How Chemical Peels Work
Step 1 – Consultation
We assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to determine the most suitable peel strength and formulation for your skin.
Step 2 – Preparation
Your skin is cleansed, any makeup or oils removed, and protective measures applied to sensitive areas.
Step 3 – Peel Application
The chosen medical-grade solution is carefully applied under nurse supervision. This exfoliates, promoting renewal and revealing brighter, smoother skin.
Step 4 – Neutralisation & Aftercare
The peel is neutralised and finishing products applied (where required). We give personalised aftercare instructions to maintain and enhance results.

For the Circadia Dermafrost and Mandeliclear peels we recommend a phased approach by starting off with one of the gentler peels to prepare your skin and allow for a better result.
For the Dermaceutic Comso and Cosmo-Forte Peels, due to their components and intensity, the skin must be properly prepped using specific Dermaceutic products. This preparation helps minimise potential side effects and ensures the peel delivers even, effective results.
During your initial consultation, if we determine that one of these peels is the right option for you, a tailored skincare preparation regimen will be emailed to you. Once you’ve completed the recommended prep, you’ll be ready to proceed with the treatment.
