Chemical Peels
We have a fantastic selection of superficial chemicals peels with real power to transform your skin, addressing various skin concerns at the same time.
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a procedure that consists of provoking accelerated skin regeneration in a controlled manner through application of chemo-exfoliation agents, that are used to act on different layers of the skin.
Superficial peels work on the layers of the epidermis, however with a course of treatments, results can be just as effective as those of medium-depth peels.
Chemical peels are not just for renewing the layers of the skin. The acids used also offer many other benefits apart from exfoliation, these include:
-
Increased hydration
-
Antioxidant protection
-
Collagen and elastin synthesis
-
Normalisation and control of oily and acne-prone skin
-
Depigmenting effect, minimising hyper-pigmentation such as melasma, post-blemish marks and mottled pigmentation
-
Anti-inflammatory action
-
Antibacterial action
-
A more uniform skin tone and smooth skin texture

Do I need to prepare my skin beforehand?
Yes, for all the peels we offer, you need to stop any products with an exfoliating or peeling effect, including retinol five to ten days before your appointment.
You should not have had any other cosmetic treatments on your face two to four weeks before your appointment.
You will receive all the information regarding pre and post care when you fill in your consultation form.
Can I just book in for the peel or do I need a consultation beforehand?
We advise that you either book a consultation beforehand or request our consultation form at least a month before your intended appointment. This is to make sure that you have no contraindications and also that you have enough time to prepare your skin.
