The formula matters.
A chemical peel exfoliates the skin to address concerns such as dullness, congestion, rough texture or uneven tone. The choice of peel determines both the treatment goal and the recovery.
Explore the formulations
Temporary pinkness or warmth can occur. Dryness, tightness and flaking may follow; more visible peeling does not automatically mean a better result.
Recovery depends on the formula and your skin. Some people have little visible peeling; others continue to flake beyond the first week.
Choose the treatment, not the peeling.
A professional peel applies an active formulation to exfoliate the skin surface. The formula, exposure and your skin’s condition affect both the result and the recovery. A stronger peel is not automatically a better peel.
Choose from four express peels and two longer Aspect facial options. Choose by the concern and preparation required, rather than by how much visible peeling you expect.

A considered choice
Avoid choosing a peel simply to treat an unexplained dark spot or rash. New or changing lesions need medical assessment, while melasma and post-inflammatory pigment require careful planning.
Tell us about medicines, retinoids and exfoliating acids, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, cold sores, healing problems, recent treatments and sun exposure. Do not stop prescribed medicines without your prescriber’s advice.
Ask whether preparation is needed for your chosen peel. Do not invent a priming routine or add extra exfoliation before the appointment.
At your appointment
This is a general treatment guide. Your exact steps and suitability are confirmed before treatment.
Review the concern, pigment history, allergies, active skincare and recent procedures. Some peel plans require preparation before treatment day.
A typical peel appointment starts by preparing clean skin. The planned formula and expected sensations should be explained.
The selected peel is applied and the skin response monitored. Removal or neutralisation follows the specific product protocol; formulas are not interchangeable.
Post-peel care focuses on comfort, moisture and protection. Follow the actual product instructions, including any specific cleansing or leave-on advice.
Tingling, temporary redness, dryness or flaking can occur. Use the recommended moisturiser and sun protection, avoid picking and pause exfoliating products until advised to restart.
Reading the response
A smoother, brighter-looking surface is the goal. Visible sheets of peeling are not proof of a better result, and a lack of visible flaking does not mean nothing happened.
Temporary redness, dryness or flaking can occur. Infection, persistent irritation and darker or lighter marks are possible; risk depends on the peel, skin and aftercare.
Mild pinkness or warmth may occur. Use the moisturiser and aftercare recommended for your peel.
Dryness or tightness may develop. Keep skincare gentle and avoid scrubbing or picking.
Flaking may become more noticeable and can continue beyond day seven. Follow your peel-specific advice before restarting exfoliants or other active products.
A general planning guide, not a fixed healing schedule. Your treatment settings and skin response may change the timing. Follow the aftercare given for your appointment.
A little more clarity
The choice depends on your skin, goals and tolerance. Different formulations address concerns such as dehydration, congestion, uneven tone or signs of ageing. We assess your skin and confirm an appropriate option rather than asking you to select a stronger peel yourself.
We use Aspect Professional peels. The specific formulation, preparation and aftercare are selected for your skin; your practitioner will confirm the treatment being used.
Mild pinkness and later flaking can occur, but oozing should not be treated as an expected sign of a routine superficial peel. Contact the clinic if you develop weeping, blistering, significant pain or worsening redness.
Sensitivity can last around three to five days, with possible flaking for up to ten days. Some people have little visible peeling. The response depends on the formulation, treatment intensity and your skin.
A course of around three to six treatments is commonly discussed, although some concerns require a different plan or ongoing maintenance. We review your response and adjust the schedule; a particular result is not guaranteed.
Temporary breakouts can occur, particularly in congestion-prone skin. However, do not assume every new rash, painful breakout or worsening reaction is normal purging. Contact the clinic for advice if your skin deteriorates or you are concerned.
Follow the aftercare provided for your peel. Keep skincare gentle, moisturise as advised, protect your skin from the sun and do not pick or pull at flaking skin. Ask us when to restart exfoliating or other active products.
Tell us before booking. Some formulations contain ingredients that may not be appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding, including retinoids. We can assess whether to use a different option or postpone treatment; check with your healthcare provider where needed.
No. New or changing spots need medical assessment first. Melasma and post-breakout pigment need careful planning because irritation can worsen pigmentation, particularly in darker skin.
Both exfoliate, but a scrub relies on physical friction while a peel uses an active formulation. Combining extra exfoliation at home can irritate freshly treated skin.
Possibly. Preparation depends on the selected formula and your current routine. Confirm the plan before the appointment rather than starting strong products or stopping medicines on your own.
Some peels may be appropriate, but pigment changes after irritation are an important consideration. Share any history of dark marks after acne, injury or previous treatments.
Start with your skin
We check your skin, health history and treatment suitability before proceeding. Results vary.
