We proudly use premium formulations, including the renowned Perfect Peel, to deliver safe, clinically effective results for all skin types.
What Is a Chemical Skin Peel?
A chemical peel is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses safe chemical solutions to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This process stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, revealing brighter, smoother, and more even-toned skin beneath.
Peels range from mild (superficial exfoliation) to more advanced formulations that reach deeper layers of the skin – ideal for targeting acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, and pigmentation.
Key Benefits of a Chemical Skin Peel
- Brightens dull, uneven skin tone
- Reduces appearance of pigmentation and dark spots
- Softens acne scars and textural irregularities
- Smooths fine lines and roughness
- Minimises pores and oiliness
- Revitalises the face, neck, or décolletage
Whether your concern is ageing, scarring, or general lack of glow, chemical peels are a versatile and effective option for healthy skin renewal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Perfect Peel safe?
Yes, Perfect Peel is a clinically approved and widely used treatment in the UK. It has been developed to strict medical standards and is only administered by trained professionals. The formula contains medical-grade ingredients, including powerful antioxidants like glutathione, which help reduce inflammation and support post-treatment healing. It is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it a safe and effective option for a broad range of patients.
Will it help with acne or scarring?
Absolutely. The exfoliating and cell-renewing action of a peel helps reduce acne scars, shrink pores, and prevent future breakouts. The Perfect Peel is particularly effective for both active acne and post-acne marks.
How long will I peel?
Peeling usually begins 2-3 days after treatment and can last 5-7 days. The depth and intensity of peeling depends on the type of peel used and your skin's condition.
Can I wear makeup after my peel?
You should avoid makeup for at least 24-48 hours after treatment. Once the peeling phase has passed, you can resume normal makeup use – ideally with mineral-based, non-comedogenic products.
How often can I have a peel?
Light peels can be done monthly, while medium peels like the Perfect Peel are usually recommended every 8-12 weeks. We’ll help you choose the ideal schedule based on your skin goals.
