Chemical Peel FAQs
Different types of chemical peels are used for different reasons. Superficial (light) chemical peels remove the top layer of your skin so that it looks smoother, with less wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation when new skin cells grow. Medium peels target similar issues at a deeper level; and deep peels target the deepest skin cells, and is often used to treat severe sun damage. You may experience some stinging during a chemical peel, but this is normal.
A superficial peel (also known as a light peel) can achieve results that last 1-2 months; medium peel results last 2-6 months, and the results of a deep peel should last for life.
A chemical peel removes skin cells from different layers of your skin, stimulating new skin cell growth in the process. Skin will start to peel like sunburn 3-5 days after your treatment. This promotes new skin cell generation which should make your skin look smoother and can help reduce wrinkles, acne, and unwanted pigmentations, like age spots.
You’re likely to to pay around £80 for a chemical peel, but expect to pay anywhere between £50 and £385.
Your skin will start to flake (like sunburn) 3-5 days after your peel, and you’ll probably only start to see the real results when new skin cells generate. It’s likely that you’ll notice an improvement in skin tone and texture after your first session, but it normally takes several treatments to achieve your desired skin goal.
When carried out by an experienced dermatologist or practitioner, chemical peels can achieve great results, reducing skin discoloration, wrinkles, and acne with minimal discomfort. However, you need to be prepared for your skin to start peeling 3-5 days after your treatment in a similar way to flaking, sun-burned skin. Your skin will be vulnerable at this stage: pick at it and you could cause irritation and infection. Those prone to acne may experience breakouts, but these should clear up within a few days, leaving your skin looking healthier. You’ll also need to avoid high temperatures, over-exertion, and wearing makeup for 1-2 weeks.

Depending on which level you opt for, a chemical peel works by removing the top outermost layer of skin, leaving you ultimately with regenerated skin that can look brighter and tighter. A face peel can include retinol or salicylic acid to exfoliate the skin, or sometimes glycolic acid to stimulate collagen and aid the appearance of acne scars.
