Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels: Reveal brighter, clearer skin with bespoke Chemical Peels at our Derby clinic. Effectively target acne, pigmentation, and fine lines with professional resurfacing

A chemical peel is a resurfacing treatment that uses a bespoke blend of acids to gently remove the damaged outer layers of the skin. By accelerating the skin's natural exfoliation process, peels stimulate new cell growth and collagen production, leaving the complexion smoother, clearer, and more even-toned.

Not All Peels Are Created Equal

Modern aesthetic science has moved away from the "one-size-fits-all" deep peel. We offer a range of intensities tailored to your skin’s needs and your schedule:

Superficial Peels (The "Lunchtime" Peel): These use mild acids like Glycolic or Salicylic acid. They target the very top layer of skin with no downtime—perfect for a quick brightness boost.
Medium-Depth Peels: These reach the middle layer of the skin to treat more stubborn issues like pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scarring. You may experience some mild flaking for a few days.
Deep Peels: These are intensive treatments for significant sun damage or deep wrinkles. These require a longer recovery period but offer dramatic, long-lasting results.

Key Benefits

Acne & Congestion: Salicylic acid peels "degunk" pores and reduce oil production.
Hyperpigmentation: Peels help fade sun spots, melasma, and post-acne marks by lifting away pigmented cells.
Anti-Aging: By triggering a "wound healing" response, peels force the skin to produce fresh collagen, softening fine lines.
Texture & Tone: They smooth out "rough" skin and minimize the appearance of large pores.

What to Expect During Treatment

Preparation: The skin is thoroughly cleansed and "prepped" to ensure the peel penetrates evenly.
Application: The solution is applied to the skin. You may feel a warm, tingling, or "spicy" sensation for a few minutes.
Neutralization: Once the desired level of exfoliation is reached, the acid is neutralized or washed off.
Aftercare: We apply a soothing recovery balm and a high-factor SPF, as your "new" skin will be temporary sensitive to the sun.

Post-Peel Care: The Golden Rules

To ensure the best results and avoid irritation, we ask our clients to:

Hands Off: Never pick or pull at any flaking skin; let it shed naturally.
Sun Protection: SPF 50 is non-negotiable for at least two weeks post-treatment.
Simplify: Avoid using Retinol, Vitamin C, or other exfoliating acids for 5–7 days after your peel.

The Professional Difference: While "at-home" peels exist, professional-grade peels use higher concentrations and lower pH levels. These must be administered by a trained practitioner to ensure the acid doesn't penetrate too deeply or cause burning.
