How Do Skin Peel And Chemical Peels Work?

Numerous studies in the UK have explored the benefits of skin peels, highlighting their effectiveness in addressing various skin concerns. According to research findings, skin peels, through their natural blend of acids and enzymes, demonstrate significant exfoliating properties, effectively removing dead cells from the skin’s surface and stimulating cell turnover. This process has been associated with revealing newer, smoother skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, studies have shown that the application of chemical solutions during skin peel procedures can treat diverse skin issues such as open pores, redness, rosacea, age spots, blemishes, acne, sun damage, and pigmentation. These findings underscore the transformative impact of skin peels on overall skin health and aesthetics.

During the peel, your skin will be cleansed and toned, and the chemical peel will be applied to your skin using a gentle brush; the peel will be left on the skin for between three and five minutes. The procedure is not painful. The total consultation and procedure time is 30 minutes.

During the early healing period after a chemical peel (before the skin has finished peeling), you will need to avoid sun exposure. After the skin stops peeling, you will need to wear sunscreen every day. Limit your time in the sun as much as possible. New skin is more likely to be damaged and change colour from sunlight.
