“I have tried every serum for my pigmentation.”

Acne, uneven tone, dullness and texture all start at the surface. Professional chemical peels exfoliate in a controlled way, so new, healthier skin can come through.

Why it happens

Pigment, congestion and texture sit in layers that skincare alone struggles to reach.

Over time, dead skin builds up, pores congest and pigment from sun, hormones or old breakouts settles in. A professional peel removes the outer layers in a controlled way and encourages fresh, more even skin to come through.

Prepare

We check your skin type and history, and choose a peel strength that suits you.

02

Apply

The peel is applied and closely monitored, then neutralised or removed.

Protect

Calming products and SPF finish the treatment, with clear aftercare.

What people believe · what is true

“I will peel for a week.”

Many peels cause little or no visible peeling. We tell you exactly what to expect from yours.

“Peels are not safe for darker skin.”

The right peel, chosen carefully, can be. We take particular care to avoid post-inflammatory pigmentation.

“Stronger is better.”

Not true. A course of well-chosen peels is usually safer and more effective than one aggressive one.

“I can skip SPF afterwards.”

Never. Daily SPF protects your results and your skin.

What to realistically expect

Same day

Skin may feel warm or tight, and look slightly pink.

Days 2 – 5

Light flaking for some peels. Skin then looks fresher.

Two to four weeks

Time for your next peel in a course.

End of course

More even tone, clearer skin and smoother texture.

Questions we are asked every week

Does it sting?

You may feel tingling or warmth while the peel is on. It is closely monitored and usually brief.

How much downtime is there?

From none to a few days of light flaking, depending on the peel. We tell you in advance.

Are peels suitable for deeper skin tones?

Yes, when chosen carefully. We select peels that minimise the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.

How many peels will I need?

Most concerns respond best to a course a few weeks apart. We agree a plan at consultation.

What should I avoid before a peel?

We will usually ask you to pause retinoids and avoid waxing or sunbeds beforehand. Full instructions are given at booking.

The best peel is not the strongest one. It is the one chosen for your skin.

We will tell you honestly whether this is right for your skin.

Every treatment here begins with a Skin Health Assessment — a proper look at your skin, a conversation about what is bothering you, and a written plan you can take away and think about.
