As a skin-care fanatic, I am a hard gal to impress when it comes to products and facials....but after my Image Clinical Peel I got this week, I felt compelled to blog about it! I booked myself in for an Image peel at Cork Laser Care on Tuesday with lovely Gerri. I have had treatments with Gerri before so I knew I was in capable hands.
Before I go on......I think there is a stigma attached to the word"peel" and especially when the word "skin" comes before it.......I blame Samantha from Sex and The City for this lol....................
No you will NOT look like this after an Image skin peel....

I am a firm believer that if you want to make a significant change/improvement to your skin, then you need to find skin treatments and products that dig deep into the skin cells and do what they are supposed to do. Image is a skincare range which was developed by an American plastic surgeon. It is formulated with cosmeceutical ingredients which are scientifically designed to get deep into the skin cell. If you suffer from acne,deep pore congestion, pre-mature aging, pigmentation, sun damage or wrinkles/fine lines, then non-cosmeceutical ingredients can only do so much. To rectify your skin concern and to improve your skins condition, ingredients need to be driven deep into the pore to do their job....why? because for all the skin concerns listed above, the cells responsible for the improvement of the skin are situated deep in the skins layers......HELLO IMAGE SKIN CARE!!
I use alot of image skin care products in my everyday routine, which I will be doing a blog post about soon so I knew I would love this Image clinical Peel.
After a consultation with Gerri, she showed me through to her facial room and told me to make myself cosy. Gerri decided that the Image Signature Facelift would be perfect for me. I was already impressed the second I heard "facelift"..! The Image peel treatment consisted of facial cleanse,de-greasing the skin which preps it for the 2nd part of the peel.....which is done in 4 layers. High doses of Vitamin C and glycolic are used to totally rejuvenate the skin. In layman's terms, the glycolic scoops out the dirt embedded deep in the pore and the vitamin c feeds and plumps out your starving/thirsty skin cells! :-)
Below is a picture of me before the Peel:

After the Peel:
My skin felt so amazing after the treatment, clean, fresh and glowing!! It has been a few days since I had the treatment and I can still see the benefits of this skin treatment and that to me is a sign of a good facial! I have had alot of facials in the past where my skin looks and feels amazing after the facial but that only lasts a few hours max! This peel boosts your skin cells so much and kicks them into action so your skin continually improves after the facial! My skin wasn't red at all afterward so there was no down-time with this facial- Now I can understand why this is known as a red carpet treatment!
Image Clinical Peels have quite an array of treatments available which can cater for any skin condition and concern. Go to this website to see where your nearest Image skincare centre is.....http://www.renaissance-skincare.com/skincare-centres/
