Sun damage can sneak up on us. Maybe you spent your summers outdoors, soaking up the Tasmanian sunshine, or perhaps you just didn’t realise how strong the UV exposure was until years later. Over time, the effects can become more visible, fine lines, brown spots, uneven tone, and a dull, rough texture. The good news? You don’t have to live with it. At Escape Skin and Body, we offer professional treatments designed to help rejuvenate sun-damaged skin gently and effectively, so you can feel confident in your skin again.
How Glycolic Peels Help Reverse Sun Damage
One of the most effective treatments we offer for sun-damaged skin is the Glycolic Peel. This professional exfoliating treatment is known for its ability to:
- Visibly reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Brighten areas of hyperpigmentation, including brown spots
- Smooth the skin’s surface and promote a radiant complexion
Unlike more aggressive chemical peels, glycolic acid works at a depth that’s both safe and effective for most skin types. It penetrates deeply to loosen the bonds between old, damaged skin cells, helping to shed up to seven layers of dead skin and reveal the fresh, youthful skin beneath. The result? A smoother, brighter, and more even skin tone that feels as good as it looks.
Is a Glycolic Peel Right for You?
Many clients ask us if glycolic peels are suitable for sensitive skin. While traditional glycolic acids can sometimes be harsh, our formulation is carefully balanced to suit a wide range of skin types. If you’ve noticed:
- Fine lines or wrinkles forming
- Uneven texture or rough patches
- Brown spots or sun freckles
- A general loss of glow or vitality
This treatment may be a perfect addition to your skin recovery plan. For those with specific sensitivities, we’ll always conduct a thorough consultation before proceeding. You can also explore our full range of skin treatments for pigmentation and sun damage to find a solution tailored to your needs.
What to Expect After a Glycolic Peel
One of the best things about glycolic peels is their minimal downtime. Over the course of about five days, your skin will go through a gentle renewal process. You may experience mild peeling, tightness, or redness, but this is simply the skin’s natural response to deeper exfoliation. By the end of this period, you’ll notice skin that feels fresher, softer, and noticeably more radiant. Most clients see visible improvement after just one session, though a series of treatments may be recommended for longer-term results. We also encourage supporting your skin post-treatment with hydrating products and internal skin nutrition, such as the Bestow Beauty range, formulated to nourish your glow from within.
It’s Never Too Late to Love Your Skin
It may have taken years for sun damage to appear, but it doesn’t have to take years to restore your skin’s natural beauty. With the right treatment and a supportive skincare plan, you can dramatically improve the tone, texture, and health of your skin in just a few sessions.
