Medical Grade Chemical Peels in Reading

Chemical peels are a way of deeply exfoliating the skin. They typically contain acids of varying strengths and types which remove the sun-damaged, thicker, outer layers of dead skin.

Dr Wafaa is qualified in both cosmetic dermatology and clinical dermatology and is passionate about skincare. She can provide you with a thorough assessment and examination of your skin to understand the problem and issues that you face with your skin.

The consultation will include a full review of your skincare routine, and even sometimes goes beyond that and review your daily dietary and exercise routine( all related ha!).

Then she might propose to you a complete comprehensive range of skincare treatment appropriate to your skin type and condition or sometimes propose to you a more in-depth procedure to get rid of any problem you might have

Superficial Peels

Superficial chemical peels are the mildest of the peels, they remove the outermost layer of the epidermis. They are mild enough to be used as part of a monthly skincare regime to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and age spots and can help even out the texture and tone of your skin.

During a superficial chemical peel, acids are used to create an intentional, controlled injury to specific skin depth. The acid breaks the chemical bonds which hold the skin cells together, causing them to peel off. Superficial peels remove all, or part of, the epidermis.

The aim is to deeply exfoliate the skin, which in turn, stimulates new epidermal growth and collagen production, with more evenly distributed melanin. The new skin that grows has improved surface texture and appearance.

Acids commonly used for superficial peels include lactic acid, glycolic acid, tartaric acid and salicylic acid. With the exception of salicylic acid (commonly used for acne treatments), these are known as the fruit acid peels. An example of this peel available in our Clinic Obagi Radiance Blue peel.

Medium-depth Peels

During medium-depth chemical peels, acids are used to create an intentional, controlled injury to specific skin depth.

The acid breaks the chemical bonds which hold the skin cells together, causing them to peel off. The acids used in medium-depth peels are able to penetrate the epidermis and a proportion of the dermis.

The aim is to deeply exfoliate the skin which, in turn, stimulates new epidermal and dermal growth, increased collagen production and more evenly distributed melanin. The new skin that grows has improved surface texture and appearance.

Medium -depth peels are usually carried out using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at concentrations between 35% and 50%. Other acids are sometimes used, including glycolic, pyruvic and salicylic acid, as well as Jessner’s solution, which is a combination of acids.

Phenol is typically used in deeper peels but may be found in small quantities in medium-depth peels.

I suffered with dry skin condition and eczema in my face. After having Polynucleotides treatment in Dr Wafaa Clinic for 2 months (3 months for complete treatment), my skin condition has improved, more hydrated, elastic, and my eczema gradually dissapeared. I could not be more pleased.

I couldn’t recommend Dr Wafaa highly enough for her professionalism and care for her clients! I’ve had anti-ageing treatments done at a different clinic in Reading and Dr Wafaa is by far better and more professional. During my initial consultation, she’s taken some time to provide me with useful advice tailored to my skin. She has then performed the treatment/ injections and I’m very happy with the results! I cannot say the same about the other clinic i visited earlier in the year! She’s also recommended me a cream that works wonders. I highly recommend Dr Wafaa. ~Raluca~

From the moment I walked in Dr Wafaa was welcoming and attentive. The atmosphere was calming, and I immediately felt at ease. Dr Waffa demonstrated a deep understanding of TMJ issues, and her expertise were evident throughout the process. The injections themselves were administered with precision and care. Dr Wafaa took the time to explain each step, making sure I felt comfortable and informed. Results were remarkable. Looking forward to my next treatment. Kerina N
