An Overview Of Medical Chemical Peels: A Deep Skin Resurfacing Treatment
Medical chemical peels are advanced cosmetic treatments that use a customised chemical solution to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. This procedure effectively removes the damaged outer layers of skin, revealing a smoother, clearer, and more youthful complexion. Chemical peels are commonly used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture.
EnquireHow Medical Chemical Peel works:
Consultation
During your consultation, the practitioner will assess your skin and discuss your concerns and goals to determine the type and strength of the peel that is most appropriate for you.
Preparation
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any impurities or oils before applying the chemical solution.
Application
The chemical peel solution is applied evenly across the treatment area. Depending on the depth of the peel, you may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation. The peel is left on the skin for a specific period of time before being neutralised and removed.
Post-Treatment Care
A soothing moisturiser and sunscreen will be applied after the peel to protect the skin. You will be given post-care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
Recovery and Downtime
Superficial Peels: Minimal downtime; you may experience some redness or flaking for a few days, but this typically resolves quickly.
Medium Peels: Expect redness, swelling, and peeling for 5-7 days as the skin sheds. The skin may feel tight, and you will need to follow a gentle skincare regimen during the healing process.
Deep Peels: Deep peels require a longer recovery period, typically 10-14 days, with redness, peeling, and significant swelling. Post-treatment care is crucial, and you may need to avoid sun exposure and adhere to a specific skincare routine during healing.
Treatment Schedule
Superficial Peels: Can be performed every 4-6 weeks as part of a regular skincare regimen.
Medium Peels: Typically done every 3-6 months, depending on skin goals and concerns.
Deep Peels: Deep peels are usually a one-time treatment with long-lasting results, though they may be repeated in the future if necessary.
Benefits Of Medical Chemical Peels:
- Smooths Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By removing the outer layers of skin, chemical peels help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Peels enhance skin clarity and tone, addressing issues like rough texture, uneven pigmentation, and dullness.
- Reduces Hyperpigmentation: Helps lighten dark spots, melasma, sun damage, and acne scars, promoting a more even complexion.
- Minimizes Acne and Scars: Chemical peels can help unclog pores, reduce acne breakouts, and diminish the appearance of acne scars.
- Stimulates Collagen Production: Deeper peels can boost collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness.

EnquireFrequently Asked Questions
How do Chemical Peels work?
A chemical peel involves applying a solution, typically containing acids like glycolic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic acid (TCA), to the surface of the skin. This solution penetrates the skin to varying depths, depending on the type of peel, breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells. Over the following days, the treated skin exfoliates and peels off, allowing new, healthy skin to regenerate in its place. The depth and strength of the peel can be customized based on individual skin concerns and desired results.
Types of Chemical Peels
Superficial Peels (Light Peels): These peels target the outermost layer of skin (epidermis) and are ideal for mild skin concerns like minor blemishes, dullness, or fine lines. Common ingredients include glycolic acid and salicylic acid. Light peels have minimal downtime, and recovery is quick, making them ideal for regular maintenance.
Medium Peels: Medium-depth peels penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching the middle layer (dermis). They are used to treat moderate skin issues like wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is commonly used in medium peels. These peels involve a few days of downtime as the skin sheds and heals.
Deep Peels: Deep chemical peels, often containing stronger acids like phenol or high-concentration TCA, penetrate deep into the dermis to treat more severe skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, or significant scarring. These peels require a longer recovery period but deliver more dramatic, long-lasting results.
What are some common treatment areas?
Face: The most common area for chemical peels, targeting signs of aging, pigmentation, and texture issues.
Neck and Décolletage: These areas are often treated to reduce signs of sun damage and aging, including wrinkles and uneven skin tone.
Hands: Chemical peels can rejuvenate the skin on the hands, improving texture and reducing age spots.
Who Is a good candidate for Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns. However, they are most effective for individuals seeking to improve signs of aging, pigmentation issues, acne scars, or overall skin texture. Individuals with darker skin tones or those with sensitive skin should consult with a practitioner to determine the best peel for their specific needs, as certain peels may carry a risk of hyperpigmentation. Those with active infections or severe skin conditions like eczema may not be ideal candidates for peels.
How long do results last?
Results from chemical peels can last several months to a year, depending on the type of peel and individual skin type. With regular maintenance treatments (especially for superficial or medium peels), the effects can be prolonged, keeping the skin smooth and radiant over time.
What Are Some Aftercare Tips?
Moisturise and Protect: Keep the skin well-hydrated with a gentle moisturizer and always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with high SPF to protect the skin from sun damage.
Avoid Picking or Peeling: Allow the skin to shed naturally to avoid scarring or irritation.
Follow a Gentle Skincare Routine: Avoid harsh scrubs, retinoids, or exfoliating products until your skin has fully healed.

What our clients say...
I would 100 percent recommend Alan!! I went to him with an issue regarding my first ever lip filler being incorrect (done by a different practitioner) and lumpy. He talked me through every stage of what I'd have to go through to get the lips I actually dreamed of. He was amazing with the dissolving. I then rebooked with him for a month later to refill and I'm so glad that I did! It's only been a couple days since they were refilled but already they are so much better!
Not only would I recommend him for the beautiful and skilled work that he does, but he's also an absolute diamond & thank you so much again Alan!! xxxx
I am so happy with the results! Alan is such a lovely person and really knows his stuff. He puts you at ease straight away and could not be more helpful. Thank you
I've had my lips done with Alan twice now and loved the results both times! I was so nervous for my first time, but Alan really made me feel at ease. The aftercare was fab too, with Alan taking the time to answer all of my questions and check in with me regularly. Highly recommend.
I had my first visit with Alan last week, I was so nervous but he made me feel at ease straight away. As it was my first time I had a million and one questions and there wasn't one he couldn't answer. I cannot wait for my next appointment and couldn't recommend him enough to family and friends.
Having had a number of different treatments with Alan, he is now my go to. Incredibly knowledgeable, professional, friendly and reassuring. Goes above and beyond to get you an appointment that works around general life and just all round amazing.
5-star review here!! I cannot recommend Alan highly enough! His expertise in beauty treatments is truly second to none. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism, instantly putting me at ease.
His skill and attention to detail during the treatment were remarkable, and I left feeling rejuvenated and confident in my appearance. What truly sets him apart is his exceptional aftercare - he provided personalised recommendations and followed up to ensure I was satisfied with the results. His genuine care for his clients shines through, and I am incredibly grateful for the transformative experience he provided. If you're looking for a top-tier therapist who delivers exceptional results and unparalleled aftercare, look no further! 5 stars across the board. THANK YOU

He is the loveliest person and by god he knows his stuff! He is so knowledgable, from the moment I spoke to him on the phone I knew I was in good hands! I had labia rejuvenation and the OShot and I feel like a brand new women, honestly Alan thank you so so so much!
