Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that involve applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers. This process promotes skin renewal, improving texture, tone, and appearance.

Commonly used to treat acne, scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation, chemical peels are a popular non-invasive option for achieving healthier, more youthful skin.

We offer less invasive peels that are gentler on the skin, with each session providing a gradual improvement.

Why Choose a Chemical Peel?

Choosing a chemical peel can be an effective way to enhance your skin’s overall appearance and address specific concerns such as acne scars, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, or dullness. Unlike more invasive procedures, chemical peels are relatively quick and can be tailored to suit different skin types and conditions. They help remove dead skin cells, promote collagen production, and reveal a fresher, more radiant complexion. Additionally, chemical peels can boost your confidence by providing noticeable improvements with minimal downtime, making them a popular choice for those seeking a non-surgical solution to achieve smoother, clearer skin.

Opting for a package of chemical peels is often the best choice because it allows for a series of treatments that can deliver more noticeable and sustained results. Multiple sessions help to progressively improve skin texture, tone, and clarity, addressing issues like acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines more effectively than a single peel. Additionally, a package often offers better value and ensures consistent care, as the skin typically responds best when treated regularly over time. This approach maximises the benefits of chemical peels, leading to smoother, healthier-looking skin with longer-lasting effects.

FAQ’s

What are chemical peels?

This process helps remove dead and damaged skin cells, promoting new, healthier skin growth. Used to improve skin texture, tone, and clarity, chemical peels can address concerns like acne, scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation.

Are chemical peels safe?

When performed by a trained and experienced professional like Nurse Kelsey, chemical peels are generally safe and effective.

They are widely used in dermatology and cosmetic clinics to improve skin appearance. However, like any procedure, they carry some risks such as redness, irritation, or temporary changes in skin color. It’s important to choose the right type of peel for your skin type and condition and to follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions. Consulting with Nurse Kelsey beforehand will ensure the procedure is suitable for you and helps minimise potential side effects.

Are chemical peels bad for the skin?

Chemical peels are generally safe when performed by a trained professional, such as Nurse Kelsey, and suited to your skin type. However, if not done properly or if an inappropriate peel is chosen, they can cause side effects like redness, irritation, or temporary skin discoloration. In rare cases, they may lead to scarring or prolonged sensitivity.

To minimise risks, it’s important to consult with Nurse Kelsey first, follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions, and select the right peel for your skin. When done correctly, chemical peels can be a safe and effective way to enhance your skin’s appearance.

How long do chemical peels last?

The longevity of chemical peel results varies depending on the type of peel, skin type, and individual skincare habits. Generally, the effects can last from a few weeks to several months. Light peels may require maintenance treatments every few months, while deeper peels can provide longer-lasting improvements, often lasting a year or more.

To maintain results, it’s important to follow proper skincare routines and consult with Nurse Kelsey for personalised recommendations.

Who is not suitable for a chemical peel?

Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active infections, or skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea may not be suitable candidates for a chemical peel. People with a history of cold sores or certain skin sensitivities should also consult with Nurse Kelsey before proceeding.

Additionally, those with darker skin tones may need to avoid deeper peels or seek expert advice, as they have a higher risk of pigmentation changes. It’s essential to have a thorough consultation to determine if a chemical peel is appropriate for your skin and health status.

How often should you do a chemical peel?

The frequency of chemical peel treatments depends on the type and depth of the peel, as well as your skin condition and goals. Light or superficial peels can typically be done every 4 to 6 weeks to maintain results, while medium-depth peels might be scheduled every few months.

Deeper peels are usually performed less frequently, often once a year or as recommended by Nurse Kelsey. It’s important to follow personalised advice and avoid over-treatment, as your skin needs time to recover between sessions.

Consulting with Nurse Kelsey will help determine the best interval for your specific skin needs.

Can you see a difference after just one chemical peel?

Yes, many people notice a visible improvement after just one chemical peel, especially with lighter or superficial peels. You may see smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin, along with a reduction in minor blemishes or dullness. However, for more significant or lasting results, a series of treatments is often recommended.

Consulting with Nurse Kelsey can help set realistic expectations based on your skin type and concerns.
