Rationale - Chemical Peels/Medi-Peels
Chemical peel is an aesthetic procedure performed to achieve better skin tone and to remove fine lines, especially on the face. The chemical solution removes outer layers of skin which are damaged by age, sun, acne, wrinkles, or pigmentation problems. Removing the outer skin prompts the body to generate a new layer of skin cells which are tainted by the previous skin condition.
Chemical peels may not be suitable for darker skin complexions. Chemical peels are available in different strengths, therefore a consultation is a must before hand to decide on the peel that would best suited to your needs. Downtime is usually minimal depending on the strength of the peel and procedure time is anywhere from 10-30 minutes

Reasons for Considering a Chemical Peel:
- Reduce facial wrinkles and lines.
- Improve sun-damaged skin.
- Correct age spots and pigmentation problems.
- Lighten scars (especially acne scars).
- Treating pre-cancerous skin lesions.
During the procedure, the skin is first cleansed of oils. A solution is then carefully applied and is allowed to remain on the skin for a short time in order to remove the layers of damaged skin. At this point, the skin will turn white, a frost-like effect. The skin is then neutralized and cleansed. Finally, an ointment is applied to the skin to aid in healing.
Generally, post-operative instructions call for plenty of rest and limited movement in order to speed up the healing process and recovery time. An ointment and dressings are applied immediately following surgery to aid in the healing process and to minimize swelling. The skin will have a pinkish color, and a thin crust may form over the area that was treated. Patients sometimes report minor pain associated with the procedure, which can be treated effectively with oral medication.
While complications are rare, patients can minimize potential problems by carefully following the post-operative directions given by the surgeon. Recovery time varies depending upon the extent of the chemical peel.

At Advanced Aesthetix we offer the Rationale® range of chemical skin peels that are designed to maintain your skin in top condition.

Booster Peel :
Performed only in the practise by a qualified skin therapist, the Booster Peel reinvigorates skin in need of refreshening. This peel is designed to freshen lacklustre skin that feels dull, prematurely aged or congested.Rejuvenating Peel:
Most signs of skin ageing are caused by the sun. UV light attacks the skin’s delicate layers causing wrinkles and sagging. The Rejuvenating Peel is designed to help increase skin cell turnover which results in fresher healthier cells on the surface more often.Lightening Peel:
Pigmentation is caused by the sun and hormonal factors. It is the skin’s attempt to protect itself from the harmful effects of UV light. The Rationale Lightening Peel is designed to help lighten areas of blotchy brown pigmentation through the increase of exfoliation of superficial pigmented cells. The result is a brighter, clearer more even complexion.Clarifying Peel:
The major cause of acne is clogged pores. Some of these blockages become blackheads and whiteheads, while others progress to form inflamed lesions. The Clarifying Peel is designed to help unclog pores and keep them clear, which assists in controlling the formation of blackheads, whiteheads and pimples.Please visit www.rationaleskincare.com
