Frequently Asked Questions
What are cosmetic skin peels ?
Cosmetic Skin Peels are treatments used to improve the appearance of the skin on your face, neck or hands.
Each chemical peel uses a specially formulated solution with approved acids to exfoliate and peel off the top layers of your skin to stimulate skin cell renewal and reveal new, regenerated cells underneath.
After your treatment, you should see a visible improvement in problems such as fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, brown spots, red spots, sun damage, acne and dry, flaky skin.
How do I know which chemical peel is right for me?
Chemical peels work at different depths. Superficial peels will only remove the outer layer of your skin and gently exfoliate. A superficial peel is much gentler on the skin and can be used to enhance another aesthetic treatment such as mesotherapy or as standalone procedures that can boost the health and appearance of your skin.
Our Medium Depth Peel or TCA Peels has minimal down time with maximum results due to it’s innovative 2 phase formula.
Are chemical peels painful?
Superficial peels that use, for example, glycolic or alpha-hydroxy acids are much gentler to the skin yet are very effective for the majority of most Client’s needs.
When a chemical peel is applied it can cause a slight sting or small measure of discomfort but it is very manageable.
Some Clients may experience some stinging, redness, irritation (and whilst very rare) crusting. This is perfectly normal and your skin should adjust so that these issues resolve themselves.
Our BioRePeel Medium Depth TCA Peel is surprisingly manageable with clients often reporting that the tingling is very mild.

How many treatments are recommended?
Results can be obtained by a single treatment but a course of 4-6 treatments are recommended for Clients seeking ultimate results. These can be done weekly to fortnightly depending on the specific Client’s skin type and needs such as pigmentation. Your skincare professional will advise on your specific skin concern.
What can I expect after a chemical peel?
All skin peels require some follow-up care. With both our superficial peel and TCA peel, you may find that life can carry on as usual, although it can still take between one and seven days for your skin to heal and as long as the correct aftercare followed.
Our peels and treatments are carefully selected to keep any redness or skin flakiness to a minimum.
We will always recommend suitable aftercare products to manage your skin after your peel. You should expect to wear a high factor SPF sun cream for at least 48 hours post treatment as your skin will be more vulnerable to sun damage. Make-up can usually be worn the day after your treatment and we highly recommend mineral make up such as Mii Minerals.
Don’t worry if you cannot remember everything we have explained following your visit as we will give you written aftercare instructions for any treatment to look after your skin before and after.
We may recommend that you use specific skincare products before or after your chemical peel treatment to prepare your skin for the procedure and maximise the results.
