How much does a facial peel cost?
The cost of our facial peels will be dependent on which type of peel your skin needs. This can be discussed with our medical aesthetic practitioners at your free consultation.
How long does a facial peel take?
A facial peel treatment will take around 30 minutes.
How do facial peels work?
Facial peels work by using a chemical solution that deeply exfoliates the skin, removing the top layers of dead skin cells to make way for cell renewal.
What skin conditions can facial peels help with?
Facial peels can address pigmentation, acne, scarring, sun damage, and wrinkles.
What results can I expect from a skin peel?
You can expect to see healthy, glowing skin that feels smoother.
A chemical face peel is a non-surgical procedure designed to give you fresher and healthier looking skin. The peel contains an acid base, which safely and effectively removes dead skin cells from the top layer of your skin. Your expert aesthetician will apply the face peel, and you’ll notice a warm sensation as the treatment starts to work on your skin. Depending on the type of chemical peel you have, a soothing cream may be applied – and you’ll notice your skin peeling around two to three days after your treatment.

What types of chemical peels do you offer?
We understand that everyone’s skin is different, and so we offer a range of different chemical peel types. The benefits vary depending on which one you choose. Typically, we offer mild, medium and deep chemical peels which contain different strengths of active ingredients to achieve different results. For instance, mild chemical face peels, such as the Obagi Blue Radiance Peel, don’t penetrate below the top layer of the skin (the epidermis). Medium strength face peels, such as Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), penetrate to the surface of the middle layer of the skin (the dermis). Deep chemical peels, such as the Phenol peel, penetrate deeper into the dermis and are commonly used to reduce sun damage or wrinkles. During your initial consultation, your professional practitioner will chat to you about the results you’d like to achieve and the different types of chemical peels available – and advise you on which would be best for your skin’s colour, texture and needs.
How often can I do a chemical peel?
How often you can have a chemical peel depends on the type of treatment you’re having. Many patients choose to have our mild face peels carried out regularly - for instance, once every two weeks - as part of their overall beauty regime. This helps to keep skin looking and feeling radiant, smooth and blemish-free. Medium-strength face peels such as our Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) peel can be done once every month or two to maintain results. When you speak to your friendly patient advisor, they’ll let you know how often you can do a chemical peel depending on your desired results and skin type.
What does a chemical peel do?
Essentially, both face and body chemical peels do the same thing – exfoliate the skin. Each of our skin peeling treatments is medically formulated with an acid base to remove dead skin cells safely and effectively from the top layers of the skin. Once applied, the chemical peel brings the pH of your skin to a specific level of acidity, which loosens dead and damaged skin cells and encourages cell renewal. This results in bright and radiant looking skin. You can get chemical peels for scars, to reduce lines and wrinkles, reverse sun damage and more.
Are there any chemical peel side effects?
As with most medical aesthetic treatments, you may experience some minor chemical peel side effects. Most commonly, this may be temporary dry skin, peeling or flaking, and some redness. These are completely normal after a skin peel, and they’ll gradually ease until they disappear completely after a few days. Of course, the chemical peel side effects will vary depending on the strength of the treatment you’ve had and how sensitive your skin is, but your JCCP-registered practitioner will explain this to you before your treatment so you know what to expect. They’ll also give you chemical peel aftercare advice, such as the best products to use to minimise potential side effects.
How long is the chemical peel recovery time?
Following a chemical peel recovery times can vary, depending on the type of peel you’ve had and how sensitive your skin is. For instance, if you have a mild face peel, you should be able to carry on with the rest of your day as normal following your treatment, whereas if you have a deep chemical peel, the recovery time may be between 7 and 10 days. Rest assured that your expert aesthetician will be able to advise on the likely recovery time for your procedure and answer any questions you may have. Please be aware that you’ll have particularly sensitive skin after a chemical peel, so it’s important to wear high-strength sun block following treatment.
Is there a chemical peel aftercare regime to follow to maintain the results?
We understand that your chemical face peel may just be the first step in your skin transformation journey, and we’re here to help you every step of the way. Our expert aestheticians will give you all the chemical peel aftercare tips you need to help you maintain your beautiful radiant glow following your skin peel. They’ll let you know which products to use, how best to look after your skin, and advise you about any ongoing treatments you may need. For instance, certain face peels such as our Glycolic and Obagi Blue Peel are usually most effective when treatment is carried out every two weeks as part of a chemical peel course. We’ll create a bespoke treatment plan for you during your consultation once we know exactly what results you’d like to achieve. It’s important to know that you’re likely to have sensitive skin after a chemical peel, so you’ll need to apply strong sunscreen as part of your chemical peel aftercare routine.
