Superficial Peels with Alpha Hydroxy Acids

These peels are more commonly known as fruit acid peels, glycolic peels and by a number of other commercially traded names. At The Melrose Aesthetic Centre we recommend two different Alpha Hydroxy Peels: Both of these are superior treatment programs and our aesthetic specialist will choose between these regimes as part of the consultation with the client.

iS Clinical Resurfacing & Rejuvenating Masques®

These are the centerpieces of the iS Clinical range of cosmetic products The therapeutic masques are applied by an aesthetic specialist and are powerful, anti-aging, skin smoothing and softening treatments. The combined treatment with the two masques safely resurfaces and rejuvenates the outermost layers of the skin.

The INTENSIVE RESURFACING MASQUE® iS Clinically formulated with Glycolic Acid, Malic Acid and Lactic Acid, as well as Retinol (Vitamin A), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), and potent antioxidants - including Green Tea Extract.

The REJUVENATING MASQUE® is a soothing, hydrating treatment formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera, Green Tea Extract, Licorice Extract, Grape Seed Extract, and Rosemary Extract. It is designed to rapidly and safely rehydrate and nutrify the skin.

Repeated treatments together with the use of maintenance home care products assist in the minimizing of fine lines. All clients notice and feel that their skins are smoother and softer. Cellular renewal is encouraged and the skin left healthier and supple.

Treatments can be repeated as often as bimonthly or monthly for most patients. In the case of acute acne treatments can be performed as often as every week for about 4-6 weeks until the skin has stabilized and inflammation has been reduced to a minimum.

The iS Clinical® masques are complemented by a rich and unique variety of serums and moisturizers for at home care. The professional treatments prepare the skin to receive the active ingredients provided in the home care regime. The distinctive iS Clinical® "active" products restore the health of the skin by promoting and accelerating the natural processes of exfoliation, circulation, and cellular regeneration.
