For Specific Concerns
Facial peels for congestion, pigmentation, and scarring
If your skin feels congested, looks uneven, or carries marks from past breakouts, a facial peel may help by gently resurfacing the skin and supporting a clearer, more even-looking complexion. A peel is not a cure for acne or pigmentation, and results vary from person to person.
Your cosmetic nurse will discuss whether a peel suits your skin during consultation, and may suggest supporting it with LED Light Therapy to calm the skin or, for some concerns, an alternative such as microneedling for acne scarring. You can also read about reducing acne scarring safely.

People Also Ask
Facial peel questions, answered
What is a facial peel?
A facial peel, also called a chemical peel, is a professional resurfacing treatment that uses an exfoliating solution to lift away dull or damaged surface cells and encourage natural skin renewal. The result is smoother, brighter, clearer-looking skin. Peels range from light to stronger formulas, and the right one is matched to your skin at consultation.
How much does a facial peel cost?
What facial peels cost depends on the peel recommended for your skin and whether you add a supporting step such as LED. We explain pricing clearly and simply during your consultation, so you can decide with confidence and without pressure.
How long does a facial peel take?
A facial peel treatment usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the peel and any supporting steps. Your cosmetic nurse confirms timing during your skin assessment.
Does a facial peel hurt?
Most people feel a mild tingling or warmth while the peel is on the skin, which settles within a few minutes. Lighter peels are very comfortable. Your nurse adjusts the approach to keep the experience as comfortable as possible.
Is there downtime after a facial peel?
Downtime depends on the peel strength. Light peels often have little to no downtime, while stronger peels can cause more visible redness and flaking for a few days as the skin renews. Recovery varies between individuals, and your nurse will tell you what to expect.
How long does skin peel or flake after a treatment?
After a stronger peel, light flaking can continue for several days as the surface renews. It is important not to pick or peel the skin. With a light peel you may notice only mild dryness. You can read more about redness, stinging, and flaking after a peel.
How often should you get a facial peel?
Many light peels can be repeated every few weeks as part of a course, while stronger peels are spaced further apart. The right rhythm depends on your skin and goals, and your nurse will suggest a schedule during consultation.
How many peels do I need?
This depends on your skin and what you would like to improve. Some concerns respond best to a short course of treatments rather than a single peel. Your nurse will give you realistic, honest guidance at your consultation.
Is a facial peel suitable for my skin?
Many skin types can have a facial peel, but suitability is always assessed first. The peel solution and strength are customised to your skin, sensitivity, and goals, which is why every treatment begins with a consultation.
What should I avoid before a facial peel?
In the days before your appointment it is sensible to avoid strong exfoliation, excessive sun exposure, and harsh active skincare such as retinoids. Your nurse will give you clear, personalised pre-treatment guidance when you book.
Can I wear makeup after a facial peel?
After a light peel you can usually apply makeup later the same day. After a stronger peel it is best to let the skin settle first. Your nurse will advise based on the peel you have.
Is a facial peel safe during pregnancy or for sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin can often be treated with a gentler peel, adjusted to keep things comfortable. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, let your nurse know, as some peels are best delayed. This is exactly why suitability is assessed before any treatment.
Facial peel vs microdermabrasion or microneedling, which should I choose?
A facial peel resurfaces the skin with an exfoliating solution, microdermabrasion exfoliates physically, and microneedling works differently again and can suit acne scarring. Each suits different goals. Your nurse will help you choose what fits your skin.
