How to book a Skin Peel
A consultation and patch test is required 2 weeks prior to your first skin peel so that we can ensure your medical suitability for the treatment. At the consultation your skin will be analysed, the most appropriate peel chosen and advice will be given on how to prepare your skin for the peel.
Up to 60 minutes
Treatment time
Most skin types can expect mild flaking and/or peeling as the treatment works to reveal your new, fresh skin cells underneath. I recommend a bespoke at home regime to help visibly restore and recover the skin, ensuring you achieve the very best results and experience, with minimal downtime.
£80.00 for single treatment
Investment
Available as a stand-alone treatment or incorporated into an advanced facial.

A consultation and a patch test are required 2 weeks prior to your skin peel.
At the consultation your skin will be analysed and photos taken, medical history taken, and the appropriate peel discussed with you. A patch test will also be performed by applying a small amount of peel to your inner arm.
Your skin needs to be prepped for 2 weeks prior to your peel with Vitamin C and Retinol.
This will be provided at your skin consultation appointment. For Fitzpatrick skin type 4 (olive to moderate brown natural skin tone e.g. Asian) to 6 (black natural skin tone e.g. Nigerian) skin prep to be a minimum of 4 weeks and will include a pigment suppressant (White Balance Brightening Serum).

What is a chemical peel?
It is possible to just have a single peel, but it is recommended a course of 6 to really see the long-term skin benefits. It's a little like going to the gym; you can go occasionally but the real results will come when you commit to an ongoing programme.

What is a chemical peel?
The application of acids to the skin may cause redness, skin flaking and mild peeling; but every skin is different. We recommend not to wear makeup for the first 12 hours post-peel to ensure the skin remains bacteria-free.
