Gentle surface exfoliation
Light peels are generally selected when the goal is to refresh the skin, improve surface texture or support a regular skin maintenance plan.
A personalised approach to improving skin texture, tone and the appearance of surface irregularities.
Chemical peels use carefully selected solutions to create controlled exfoliation of the skin. The peel chosen depends on your skin type, your concerns and the level of treatment that is appropriate for you.
A chemical peel creates controlled exfoliation of the skin using a carefully selected solution.
The type of peel, its ingredients, concentration and the way it is applied all influence how the skin responds. This means that the term chemical peel can describe very different treatments.
Some peels work predominantly at the surface of the skin and are chosen when we want gentle exfoliation and minimal recovery. Other peels produce a greater degree of controlled exfoliation and may be selected when we are addressing more established changes in texture or pigmentation.
This is why we assess your skin before choosing a peel. Your skin type, current skin condition, treatment history, pigmentation risk and the amount of downtime you are comfortable with all influence the treatment plan.
A deeper or stronger peel is not automatically a better peel. The aim is to use an appropriate level of treatment for the concern being addressed while respecting the individual skin.
Light peels are generally selected when the goal is to refresh the skin, improve surface texture or support a regular skin maintenance plan.
Medium-depth treatments may be considered when greater correction of texture, pigmentation or visible skin changes is required.
Deeper treatments require more careful patient selection, preparation and aftercare, with greater potential for visible peeling and downtime.
The most appropriate peel is the one that matches your skin, your concerns and the amount of recovery you are comfortable with — not simply the deepest treatment available.
You do not need to know which chemical peel to book.
Different peeling agents behave differently in the skin. We first look at what you are trying to improve, then consider your skin type, sensitivity, pigmentation risk, previous treatments and how much downtime is appropriate.
Gentle peeling may be considered when skin feels rough, looks dull or would benefit from controlled surface exfoliation and a refreshed appearance.
Selected peels may form part of a plan for uneven pigmentation, sun-related changes or visible discolouration when appropriate for the individual skin.
Peels may be selected to support treatment of congestion, oiliness and blemish-prone skin as part of a broader skin-management plan.
Controlled exfoliation may be incorporated into a rejuvenation plan when concerns include fine surface lines, uneven texture or visible changes in skin quality.
Pigmentation, breakouts, texture and ageing can behave differently from one person to another. Chemical peeling may be useful, but it is not automatically the best treatment for every skin concern.
Surface exfoliation, an enzyme mask and hydration in one gentle skin treatment.
Our Glow Facial combines microdermabrasion with a fruit enzyme mask to gently remove surface dead skin cells and refresh the appearance of the skin.
Hyaluronic acid serum and moisturiser are then applied to support hydration and leave the skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

Our peel menu ranges from gentle superficial treatments to more corrective resurfacing options.
You do not need to choose your peel before your appointment. We assess your skin and recommend an option according to your concerns, skin type, treatment history and preferred downtime.
Gentle exfoliation with generally less visible downtime.
A gentle lactic acid-based peel often selected for skin that appears dull, dry or dehydrated, with a focus on surface exfoliation and skin freshness.
A professional peel combining vitamin A derivatives and alpha hydroxy acids, used when the treatment plan is focused on surface renewal, texture and skin clarity.
A superficial combination peel containing glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids, selected for concerns such as uneven texture, dullness and mild congestion.
More active treatment when greater correction is appropriate.
Combines lactic acid, niacinamide and Lanablue in a treatment designed for concerns including dehydration, uneven pigmentation and visible fine lines.
A combination of mandelic, salicylic and citric acids that may be considered when the treatment plan focuses on pigmentation, congestion and uneven skin texture.
A multi-step corrective peel containing a combination of exfoliating and skin-renewal ingredients, selected for more established concerns involving texture, tone and sun-related skin changes.
A professional resurfacing treatment that may be considered for visible ageing, pigmentation, uneven texture or congestion following assessment.
Greater treatment intensity with more preparation and recovery.
TCA is used for controlled chemical resurfacing and may be considered for more established concerns such as pigmentation, sun-related skin changes, uneven texture and visible signs of skin ageing.
Because this is a more intensive peel, suitability, skin preparation, expected recovery and aftercare are discussed carefully before treatment.
Preparation depends on the peel selected and your individual skin.
We consider skin type, sensitivity, pigmentation and your concerns.
Tell us about retinoids, exfoliating acids and other active products.
Recent procedures, irritation or sun exposure may affect timing.
More corrective peels may require specific skin preparation beforehand.
Recovery depends on the type and depth of peel selected for your skin.
Some superficial peels may produce very little visible peeling, while more intensive treatments can lead to dryness, flaking or more noticeable shedding as the skin responds.
We will explain what to expect from your individual treatment and give you appropriate aftercare instructions before you leave.
Depending on the peel, the skin may temporarily feel warm, tight, dry or appear slightly pink following treatment.
Some peels cause little visible change, while others may produce dryness or peeling. The amount varies according to the treatment and your individual skin response.
If peeling occurs, allow the skin to shed naturally. Picking or aggressively exfoliating can irritate the skin and interfere with the recovery process.
Freshly treated skin can be more vulnerable to environmental exposure. Follow the sun-protection and skin-care advice provided after your treatment.
A chemical peel does not need to produce dramatic shedding to be worthwhile. The expected skin response depends on the peel selected and the treatment objective.
