The ultimate solution for flawless skin
Reveal Your Radiance
Achieve smoother, clearer skin with our gentle yet powerful chemical peel treatments.
What it is
A medical peel, or chemical peel, is a treatment where a carefully formulated chemical blend is applied to your skin to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. Depending on your skin type and specific concerns, different types and strengths of chemical peels are used. The blend is left on for 15-20 minutes, followed by the application of a customised mask to soothe and nourish your skin. The entire procedure usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes. After the treatment, you’ll enjoy a visibly smoother, clearer, and more radiant complexion, leaving you with a refreshed, rejuvenated, and glowing feel.
Who it’s for
Chemical peels are ideal for both men and women looking to enhance their skin’s texture and tone without undergoing invasive procedures or experiencing downtime. They effectively address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation. Regular monthly treatments can significantly improve skin clarity, reduce fine lines, and promote a smoother, more youthful complexion. The treatment can be customised to accommodate various skin types and conditions, making it a flexible option for achieving a clearer, more radiant complexion with almost no downtime.
The science behind it
Medical peels use a chemical solution to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, exfoliating the surface and revealing smoother skin underneath. This process stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, encouraging the growth of fresh, healthy skin. The type of chemical solution, its PH and its concentration determine the depth of the peel, ranging from superficial to deep. Common ingredients in chemical peels include glycollic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and mandelic acid.
Preparation
- Avoid Sun Exposure and Tanning: Refrain from sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before the chemical peel.
- Discontinue Potent Skincare Products: Stop using retinoids, exfoliants, and other potent skincare products three days prior to the treatment.
- Pre-Peel Skincare Regimen: Your practitioner may recommend a specific skincare regimen to prepare your skin for the peel.
- Avoid Other Treatments: Refrain from other treatments, such as waxing, at least one week before your appointment.
- Shaving for Males: For male clients, please shave the treatment area before the treatment.
Aftercare
- Hot water & exercise: Avoid hot showers for 24 hours and skip vigorous workouts, saunas, steam rooms, and pools for seven days to prevent irritation.
- Avoid direct sun exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight and always wear broad-spectrum SPF for protection.
- Gentle cleansing: Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser, followed by your moisturiser and sunscreen.
- Avoid picking: If you experience any peeling, allow your skin to shed naturally. Picking can lead to scarring or infection.
- No exfoliation: Avoid scrubs, exfoliants, and retinoids for at least seven days.
- Skip makeup: Avoid makeup until redness and peeling subside. If needed, use mineral makeup with clean applicators.
- No other skin treatments: Avoid waxing, laser treatments, or any resurfacing procedures for at least 2 weeks before and after your chemical peel.
- Skin sensitivity: Your skin may feel slightly pink, dry, or sensitive after treatment. This is completely normal and should ease within a few hours.
- Peeling (rare): Most of our chemical peels do not cause peeling, except for Deep Sea Peel. If peeling occurs, avoid picking and allow the skin to heal naturally.
- Expect skin purging: Some breakouts may occur as your skin purges impurities to the surface. This is normal and temporary. Avoid picking—your skin will heal naturally.

Benefits of Medical Peel
Chemical peels effectively smooth out rough skin and diminish uneven texture, resulting in a more refined and even complexion.
By stimulating collagen production, chemical peels help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
By removing dead skin cells and encouraging the turnover of fresh, healthy cells, chemical peels boost the skin’s natural radiance. This results in a brighter, more luminous complexion.
The exfoliating action of chemical peels helps to unclog pores and reduce acne breakouts. Additionally, they can improve the appearance of acne scars by smoothing the skin’s surface and promoting new cell growth.
Can reduce dark spots, age spots, and melasma by targeting the pigment-producing cells in the skin. This treatment helps to even out skin tone and improve overall complexion clarity.

Concerns treated with chemical peels
Dullness & Lack Of Hydration
Our chemical peels exfoliate, hydrate, and restore your skin’s natural glow while improving texture and tone.
Enlarged Pores
Clear clogged pores and reduce excess oil production, helping to minimise pore size and improve skin texture.
Acne & Breakouts
Chemical peel treats acne by unclogging pores, and reducing inflammation, while fading scars through increased cell turnover.
Sunspots & Age Spots
Chemical peel treats pigmentation by exfoliating the skin, promoting cell turnover, and lightening dark spots for a more even skin tone.
Signs of Ageing
Chemical peels help reduce signs of ageing by exfoliating the top layer of skin, promoting cell turnover, and stimulating collagen production. This smooths fine lines, improves texture, and reveals fresher, more youthful-looking skin.
Rosacea & Broken Capillaries
Chemical peels can support rosacea-prone skin by calming inflammation, strengthening the skin barrier, and minimising redness. Gentle peels like lactic acid help improve skin tone, making visible capillaries and flushing less noticeable over time.
