Chemical peels

A chemical peel applies a solution to the skin to remove its outer layers, so that fresher skin can form. Our team chooses the type and strength of peel for your skin and your goals.

All procedures carry risks and results vary. Read about recovery and risks below.

About peels

Light peels work on the surface and may be repeated as a course. Medium-depth peels go further and need more recovery. Deeper peels carry higher risks and aren’t right for everyone.

Suitability

Who it may suit

People with dullness, mild pigmentation, sun damage or mild texture concerns.

Before you decide

Recovery and risks

Every option carries risks, and your practitioner will explain them in detail before you decide.

Recovery

Light peels mean a few days of redness and flaking; medium peels mean around a week of peeling. Strict sun protection is needed afterwards.

Recovery varies from person to person.

Possible risks

Redness, stinging, prolonged peeling, infection, cold sore flare, darker or lighter patches of skin, and rarely scarring.
