Reveal Your Glow: Professional Facials & Peels for Transformative Results
At Ellysium Aesthetics, we offer a comprehensive range of medical-grade facials and chemical peels customised to address specific skin concerns. Our facial treatments include deep cleansing facials that remove impurities and excess oil; hydrating facials that restore moisture to dry, dehydrated skin; exfoliating facials that remove dead skin cells for a brighter complexion; and specialised facials tailored for acne-prone or sensitive skin. Our chemical peel offerings range from gentle superficial peels, medium-depth peels for more significant skin concerns, to targeted peels for specific issues like acne and hyperpigmentation. During your consultation, our skin specialists will analyse your skin and recommend the optimal treatment based on your skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes.
How do facials and chemical peels differ in their approach to skin rejuvenation?
Facials and chemical peels take different approaches to skin rejuvenation. Facials primarily focus on cleansing, nourishing, and maintaining healthy skin through gentle exfoliation, extraction of impurities, and infusion of beneficial ingredients. They’re ideal for regular maintenance and addressing surface-level concerns. Chemical peels, on the other hand, use controlled chemical exfoliation to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate cellular turnover at various depths. Peels specifically target concerns like fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and uneven texture by creating controlled damage that prompts skin regeneration. While facials are generally suitable for monthly maintenance with no downtime, chemical peels offer more dramatic results with varying recovery periods depending on peel strength.
What skin concerns can be addressed with facials and chemical peels?
Our facials and chemical peels address a wide spectrum of skin concerns. Facials are particularly effective for addressing congested pores, mild acne, dullness, dehydration, and maintaining overall skin health. They also provide a relaxing experience with immediate brightening and hydrating effects. Chemical peels are more treatment-focused and can effectively target fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne and acne scarring, uneven skin texture, and enlarged pores. For complex or multiple concerns, we often recommend a customised treatment plan that combines both facials and chemical peels at appropriate intervals to achieve optimal results. During your consultation, our specialists will identify your primary concerns and recommend the most effective treatment approach.
Who is an ideal candidate for facials and chemical peels?
Most individuals with skin concerns can benefit from our facials, as we customise each treatment based on your specific skin type and needs. Facials are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. For chemical peels, ideal candidates are individuals looking to address specific skin concerns like fine lines, pigmentation, or acne. Candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about results. Chemical peels require more careful candidate selection based on skin type, tone, sensitivity, and history of scarring. Those with darker skin tones can still enjoy the benefits of certain peels, but require specialised protocols to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Individuals with active skin infections, open wounds, certain autoimmune conditions, or those who are pregnant or nursing may need to postpone treatment.
How do I know which facial or chemical peel is right for my skin?
Determining the right facial or chemical peel for your skin begins with a comprehensive consultation with our skin specialists. During this assessment, we evaluate your skin type, sensitivity level, specific concerns, previous treatments, lifestyle factors, and aesthetic goals. For facials, factors like pore congestion, hydration levels, and sensitivity guide our recommendations. For chemical peels, we consider your skin’s resilience, previous experience with exfoliation, the specific concerns being addressed, and your tolerance for downtime. We often recommend starting with gentler treatments and progressively increasing intensity as your skin adapts. Our experts will create a customised treatment plan that may combine different facials and peels throughout the year to address seasonal skin changes and evolving concerns.
What does the treatment feel like? Is there any discomfort?
The sensation during facials and chemical peels varies depending on the specific treatment. Facials are generally relaxing and comfortable, with most clients reporting a pleasant experience throughout. You may feel gentle pressure during extractions or a slight tingling during application of active ingredients, but these sensations are typically mild. With chemical peels, the experience depends on the strength and formulation. Superficial peels usually cause minimal discomfort—a slight warming or tingling sensation that subsides quickly. Medium-depth peels may produce more noticeable sensations, described as a moderate burning or stinging that peaks for a few minutes before neutralization. Our specialists carefully monitor your comfort level throughout the procedure and can adjust the application technique or provide cooling measures as needed to ensure a positive experience.
Is there downtime after facials and chemical peels?
Downtime varies significantly between facials and chemical peels, and even among different types within each category. Most facials involve zero to minimal downtime—you may experience slight redness for a few hours, but this typically resolves quickly, allowing you to return to normal activities immediately. With chemical peels, recovery depends on the peel’s depth and formulation. Superficial peels (like glycolic or lactic acid) typically cause mild redness and potential flaking for 1-3 days. Medium-depth peels (such as TCA or Jessner’s) involve more noticeable peeling that begins 2-3 days post-treatment and continues for 5-7 days. During this time, your skin may appear red, tight, and flaky as the damaged cells shed and newer skin emerges. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimise discomfort and optimise healing.
When will I see results and how long do they last?
Results timeline and longevity vary between facials and chemical peels. With facials, you’ll typically notice immediate improvements in skin hydration, radiance, and texture that may last 2-4 weeks, which is why we recommend monthly treatments for maintenance. Chemical peels deliver both immediate and progressive results. Initially, you may notice a brighter complexion once any redness subsides. More significant improvements in texture, pigmentation, and fine lines become apparent after the peeling process completes (typically 5-10 days post-treatment). The results from superficial peels generally last 4-6 weeks, while medium-depth peels can provide improvements that last 3-6 months. For both treatments, results are cumulative—a series of treatments delivers more dramatic and longer-lasting results than a single session. Maintenance treatments and proper home care significantly extend the longevity of your results.
How should I prepare for my facial or chemical peel?
Preparation for facials and chemical peels helps ensure optimal results and minimises potential complications. For facials, we recommend arriving with clean skin free of makeup. Avoid harsh exfoliation for 2-3 days before your appointment. For chemical peels, preparation is more extensive. Discontinue use of retinoids, exfoliating products (AHAs/BHAs), and other potentially irritating skincare ingredients 5-7 days before treatment. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks prior to your peel. For certain skin types or stronger peels, we may prescribe pre-treatment products containing ingredients like hydroquinone or tretinoin to prepare your skin and enhance results. It’s important to disclose all skincare products and medications you’re using, as some may need to be temporarily discontinued before treatment.
What aftercare is recommended following facials and chemical peels?
Proper aftercare is essential for optimizing results and minimizing potential complications. After facials, we recommend avoiding makeup for at least 4-6 hours, staying hydrated, and applying only gentle, non-active skincare products for 24 hours. After chemical peels, aftercare is more rigorous: keep the skin clean and hydrated with recommended gentle cleansers and moisturizers; strictly avoid picking or peeling the skin as it naturally exfoliates; apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks; postpone use of active ingredients like retinoids and exfoliants until your skin has fully recovered (typically 7-14 days depending on peel strength). We provide comprehensive written aftercare instructions specific to your treatment and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your skin’s healing process and adjust your skincare regimen as needed.
