Under Eye Peels
the Essential Anti-Ageing Beauty Treatment
that fits into your lunch hour!

Eyes are the mirrors of the soul…and the most visible feature of the face. Yet the first signs of ageing often appear on that delicate area surrounding the eyes.

However crow's feet, fine lines, dark circles and puffiness don't need to mean the surgeon's knife - there are less drastic alternatives for regaining that smooth, taut skin around the eyes associated with youth.

What's more, the treatment can be fitted into your lunch hour! Under eye peels are quick, relatively painless and results can be seen in less than 5 days! One half hour treatment results in soft, fresh and taut 'new' skin, rejuvenating that tired, fine lined appearance.

Top Harley Street Plastic Cosmetic Surgeon Ms Angelica Kavouni MD FRCS advocates regular under eye peels to keep premature ageing at bay.

Ms Kavouni comments:

"The delicate skin under the eyes shows the first signs of ageing. These changes are more visible as we focus on the eyes during conversation".

Unfortunately this is a difficult area for anti-ageing treatments, and the procedures available are limited - even Botox doesn't achieve good results.

Peels are the perfect solution, alleviating sun damage and wrinkles, leaving a new layer of skin that is soft yet firm, clearer and healthy looking. An experienced physician will control the depth of peel and size of area treated. "She continues: "The under eye peel may be repeated three times a year if required and in my opinion women should start treatment around the age of 25 years to reap the full benefit, but it's never too late to start!"

How does the peel work?

The peel consists of a low concentration of the chemical trichloroacetic acid (TCA).
Thin layers of aged and damaged skin are removed, stimulating the renewal of healthy, young skin cells. As a result the complexion regains its youthful glow, clarity and firmness.

What happens afterwards?

Immediately after the peel the skin blanches and then turns a little red but not enough to be noticeable back at work!
The skin begins to peel within two to three days. The duration of the healing phase is around 4 days.
A 5 day course of anti-viral tablets is prescribed. Makeup should not be applied until the skin is completely healed to help prevent infection. The 'new' skin will continue to improve in texture and appearance for the next four to six weeks becoming firmer, clearer and more youthful looking.

Contra-indications?

Serious smokers and sunbed worshippers should avoid this treatment.
