Facial Peels Quick Summary
What are facial peels?
There are different types of facial peels that remove cellular build-up and stimulate the skin to regenerate. Facial peels can address natural fine lines and wrinkles and smoothen the skin’s appearance, as well as address a number of different conditions including:
- When different areas of the skin become darkened and discoloured through sun spots or just uneven brown patches through hormonal changes
- Rosacea or general redness of the skin
- Acne or another scarring
- Sun damaged skin
- Aged skin
Where is it done? Dr. Verma provides facial peel services at Finesse Cosmetic Surgery’s consulting rooms located in Honeysuckle Day Hospital, a fully licensed and accredited day hospital which is purposely equipped to care for cosmetic procedures.
