Peels containing Glycolic acid have a wide application where anti-ageing results are wanted.
Its small molecular size means that it is easily able to penetrate deep into the skin. This promotes the wound healing response, causing collagen to be produced, and therefore reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles
Anne Stewart, Owner and Aesthetician
Glycolic, Lactic and Jessner’s peels can be used to improve the general appearance of mild acne scarring, but in more severe cases where the depth of scar tissue is deep, medical grade peels are required to completely smooth the skin.
These will allow the living dermal layers to be rebuilt and the skin retexturised.
Anne Stewart, Owner and Aesthetician
Chemical peels are generally well tolerated and the wide range of peeling agents available means that they are suitable for all skin types.
However, they are not appropriate for certain groups of people:
those whose skin healing response might be compromised – Diabetics, and people with other auto-immune diseases like Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hepatitis;
those who are taking steroids;
people with cancer or receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy
those taking photosensitising medications e.g. some antihistamines, antibiotics or oral contraceptives;
people taking Isotretinoin for treating acne
Anne Stewart, Owner and Aesthetician
Chemical peels can be a very effective way of dealing with a number of common skin issues.
If you have concerns about skin laxity and loss of volume or lines and wrinkles, these can be improved with the use of Glycolic or Lactic acid peels, which are proven to have a humectant effect.
Epidermal pigmentation problems through sun damage or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can also be addressed with Lactic or Glycolic acid; whilst sensitive skins e.g. Acne, Rosacea, will benefit from the gentler action of peels containing Salicylic or Mandelic acid.

In 2018 a systematic review found that microneedling is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate skin and treat scars and wrinkles.
In light of our recent posts about how I work with clients, I was delighted to receive this testimonial which, I think, validates our approach of working together with you to tailor your treatment.
The service I have received so far from Anne at Timeless Allure has been nothing short of exceptional. After a lengthy consultation, Anne put together a very thorough treatment plan that took into consideration all of the goals and limitations; she then took the time to talk me through her recommendations, so I felt 100% comfortable with what she was suggesting. It’s clear Anne has expert knowledge in her field, and I’m looking forward to seeing the results. Anne has a way of making her clients feel completely at ease, and the salon itself is beautiful. Definitely worth a visit.
Yes!. But we’ll do it anyway :-)
We offer services for everyone. But our passion is to be a place for people who might hesitate at the thought of visiting a ‘traditional’ Salon.
We want you to know that taking care of yourself isn’t just for other people! So, don’t hesitate – be bold – make this the year you shine (and we don’t mean oily skin ?)!
Still not sure? Do you have questions? This is the place to ask them ?

We can’t turn the clock back or stop ageing. But developments in skin science and technology mean that we can slow it down and we can improve our skin condition and appearance to reduce those signs that ‘age’ us – fine lines, wrinkles, lax skin and hyperpigmentation (age spots).
So, the ‘idea’? Simple – create a space where anyone feeling uncomfortable about their skin condition or appearance can feel relaxed and be reassured that they will be listened to and given help and advice without the ‘hype’,
We fill a gap between traditional beauty salons and high-end medical clinics.
Priced like a salon, but with the skills and knowledge to go much further.
And much more approachable than a clinic.
We have a few more strings in our bow – waxing, lashes, and tanning – these do help you feel good, which is half the battle.
Not forgetting massage… which helps with so many problems (and feels great too).
BUT problem skin, mature skin and other age-related issues are at the heart of what we do.
If you don’t have a problem? Lucky you!
Starting with good skin we can make it GREAT skin
Prepare you to keep it over the coming years
Because we’re like you, with the same problems and insecurities
Because the reaction of people like you afterwards is immensely gratifying!
And because we know how difficult it can be to take the first steps.
A salon may make you look better on the surface. Which is great!
But without a deep understanding of skin science the results may be temporary or even damaging to your skin. Which is not so great.
So we look deeper. Everything we do starts with a detailed analysis. With luck that is all you need – many issues are easily improved with simple lifestyle changes. Otherwise, should we believe some treatment will help, you are free to take our advice, or go elsewhere as you please. Naturally we’d prefer you to stay with us for your journey, but we’ll never push anything we don’t think is right.
So if we sound like your kind of place, get in touch with us!
We made this for fun
… but also to highlight some treatments which can be done in a typical lunchtime.
