Chemical peels remove damaged skin layers to reveal smoother, healthier skin underneath. This medical-grade treatment uses controlled acid solutions to address signs of ageing, sun damage, acne scarring, and uneven skin tone that affect your confidence.
The peel process causes the top layers of skin to gradually shed over several days, stimulating new cell production and collagen formation. You’ll see improved skin texture, reduced pigmentation, and a more youthful appearance as your skin regenerates.
Your skin will be assessed to determine the most suitable peel type and strength. The procedure takes 30-45 minutes with varying recovery times depending on peel depth.
Light peels may cause mild redness for 1-2 days. Medium peels require 7-10 days healing with some peeling and flaking. Results continue improving as your skin regenerates over the following weeks.
Most people benefit from a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance peels every 3-6 months help preserve results.
We offer light, medium, and deep peels using various acid solutions including glycolic, salicylic, and TCA. The type recommended depends on your skin concerns and desired results.
Light peels cause minimal discomfort, feeling like a mild stinging sensation. Medium peels may cause more discomfort during application but this subsides quickly. We can apply cooling measures to reduce any discomfort.
Initial improvements appear within 7-10 days after peeling stops. Full results develop over 4-6 weeks as new skin cells form and collagen production increases.
Avoid makeup for 24-48 hours post-treatment to allow skin to heal properly. After this period, mineral makeup can be applied gently.
Use gentle cleansers, moisturise regularly, and apply SPF 30+ daily. Avoid picking at peeling skin and follow the specific aftercare instructions provided.
