Chemical Peels
Brighten, improve texture and reduce congestion.
Chemical peels are a powerful resurfacing treatment designed to exfoliate the skin at a deeper level than at-home products. By applying a specialised chemical solution, the outermost layers of dead skin are gently removed, encouraging fresh, healthy skin cells to rise to the surface. This process stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, resulting in improved texture, clarity, and tone.
What are the benefits?

What can I expect during treatment?
After your skin is thoroughly cleansed, a solution tailored to your skin type is applied to the face. You may experience a warm, tingling, or slightly stinging sensation while the solution is active. Following the treatment, your skin may appear pink or red, similar to a mild sunburn. Over the next few days, you might notice light flaking or peeling as the old skin sloughs off to reveal the new layer beneath. Total downtime is minimal, but sun protection is essential during the recovery phase.
Possible side effects and risks
Common temporary effects include redness, peeling, and sensitivity. These generally settle naturally. Less common complications include infection or hyperpigmentation if proper sun protection is not followed. Your practitioner will explain all risks during your consultation.
Who may benefit from chemical peels?
Chemical peels are suitable for individuals looking to address specific skin concerns such as congestion, aging, or uneven pigmentation. A course of treatment is commonly recommended rather than relying on a single treatment.
When will I see the results?
Many people notice their skin feels smoother and more radiant straight away, though results can vary. During the first few days following treatment, you may experience light flaking as your skin renews, revealing refined texture, improved clarity and a brighter, more even tone.deep texture and tone improvements develop over a few weeks as new cells reach the surface. Optimal results are seen after a series of treatments.
We recommend no active products for 7 days post treatment (exfoliants, retinol, AHAs or BHAS) and you should wear SPF 50 everyday. Post care details will be provided at the completion of your appointment.
