Chemical peels - Everything you need to know

Should you have a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a solution which is applied to your face, once it has been prepped and cleaned, this purpose of chemical peels is to remove dead skin and stimulate cell growths. The chemical peels you can buy at home are not the same peels that are used in salons. The quality of the ingredients and strength are very different; salon chemical peels have a higher strength exfoliant.

Depending on the chemical peels used, it can target different problematic areas – find out more here. 

We offer chemical peels which are superficial but vary in their strength. The deeper the chemical peel the more risk the procedure carries. 

Peels…exfoliate…skincare 

We ensure that your skin is cleaned, the doses are correct and the place is sanitised to remove the risk of bacteria and infections. 

Chemical peels need to be repeated on a monthly basis until you achieve the skin you want, after which you can space out the treatments.
