Chemical peels are advanced skin treatments designed to improve skin texture, tone and clarity by removing dull, damaged outer layers of skin and stimulating healthy cell renewal.
At our clinic, we offer a carefully selected range of chemical peels, chosen based on your individual skin concerns and goals. Each peel is prescribed following a detailed consultation to ensure safe, effective and targeted results.
Whether your concern is acne, pigmentation, dull skin or early signs of ageing, your treatment will be fully tailored to your skin.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a controlled solution of active ingredients to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin.
This process removes damaged skin cells and encourages fresh, healthy skin regeneration, resulting in a smoother, clearer and more even complexion.
Different peel formulations are used depending on the skin concern, ranging from gentle glow-enhancing peels to more intensive resurfacing treatments.

How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Chemical peels work by applying a controlled solution of active ingredients (such as AHAs, BHAs or combination acids) to the skin. This process:
-
Breaks down bonds between dead skin cells
-
Removes dull and damaged surface layers
-
Stimulates new skin cell production
-
Encourages collagen and elastin activity over time
-
The result is fresher, clearer and more refined skin, with continued improvement over a course of treatments.
Treatment Areas
Chemical peels can be used on multiple areas, including:
-
Face
-
Neck
-
Décolletage
-
Back (acne-prone areas)

They are suitable for both general skin rejuvenation and targeted concerns such as pigmentation, acne or texture irregularities.

CONSULTATION
1
The process begins with a detailed skin consultation. Before treatment, we assess:
-
Skin type and sensitivity
-
Presence of acne, pigmentation or ageing concerns
-
Skin barrier health and tolerance
-
Previous treatments and skincare routine
-
Desired outcome and downtime preference
Based on this assessment, we select the most appropriate peel formulation, ensuring optimal results with safety and precision.
TREATMENT

Chemical peel treatments are typically quick and efficient, taking around 30–45 minutes.
Your appointment includes:
-
Skin consultation and preparation
-
Thorough cleansing of the skin
-
Application of selected Clinicare or Obagi peel
-
Controlled treatment time based on skin response
-
Neutralisation (if required)
-
Soothing post-treatment skincare
A mild tingling or warm sensation may be experienced during treatment, which is normal.
AFTERCARE

Following a chemical peel, we recommend:
-
Avoid sun exposure and use SPF daily (essential)
