Medical Grade Skin Peels
In order to address a variety of skin issues, skin peels target issues at the cellular level rather than just removing the epidermis. They help a wide range of restorative advantages, from boosting the production of collagen to providing a mixture of vitamins and active ingredients.
How do skin peels and chemical peels work?
Skin peels, which are made of a natural mixture of acids and enzymes, exfoliate your skin and promote cell turnover, which means that the dead cells in the outermost layer are removed and new cells are encouraged to grow, exposing the smoother, younger skin underneath. In order to lessen the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines, peels also increase the production of collagen and elastin.
To exfoliate and remodel the skin, a chemical solution is applied to the face or specific body parts, and it is left on for a few minutes to penetrate the deeper layers and epidermis. The powerful blend of ingredients helps to address a variety of skin issues, such as minimising the visibility of open pores, age spots, and blemishes, treating acne, repairing pigmentation, sun damage, and fine line smoothing. It can have life-altering effects.
At Vogue Skin & Aesthetics we have medical grade chemical facial peels including Dermaceutic and PCA.

What are types of skin peel?
Superficial peels
The epidermis, the skin’s outermost layer, is affected by superficial skin peels. For a gentler treatment that leaves your skin smoother and more radiant, these peels are usually applied for a few minutes and exfoliate the epidermis. These skin peels require less recovery time, and since the results are not as noticeable after a single treatment, we advise continuing the treatment to maintain the desired effects.
Medium peels
Medium peels deeply exfoliate the skin, promoting the growth of new cells and boosting the production of collagen for smoother, more youthful-looking skin. The top and slightly deeper layers of the skin are treated with a solution. After treatment, you might have some redness and tingling for a few days.
Deep Peels
Deep peels provide more dramatic, long-lasting results, but they frequently take longer for the skin to heal. They are advised for more serious skin issues like deep facial wrinkles, severe sun damage, or acne scars. It is normal to experience tingling, peeling, redness, and swelling as side effects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Skin peels can help with a variety of issues, such as sun damage, age spots, hyperpigmentation, acne, acne scarring, and signs of ageing or uneven skin tone and texture. Depending on the type of skin peel, recovery time may be short or slightly longer. A deeper peel may result in a slightly longer healing period because there is usually more “peeling,” but the effects are more noticeable.
Numerous people can benefit from skin peels, which can address a wide range of skin issues, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne, scarring from acne, age spots, dark spots, enlarged pores, and sun-damaged skin. Chemical peels are best if you want to literally start over with your skin. However, whether you are a good candidate for a skin peel depends on a number of factors, including the type of skin you have and the severity of the issue.
Chemical skin peels can be applied to the face, hands, neck and décolletage, depending on your concern and the type of peel.
When performed by a trained professional, skin peels are generally safe, but risks like redness, irritation, and changes in skin color can occur, especially with deeper peels.
You may feel a slight tingling sensation during your treatment as the chemical peel works because of the active ingredients on your skin, but this is perfectly normal. In order to minimise any tingling sensations, we never leave skin peels on the skin for longer than is recommended. Additionally, we neutralise the skin after the peel is removed. We’ll always suggest the best at-home skincare products after treatment to ensure you get the best results and to take care of your skin after the procedure.
To address the specific skin issue, a non-toxic chemical solution is applied to the skin’s surface, which is subsequently absorbed, releasing the active acids. While the natural ingredients take effect, you might experience a mild tingling sensation. Additionally, some peels may cause mild skin peeling or swelling in the affected area for a few days following the procedure.
Your skin will appear noticeably younger, feel softer, and have better texture and tone once your skin peel program is started. Redness or peeling may occur, depending on the chemical peel and the condition of your skin; as it heals, your skin will get better.
All skin types can generally benefit from chemical peels, though this will depend on the type of skin peel you want. Given the higher risk of hyperpigmentation associated with deeper chemical peels for skin types IV, V, and VI, medium and deep chemical peels are frequently inappropriate for clients with Fitzpatrick type VI skin. However, some medium-depth and superficial peels are appropriate for darker skin types.
