A skin peel treatment (also known as a chemical peel) is a non invasive skin medical procedure that removes dead skin cells, stimulates cell turnover, and promotes collagen production to improve skin texture, tone, and overall health. It involves applying a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin, leading to a smoother, more radiant complexion.
he chemical solution used in the peel causes the outer layers of the skin to shed over time. As the skin heals, new, fresh skin emerges, reducing the appearance of:
Superficial Peels – Gentle exfoliation using mild acids (e.g., lactic acid, glycolic acid). Minimal downtime.
Medium Peels – Penetrate deeper to treat wrinkles and pigmentation (e.g., TCA peels). A few days of peeling may occur.
Deep Peels – More intense treatment for severe wrinkles, sun damage, and scarring. Longer recovery time.
At Skin Health and Cancer Geelong, we offer professional skin peel treatments customized to your skin type and concerns to help achieve healthier, younger-looking skin.
LED light therapy is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to stimulate skin healing, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin health. This treatment is painless, requires no downtime, and can be customized to target specific skin concerns.
LED light therapy can help with:
Acne – Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces breakouts.
Skin rejuvenation – Red light stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing fine lines.
Inflammation and redness – Helps with conditions like rosacea and post-treatment irritation.
Wound healing – Aids in skin repair after procedures like microneedling or laser treatments.
LED light therapy can be used alongside other treatments for enhanced results, including:
Skin peels – To reduce post-peel inflammation and speed up healing.
Microneedling – Boosts collagen production and improves recovery.
Hydrating facials – Enhances skin hydration and glow.
Laser treatments – Reduces redness and promotes faster healing.
At Skin Health and Cancer Geelong, we offer LED light therapy as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with other skin therapies to help achieve the best possible results for your skin
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process and boosting collagen and elastin production. This results in firmer, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.
The controlled micro-injuries trigger the skin's repair response, leading to:
Increased collagen and elastin production for skin firmness.
Improved blood circulation to enhance skin rejuvenation.
Enhanced absorption of skincare products, making treatments more effective.
Microneedling can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including:
Microneedling can be combined with other treatments to enhance its effects and improve skin rejuvenation. Some of the most effective combinations include:
Microneedling is generally safe, but some mild side effects may occur, such as:
At Skin Health and Cancer Geelong, we offer professional microneedling treatments tailored to your skin’s needs, ensuring safe and effective results.
Fine wire diathermy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a high-frequency electrical current to treat various skin conditions. This technique generates heat through a fine wire electrode, which helps to remove or coagulate unwanted tissue with precision while minimizing damage to surrounding skin.
This treatment is commonly used for:
Fine wire diathermy is generally safe, but some temporary side effects may occur, such as:
At Skin Health and Cancer Geelong, we provide fine wire diathermy using precise and effective techniques to ensure safe removal of unwanted skin lesions while promoting optimal healing.
Keloid and hypertrophic scars are raised, thickened scars that form due to an overactive healing response. These scars can develop after surgical procedures, skin injuries, burns, or even minor trauma like piercings. While hypertrophic scars remain within the boundary of the original wound, keloid scars grow beyond it, forming firm, raised, and sometimes itchy or painful tissue.
Keloid scars develop when the body produces excessive collagen during wound healing. Instead of stopping when the wound is closed, the healing process continues, leading to thick, raised scar tissue. Factors such as genetics, skin type, and the location of the injury can influence the likelihood of developing keloids.
Managing keloid scars requires a combination of treatments to reduce their size, discomfort, and appearance. Common treatment modalities include:
At Skin Health and Cancer Geelong, we offer customized treatment plans to help manage and improve the appearance of keloid and hypertrophic scars using evidence-based techniques.
