What is a skin resurfacing chemical peel?

Chemical peels are clinical treatments which harness the skin boosting effects of acids and/or enzymes. Through this, we can safely resurface skin by exfoliating the top layers. This reveals the new layers of skin underneath to give smoother, brighter and fresher looking skin.

Our skin refresher peels are bespoke superficial resurfacing peels. These boost the skin by getting rid of dead skin cells to visibly reduce the appearance of open pores and blemishes. They instantly leave you with more smooth, bright and dewy looking skin. There is also no down time so you can immediately enjoy your new skin.

Our bespoke medical peels act at a deeper level of the skin and are excellent to target wrinkles, acne, scars, pigmentation, sun-damage and rosacea. You will see the full effect of the peel after a few days. After which, you can enjoy smooth, bright and fresher looking skin.

How does a chemical peel work?

Chemical peels react with the top layer of the skin causing it to peel off to reveal the newer skin underneath. As the old dead skin is removed, new cells and collagen take their place. Thus giving firmer, brighter and fresher looking skin. We use chemical peels to reduce or eliminate wrinkles, acne, the appearance of large pores and scars. They also boost the production of collagen for brighter, firmer and smoother skin.

Which skin problems can be treated with a medical chemical peel?

Our medical peels can be specifically designed to treat a whole range of skin problems. The most common skin complaints that we treat are:

• Lines and wrinkles
• Dull and tired looking lack-lustre skin
• Rough or uneven textured skin
• Acne, breakouts and inflammation
• Hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone and blemishes
• Sun damage
• Rosacea
• Acne scars

What results can be achieved with a chemical peel?

This depends on the type of peel that you have but in general chemical peels can resurface the skin to give you:

• Brighter and dewy looking skin
• Rejuvenation of dull skin
• Exfoliation of dead skin cells
• More even tone
• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Smoother and softer skin texture

• Control and reduce inflammation and break outs caused by acne
• Hydrated and nourished skin
• Plumper, firmer and more youthful looking skin

Which skin resurfacing chemical peel is the right treatment for me?

During a detailed skin consultation with our doctor, we design a bespoke treatment plan for you. At City Skin Clinic we offer two categories of skin resurfacing chemical peel: 

• The skin refresher chemical peel is a superficial peel that is great for giving tired dull looking skin a little pick me up. This chemical peel buffs away dead skin cells to unveil healthy new skin underneath. It’s brilliant if you want to rescue tired lack lustre appearance for smoother, brighter and dewy looking skin.
• We also offer several options of medical peels which we personalise and tailor to your skin. These peels work at a deeper level and are excellent to smooth lines and wrinkles. They can also target acne and break outs, scars, dark spots, sun damage, rosacea and rough texture.

Are there any at-home alternatives to chemical peels?

Prescription skincare such as Tretinoin either alone or in combination with Obagi Nu Derm skin transformation system or Obagi-C system are excellent alternatives to chemical peels. They can help treat acne, skin ageing, melasma and hyperpigmentation. We offer these through our online skin clinic where you can discuss your skin concerns with one of our doctors. Afterwards, they will advise which of these solutions will help your skin and products are delivered to your home. Your doctor will then continue to guide, advice and monitor you through the virtual clinic.

UPDATE: We’re Moving Our Skin Services Online!

Due to growing demand, we are moving our aesthetic skin clinic to an online prescription skincare platform. Unfortunately, this means that we’re no longer able to see new patients for in-office treatments like chemical peels at our clinic in London. However, we are treating both new and current clients at our online skin clinic. Our aesthetic doctors will provide the same experience and care through our online clinic. We offer personalised prescription-strength skincare treatments for acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma and skin ageing. You can expect the personalised treatment plans and after care that we have become known for over the years. Importantly, from start to finish your journey towards great skin is all from the comfort of your home.
