What are chemical skin peels?

We offer a range of chemical skin peels that use the power of naturally occurring acids and active ingredients. They provide deep exfoliation and brighten the complexion without the undesirable micro tearing that physical exfoliation causes. The application of these acids stimulates new cell growth as well as collagen production, resulting in a clearer, more youthful complexion.

We offer a variety of different skin peels utilizing different acids (glycolic, lactic and salicylic) that are matched to your skin type and beauty goals.

Chemical skin peels offer a revolutionary way to effectively treat ageing skin, acne, reduce sun damage and hyper pigmentation. This procedure can also help the skin to appear smoother, younger, healthier, plumper and tighter.

While there are DIY home options available, these formulations are unlikely to be comparable to the medical-grade ingredients we use in our treatments. With the help of one of our skin care experts, you can relax in complete peace of mind that you’re benefitting from a professional treatment that has been chosen for your specific needs and skin type.

What you can expect before treatment

A chemical peel is usually done at our Watford treatment rooms. Before the procedure, our practitioner will clean your face, protect your hair, and cover your eyes.

After facial peel treatment

After the chemical peel, treated skin may be red, dry and mildly irritated — although these effects might will diminish with each treatment as you build up a tolerance. Our practitioner might apply a protective solution to soothe the skin. You can usually wear makeup the next day if you wish.

Chemical Peel Results / Aftercare

A chemical peel improves skin texture. The results are sometimes subtle but increase with repeated treatments. Over time, age and new sun damage can lead to new lines and skin colour changes which chemical exfoliating using acids can help treat.

With all peels, the new skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun and topical treatments. Make sure you are using effective sun protection which can be advised by one of our specialists.
