Chemical Peels
Renew dull, tired skin with treatments tailored to your skin goals.
Chemical peels are skin renewal treatments designed to remove damaged surface cells and encourage healthier-looking, smoother, fresher skin underneath. Your treatment is selected according to your skin type, sensitivity, and goals, with options ranging from lighter refresh peels to deeper resurfacing approaches.
Fresh, brighter-looking skin
Peels help remove damaged surface skin cells to reveal smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Options for different needs
From light monthly peels to deeper resurfacing options, treatment can be matched to your skin.
Advanced Fire & Ice option
A lighter fractional laser paired with cooling collagen masks offers an invigorating collagen-focused treatment.

About the treatment
A chemical peel is a skin renewal technique in which active acids are applied to the skin for a controlled period and then neutralised or removed. This process helps lift away damaged surface cells and supports rebuilding and restructuring in the skin.
Key benefits
- May soften fine lines and signs of sun damage.
- Can improve glow, radiance, and overall skin freshness.
- May help lighten pigmentation irregularities and refine pores.
- Can support smoother texture and mild to moderate acne scar improvement.
Treatment options
Your therapist or doctor will choose the most suitable peel system for your skin and goals.
Light fruit acid peels
Often around 30 minutes, these peels leave the skin polished, clean, and fresh with generally little to no downtime.
NeoStrata superficial peels
The clinic notes use of the NeoStrata skin rejuvenation system, including glycolic-based peel options tailored to the patient.
TCA or Jessner peels
These deeper peel options can help with more textured or problem-prone skin, but usually involve visible peeling and downtime.
Fractional Fire & Ice
A featured advanced option combining lighter fractional laser “fire” with cooling collagen and healing masks for a refreshed glow.
Common treatment areas
Chemical peels are most often used on areas where skin texture, pigmentation, congestion, or signs of aging need support.
Your appointment journey
After assessing your skin and your goals, your doctor or therapist will recommend the right peel type, strength, and treatment spacing. Many peel programmes work best when repeated over time rather than as a once-off treatment.
Consultation & skin assessment
Your skin type, sensitivity, goals, and recent cosmetic treatments are reviewed before proceeding.
Tailored peel selection
The appropriate peel system is chosen for your needs, whether that is a lighter monthly peel or a deeper resurfacing option.
Controlled treatment
The active peel is applied for a short period and then neutralised or removed to end the treatment safely.
Aftercare guidance
You’ll be guided on sun protection, skincare reintroduction, and what to expect depending on the depth of your peel.
What to expect
Many patients notice an immediate increase in radiance after a peel. More meaningful changes in congestion, texture, and deeper skin quality usually develop with a series of treatments, often spaced around 4 weeks apart. Lighter peels generally have minimal downtime, while deeper peels may involve visible peeling for several days.
Frequently asked questions
Tap a question to expand.
How often should I have a chemical peel?
Peels are commonly recommended about once a month, which aligns with the skin’s natural cycle. Sensitive skins may need a longer gap between treatments.
Is there much downtime after a peel?
Most lighter peels have little or no downtime, and many people go straight back to work. Deeper peels such as TCA or Jessner options may involve peeling and recovery time.
When will I see improvement?
Radiance is often noticeable immediately after treatment. Acne-prone skin may start improving over 1 to 2 months, while deeper textural changes usually need multiple peels.
Who can have chemical peels?
The site notes that almost anyone can be treated, and that most skin types and shades can be successfully rejuvenated with peels after proper assessment.
What should I avoid before and after treatment?
Before treatment, recent waxing, depilatories, facials, exfoliators, tanning, hair treatments, and similar skin-reactive procedures should be disclosed. After treatment, sun exposure, excessive sweating, harsh products, rubbing, waxing, and certain devices should be avoided according to the depth of the peel.
What is the Fire & Ice facial?
Fire & Ice combines a lighter-setting fractional laser that warms the skin with an icy collagen mask and a healing finishing mask. It is positioned as a safe, comfortable collagen-focused treatment with generally little redness or swelling.
Will I peel after every treatment?
Not necessarily. Light peels are described as having generally no peeling, while deeper peels can begin peeling around 1 to 3 days later and may continue for up to 7 days.
When can I restart my normal skincare?
Normal skincare, including stronger active products, is typically reintroduced once the skin is fully healed. For deeper peels, that is commonly about a week, or once all peeling has stopped.
