SKIN PEELS
Transform your complexion with our professional chemical peel treatments. This in clinic procedure uses a specialised chemical solution to remove the top layers of skin, revealing smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. Light or medium peels may require multiple sessions to achieve your desired results, but many clients notice improvement after just one treatment.
Our chemical peels effectively reduce fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, discoloration, and acne or facial scars. They can also be combined with other cosmetic procedures for enhanced results. Preparing your skin with recommended products before your peel ensures the best outcome.
After your treatment, enjoy the benefits of LED Light Therapy, designed to relax, reduce downtime, and support faster skin recovery. Whether you’re looking to refresh your skin or address specific concerns, our chemical peels provide a safe, effective solution for a radiant, rejuvenated complexion.

SKIN PEELS FAQ’S
Which peel is right for me ?
There are two different types of peel: superficial and medium. These are categorised by the strength of the acid solution used in the peel and how deeply they penetrate the skin. Deeper peels penetrate the skin further and require greater recovery time. Results are the determining factor when deciding.
How do peels work ?
The peel speeds up your natural skin’s healing process by stimulating the production of collagen and improving elastin fibres, these are what give skin its youthful form and shape. It also revitalizes sensitive skin and helps improve the appearance of irritated or inflamed skin.
Do chemical peels hurt ?
You may feel a slight stinging or mild burning sensation with superficial peel, this lets you know the peel is working on the surface and penetrating the epidermis, the sting or burn should not be painful. Medium depth peels can be more uncomfortable, the practitioner will give you a fan which helps during the active peel and post treatment once the peel has reached its target depth a hydrating mask is applied to the skin to soothe.
When will I see results ?
The time scale varies with some people seeing results early, around 5 days, for others it may be longer. Yet the appearance of the treated skin will have a more youthful texture with a uniform coloration that will blend with their untreated skin. New skin will appear radiant and fine lines will be diminished.
