Red Carpet Chemical Peel

At its core is a special 20% Salicylic Acid, 2% Glycolic Acid and 2% Lactic Acid formulation to decongest clogged pores and exfoliate dead skin cells to reveal your new brighter, fresher skin complexion buried underneath. 

Salicylic Acid is an oil-soluble ingredient, which means it’ll get deep into your pores to clean them out and improve your overall complexion. For this reason this facial is particularly good at helping people who suffer with breakouts and adult acne.

The facial has 3 key steps:

1. Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and dried before the active formulation is applied.
2. Your practitioner will apply the first layer across your face and wait 30 to 60 seconds. You may feel a light prickly sensation. If you find it tolerable the practitioner may repeat the process once or twice.
3. Your practitioner will neutralise the active formulation, dry your skin and then bath your face in Dermalux red and infrared light to stimulate the natural production of collagen and Vitamin D. A sensation which is sure to remind you of relaxing on a sunny beach.

During recovery there is superficial peeling / flaking with this facial for up to 1 week, which starts normally on day 2 or 3, but you can go about your normal activities and hardly notice it.

The Red Carpet facial is suitable for most people with following exceptions:

• Pregnancy - as with all treatments.
• Allergic to aspirin.
• Active cold sores.

Preparation before facial

If you are using skincare containing Tretinoin or vitamin A, benzoyl peroxide or salicylic - you should refrain from using these products for 3 days prior to the facial in order to avoid sensitivity. Product use can resume 24-48 hours after the facial.  

Patients having laser or IPL treatments should avoid such treatments for 1 week prior to their facial.

Chemical peels involved in our facials require new patients to have a consultation to ensure the treatment is appropriate for their skin. If they are not - we will try to recommend alternate treatments or skincare that is more suitable to your skin.

A consultation involves a skin analysis which gives you a detailed report and costs £35 which is redeemable against any facial course. 

Terms and conditions

The consultation cost is only redeemable against a facial course purchased within 30 days of consultation date. Courses must be used within 12 months from purchase date. Course are not transferable. Should you decide to stop your course any refund will be calculated as the cost of your course less any treatments performed at full price and the cost of the consultation.
