What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a clinical-grade skin treatment that uses exfoliating acids to gently remove the outermost layers of skin. This accelerates cell turnover, reduces imperfections, and reveals smoother, brighter, more even-toned skin beneath.

At our London clinic, we tailor each peel to your skin type and goals—whether that’s treating breakouts, softening lines, or restoring radiance. We offer a range of advanced formulas, including The Perfect Peel®. This powerful treatment is available in both half-strength (medium-depth) and full-strength (deep) formulations, allowing us to tailor the intensity based on your skin’s sensitivity and the results you’re seeking.
‍
The Perfect PeelÂŽ contains a unique blend of ingredients including glutathione, kojic acid, TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, and vitamin C, delivering comprehensive skin rejuvenation in just one session.

Common Skin Concerns We Treat

  • Acne and congested skin
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hyperpigmentation and melasma
  • Dull, uneven skin tone
  • Sun damage
  • Enlarged pores
  • Textural irregularities

Types of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are generally classified into three types: superficial, medium, and deep.

colors-1

Superficial Peels

Use gentle acids like glycolic or lactic acid to exfoliate the outermost layer of skin. Ideal for improving texture, dullness, and mild congestion with no downtime.

colors-1

Medium Peels

 Penetrate deeper using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to target pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scars. These may involve light peeling and a few days of recovery.

colors-1

Deep Peels

Use stronger acids to treat advanced sun damage, deep wrinkles, or severe discolouration. Results are more dramatic, but the recovery time is longer.

At our London clinic, every chemical peel is tailored to your skin type, goals, and tolerance—ensuring safe, effective, and visible results.

Treatment Overview

Here's what you can expect from the fat-freezing procedure:

Initial Consultation

You’ll begin with a 1-on-1 consultation where we assess your skin and recommend the most suitable type of peel for your concerns and goals.

During Treatment

After cleansing and prepping the skin, the chosen peel is applied. You may feel tingling or mild warmth. Sessions typically last 30–45 minutes.

Post-Treatment

You may experience mild redness or flaking for a few days. We’ll provide tailored aftercare to protect your skin and enhance results.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chemical skin peel treatment?

A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of the skin. This exfoliation process dissolves dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and encourages new cell growth. Depending on the depth of the peel, it can also improve collagen production and lighten areas of pigmentation.

What is a deep chemical peel?

A deep chemical peel penetrates the lower layers of the skin for more dramatic results. While it may involve a longer healing period and more visible peeling, the improvement in skin tone, texture, and lines tends to be more significant compared to lighter peels.

Who can benefit from a chemical peel?

Chemical peels are suitable for many skin types and skin conditions. They’re especially beneficial for those wanting to reduce fine lines, acne, pigmentation, enlarged pores, or sun-damaged skin and for anyone seeking smoother, more even skin texture.

Is a chemical peel painful?

Most patients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or warm feeling. It’s generally very tolerable and does not require anaesthetic, especially for superficial or medium-depth peels.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime depends on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels may cause minor redness or flaking for a day or two, while deeper peels may require up to a week of recovery. The practitioner will advise you on aftercare and what to expect post-treatment.
