WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL
A chemical peel is an acid-based skin renewal treatment. Peels vary in depth and formulation, from lighter options suited to surface concerns like dullness and uneven tone to more targeted formulations for deeper concerns like scarring or stubborn pigmentation. It is one of the most established skin treatments available to improve the appearance of texture, tone and clarity.
Results develop progressively in the days following treatment. Many clients notice a visible improvement in clarity and evenness within a week or two, with texture and tone that can continue to refine over a full course of sessions.
Before every peel, we carry out a skin assessment covering your skin type, its current condition and any recent treatments. We confirm the right formulation, or let you know if a different approach would better suit your skin.
HOW IT HELPS
Chemical peels address a range of skin concerns. Results can vary depending on your skin and the concern being treated, but these are the ones where they tend to perform most consistently.
A chemical peel removes the outermost layer of the skin, revealing a smoother, more even surface beneath. Many clients notice a visible improvement in tone and texture within a few days, with results that can continue to build with each session.
Surface pigmentation, including sun damage and post-inflammatory marks, can respond well to a targeted course of chemical peels. The treatment encourages cell turnover, gradually reducing the appearance of uneven pigmentation and supporting a clearer, more balanced complexion.
By clearing the dead skin cells and excess sebum that contribute to blocked pores, chemical peels can help reduce the appearance of active breakouts and the frequency of congestion over time. They work well as part of an ongoing approach to managing acne-prone skin.
Chemical peels stimulate collagen production as the skin renews itself following treatment, helping to gradually soften the appearance of fine lines and improve overall skin quality. The benefit can build progressively with each session.
Skin that looks dull or tired can respond well to chemical peels. The resurfacing process removes what has built up on the surface, and the skin that forms beneath is typically brighter, clearer and more even in tone.
Post-acne marks and superficial scarring can respond well to a consistent course of chemical peels. The red or brown marks left by breakouts tend to fade fairly quickly; more textural scarring takes longer but may continue to improve with a sustained approach.
The Process
Every appointment follows the same structure, though the peel itself is tailored to where your skin is on the day. Here is what to expect when you come in.
We begin with a careful look at your skin, asking about your concerns and what you want to achieve. The peel formulation and depth are determined here, based on what we actually see on the day.
Your skin is cleansed and any residual product removed before the peel solution is applied. We work methodically to ensure even coverage.
The peel solution is applied to the treatment area and left to work for the appropriate duration. You may feel a mild tingling or warmth, which is completely normal. We monitor your skin closely throughout.
The peel is neutralised and removed, and a calming serum is applied straight after. We go through your aftercare before you leave so you know exactly what to expect as your skin renews.
Peeling and renewal happens in the days after treatment. We will review your skin at your next appointment and adjust the formulation based on your response to the treatment.

Book a Free ConsultationMost clients experience mild tingling or warmth rather than pain, and the sensation depends on the peel formulation. If you have any concerns about comfort, bring them to the consultation.
It depends on the peel. Lighter peels involve minimal visible shedding, and most clients return to their usual routine the same day. Deeper peels, sometimes referred to as resurfacing peels, involve more visible renewal over several days. We go through exactly what to expect before you leave.
It depends on your skin and the concern you are addressing. Most clients see a real difference after three to four sessions, spaced three to four weeks apart. We give you a clear recommendation at your consultation based on what we see on the day.
Most skin types respond well to chemical peels when the formulation is right for them. We assess your skin carefully at consultation and will tell you honestly if we think a different treatment would serve you better.
Yes, and they often work well alongside other treatments. The key is sequencing them correctly so each one supports the last. We will map this out at your consultation.
