  • Enhanced Skin Texture

    Chemical peels effectively remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, revealing a smoother and more refined skin texture.

    Chemical peels can even out skin tone, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and enhance overall brightness by targeting the causes of pigmentation and sun damage.

    Peels can unclog pores, regulate oil production, and address mild to moderate acne, leading to clearer and healthier skin.

    Chemical peels come in various strengths and formulations, allowing for personalised treatment plans tailored to individual skin concerns and needs.

  • What is a chemical peel and how does it work?

    A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses a specially formulated acid solution to exfoliate the skin. The solution is applied to the surface of your skin, where it works to remove the outermost layers of dead and damaged cells. This process stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells and encourages collagen production, resulting in a smoother, brighter, and more even complexion. Depending on the strength of the peel, the treatment can target just the surface layer (epidermis) or penetrate deeper into the skin (dermis) to address more stubborn issues. Chemical peels are used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, pigmentation, acne, scarring, and sun damage. The procedure is usually quick, and your practitioner will select the right type and strength of peel based on your skin type and goals.

  • What skin concerns can chemical peels treat?

    Chemical peels are highly versatile and can address a wide range of skin concerns. They are commonly used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, soften scars, reduce uneven pigmentation, and remove blemishes. Chemical peels can also help to treat acne, minimise enlarged pores, and refresh dull or sun-damaged skin. By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, they reveal a fresher and more radiant complexion underneath. The specific benefits you experience will depend on the type and depth of peel chosen, as well as your individual skin needs. Your practitioner will advise you on the most suitable peel for your concerns during your consultation.

  • What are the different types of chemical peels?

    There are three main types of chemical peels: superficial, medium, and deep. Superficial peels use gentle acids like glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid to target only the outermost layer of skin. These are ideal for mild concerns such as minor pigmentation, rough texture, or dullness, and usually involve minimal downtime. Medium peels, often using trichloroacetic acid (TCA), penetrate deeper and are effective for more pronounced pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scarring. Deep peels, which may use phenol or stronger TCA solutions, reach the lower dermal layers to address severe wrinkles, scarring, or sun damage, but require a longer recovery period and are only performed under medical supervision. Your practitioner will recommend the best type of peel based on your skin type, goals, and tolerance for downtime.

  • What should I expect during and after a chemical peel treatment?

    During a chemical peel, your skin will be cleansed and the acid solution will be carefully applied. You may feel a tingling, warmth, or mild stinging sensation, which is normal and usually subsides quickly. The peel is left on for a specific amount of time before being neutralised or removed. After the treatment, your skin may appear red, feel tight, or start to flake and peel over the following days, depending on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels generally have minimal downtime, while medium or deep peels may require a week or more for full recovery. It’s important to follow all aftercare instructions, including keeping your skin moisturised, avoiding sun exposure, and not picking at peeling skin. Your practitioner will provide detailed guidance to help you achieve the best results and minimise the risk of complications.
