Clinical Peel

A Clinical Peel is a clinical resurfacing treatment that uses specialised acids to exfoliate the skin, revealing a clearer, brighter and more refined complexion. There are varying degrees of intensity and downtime, depending on the peel selected.

Clinical peels can help improve concerns such as pigmentation, acne, congestion, uneven skin tone, fine lines and dullness. With a course of treatments, skin can appear smoother, brighter and more even, with improved clarity and overall skin health.

"5 Star Clinic!

Natasha and her team are just incredible!

They are the skincare professionals who listen to your concerns and apply the best treatment for you. I struggled with Melasma for years however, I regained my confidence after treatments and home skincare regime.

All the staff members are very friendly so I always leave the clinic with clear skin and great feeling. It is an amazing place to be!"

"Natasha and the whole team at Sanctuary are so professional, caring and friendly - the best for skin care with a smile!

I have been seeing Natasha for a couple of years now and my skin has never looked better. I love how I can go in for an appointment and she'll recommend what's best for my skin, from a gentle relaxing facial to a more in-depth treatment.

Thank you for making my congested skin look and feel flawless. Already can't wait for my next appointment!"

"I had an incredible experience with Natasha at Sanctuary Skin Clinic. She went above and beyond — her extractions were the best l've ever had, and her expertise with BBL treatments far surpassed that of my high-end dermatologist (who charges much more).

What stood out most was the care, passion, and attention to detail she brought to every step of the treatment. I only wish I had found this clinic sooner. Could not recommend more highly!"

Margarita O.

Jo B.

"It was divine. Emily was so caring, listened to what I was concerned about and provided great information to help understand what to expect, how things worked with skin science and showed her great knowledge and experience in working with different kinds of skin.

The facial was so gentle, soothing and restorative to not just my skin but my mind as well."

"Bree is THE BEST! Her depth of knowledge is incredible, she's super helpful and her treatments leave my mature skin looking and feeling fresh, plump and rejuvenated.

I've been having trouble with dermatitis on the side of my face and Bree chose gentle yet effective treatments to calm the inflammation and provide nourishment and healing.

I highly recommend Bree and all the team at Sanctuary Skin Care."

Tracie A.

"Sanctuary Skin Care has been the best skin clinic for laser treatments I've ever been to.

I feel safe in Emily's professional hands, her advice is spot on and she is a delight to deal with. She has an amazing ability to relax her clients with her great sense of humour whilst focusing on her work! Highly recommend!"
