burning classes like Hip Hop, Latin Fusion, Jazz Dance, Belly Dancing or Pole Dancing.

Uplifting facials - Keep it taut, keep it supple, keep it moisturized-these are the keys to having youthful-looking skin. Weight loss of whatever proportion also affects the face and its skin. Often, a dramatic weight loss can cause a once-stretched out skin to become saggy. One solution is getting uplifting facials that can improve skin’s elasticity. Custom Peels have been very popular in helping to build up collagen, strengthen skin elasticity to help tone and tighten skin, helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and old age spots, giving the skin the rejuvenation it needs. The Ageless Skin Remedy is also an ideal facial that stimulates cell renewal and slows the development of wrinkles.
