According to the International Master Course on Ageing Skin (IMACS), it’s no longer the time of facelifts being the norm when it comes to reverse ageing, as there’s a fear it may modify the natural placement of the facial features. Instead, the focus has shifted to improving the overall quality of the skin, countering the material that’s been lost over time.

A chemical peel refers to the process of removing the outer layer of skin. This is done through an exfoliation process to improve both the appearance and condition of the skin. A chemical peel removes dead or damaged cells from the surface of the skin, exposing a new layer that results in a brighter, even complexion. Additionally, this treatment stimulates the growth of new cells that aid in plumping the skin, improving texture and tightening the surface.
