Our range of peel brands include:

Depending on your needs, your therapist may, for example recommend a combination approach of Laser and Chemical Peels to enhance the benefits of your treatment.
BENEFITS
of Clinical Peels
Exfoliation
Peels remove dead skin cells from the surface, promoting cell turnover and revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath.
Improves Skin Texture
Regular peels can refine skin texture, reducing the appearance of roughness, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Reduces Hyperpigmentation
Peels can lighten dark spots, sun damage, and age spots by targeting excess melanin production.
Treats Acne
Peels can unclog pores, reduce oil production, and decrease inflammation, making them effective for acne-prone skin.
Evens Skin Tone
Peels can help even out skin tone by reducing redness, blotchiness, and discolouration.
Reduces Scarring
Peels can minimise the appearance of acne scars by promoting skin regeneration.
Enhances Product Absorption
By removing dead skin cells, peels allow skincare products to penetrate more deeply, increasing their effectiveness.
Boosts Radiance
Regular peels can give the skin a healthy glow and luminosity by improving overall skin health.
Customisable Treatment: Peels come in various strengths and formulations, allowing for customised treatments based on individual skin types and concerns.

**Results may vary from person to person
PROCEDURE
A clinical peel procedure begins with a consultation where our dermal therapist will assesses your skin type, concerns, and goals. This evaluation helps determine the most suitable peel for you.
Following the peel, your skin is moisturised with a soothing cream or lotion to hydrate and protect.
Sun protection is crucial as the skin becomes more sensitive to UV radiation. Your dermal therapist provides post-peel care instructions, which may include avoiding certain skincare products, activities, or sun exposure for a few days to a week.
Over time, you should notice improvements in skin texture, tone, and clarity as part of the skin renewal process.
It’s essential to have peels performed by trained professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness tailored to your specific skin concerns.
Frequently Asked
Questions
CLINICAL PEELS
Clinical skin peels, also known as chemical peels, are cosmetic treatments that involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin. This solution exfoliates the outer layer of skin, leading to improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and a more even complexion.
Skin peels can address various concerns, including:
- Acne and acne scars
- Uneven skin tone
- Sun damage and age spots
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Rough skin texture
- Hyperpigmentation
- Melasma
The duration of a skin peel procedure depends on the type and depth of the peel. Superficial peels typically take 30 to 60 minutes.
Most patients experience a mild tingling or stinging sensation during the skin peel procedure. Superficial peels are generally well-tolerated.
Usually there is no recovery time. Superficial peels may cause mild redness and peeling for a few days.
The number of sessions needed depends on the individual’s skin concerns and the type of peel used. Some people may see significant improvement after a single session, while others may benefit from multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal results.
While skin peels are generally safe, they can carry some risks and side effects, including:
- Redness and irritation
Swelling - Peeling and flaking
- Changes in skin pigmentation
- Infection (rare)
- Scarring (rare, especially with deep peels)
It’s essential to follow your dermal therapist’s post-peel care instructions to minimise these risks and ensure a smooth recovery.
Good candidates for skin peels are generally in good health and have realistic expectations about the results. People with certain skin conditions or medical histories may not be suitable candidates for skin peels, so it’s crucial to have a consultation before undergoing treatment.
The duration of results can vary depending on factors such as skin type, skincare routine, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors. Generally, superficial peels may need to be repeated every 4 to 6 weeks for maintenance, while deeper peels may provide longer-lasting results that can last several months to years with proper skincare and sun protection.
