As the skin barrier naturally sheds and renews itself, it can become clogged with oils and dead skin leaving a dull appearance. Chemical peels work to remove the dull top layers by penetrating pores to reduce inflammation and reveal radiant, healthy skin. Downtime and discomfort are very minimal with Epionce professional peels, and most patients are able to use regular skin products within a few hours.

Yes. All our treatments are carried out by fully qualified practitioners who have an excellent understanding and background knowledge of Epionce treatments and products.
Before you begin your treatment, you will have a full consultation and thorough skin analysis.

As with any treatment there may be some minor discomfort involved. You may experience a tingly yet tolerable stinging sensation, which is short lived and will disappear within 24 hours.

During your consultation we will assess your skin type and plan a tailor made programme that will offer you optimum results to suit your needs. On average we recommend a course of 6 treatments and these need to be approximately two weeks apart.
It is generally expected that some result may be seen between 3-6 treatments, and a more significant result is hoped to be achieved between 6-18 treatments, however this may vary depending on the skin condition.

The treatment takes on average about half hour, 45 minutes if you choose to go ahead with the Microdermabrasion as well.

To see maximum benefits from treatment, we recommend a regime that you should follow at home.
Epionce products are designed to work in synergy. They are not suitable for mixing with other skincare regimes as they may cause irritation. Your practitioner will carry out a thorough skin analysis and recommend a suitable home care plan for you to use at home.
