Chemical Peels

Medical-grade chemical peels can effectively address a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, enlarged pores, acne, and acne scarring. However, the suitability of each peel depends on your individual skin type and condition. Deeper peels may carry higher risks for darker skin tones, so a thorough consultation is essential to ensure the safest and most effective treatment.

Medical-grade chemical peels can be applied to multiple areas of the face and body. Common treatment zones include the face, neck, décolletage, hands, back, chest, shoulders, and even the buttocks. The ideal treatment area and peel depth will vary based on your specific skin concerns and skin type, ensuring a personalised and effective approach.

Results from medical-grade chemical peels often begin to appear within the first week, with more significant and lasting improvements developing over the following weeks—particularly when part of a treatment series. Mild redness, tightness, or peeling may occur initially, but these effects typically resolve within a few days to a week.

The duration of results from medical-grade chemical peels depends on the depth of the peel. Light peels provide a fresh, radiant glow that lasts a few weeks and is best maintained with regular sessions. Medium-depth peels offer more noticeable improvements in texture and tone, lasting several months. Deep peels deliver significant, long-term rejuvenation, with results that can endure for years when supported by a consistent skincare routine.

During a medical-grade chemical peel, a specially formulated solution is applied to gently exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, revealing a smoother, more radiant, and even-toned complexion. You may feel a mild tingling or stinging sensation during the treatment. Post-peel, it’s common to experience some redness, tightness, or light peeling as your skin naturally renews itself.

Medical-grade chemical peels may cause some side effects, but these are usually mild and short-lived. Common reactions include redness, dryness, peeling, or slight swelling, which generally resolve within a few days to a week. Deeper peels can lead to more pronounced peeling, crusting, or temporary changes in skin tone. Serious complications like scarring or infection are rare, particularly when the procedure is carried out by our experienced professionals.

Proper aftercare is essential following a chemical peel to support healing and enhance results and this will be thoroughly explained by your practitioner. Gently cleanse with lukewarm water, moisturise with fragrance-free products, and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily. Avoid picking or peeling the skin, intense physical activity, and using harsh or active skincare ingredients during the recovery period.
