Skin Rejuvenation & Resurfacing in Cape Town
Sun exposure and old breakouts can change the way your skin looks over time. You may notice uneven texture, pigmentation or marks that seem to linger longer than they used to.
Skin rejuvenation and resurfacing treatments are used to help improve these changes and support the skin's natural renewal process. In Cape Town, we offer chemical peels with microdermabrasion as well as microneedling, with the treatment chosen according to your skin and the concern being treated.
How Do Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion Work?
A chemical peel applies a solution to the skin that encourages controlled exfoliation, lifting away the outer layer of dulled or damaged skin cells. Microdermabrasion works on the surface too, using a mechanical exfoliation method to smooth texture and support skin tone.
Together, these treatments target hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, old scarring, sun damage and general texture irregularities. Because the exfoliation is controlled, healthier skin is revealed gradually rather than all at once.
This treatment can be a good option when the skin looks dull or uneven and you want to improve its overall texture without much disruption to your routine.
Before treatment, your practitioner will assess your skin and decide which peel strength or exfoliation method is most suitable. Some mild redness can happen afterwards, but this usually settles within a day or two.
What Can Microneedling Improve?
Microneedling uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process prompts the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for firmness and smoothness.
Microneedling can help improve the skin over a series of treatments, particularly where there are fine lines or acne scars. Changes tend to happen gradually rather than all at once.
Some redness after treatment is normal and can look a little like mild sunburn. This usually settles within a day or two. It is also important to use sun protection while the skin is healing.
Our practitioner will recommend how many sessions may be suitable based on your skin and the concern being treated.
For deeper volume loss or changes to facial contour rather than surface texture, injectable treatments may be worth discussing at your consultation.
