How it works

Why add a peel?

A peel applies an exfoliating solution to the skin. It loosens and lifts dull, dead surface cells, so your skin looks brighter and feels smoother.

Our range includes a gentle Enzyme Glow Peel, a Skin Perfecting Mandelic Peel and the ÜberPEEL PRO and MD resurfacing peels. Your therapist checks your skin first, then chooses the peel and strength that suit it. Results vary from person to person.

It can help with

  • Dull, tired-looking skin
  • Uneven-looking tone and pigmentation
  • Congestion, breakouts and the look of enlarged pores
  • Rough or uneven texture
  • Fine lines and early signs of ageing

We check your skin and health history before we start, and may adjust or postpone your treatment if needed. Not sure where to start? Begin with a Skin Scan + Consultation.

Our peel range

Three peels, chosen for your skin.

From a gentle enzyme peel to resurfacing. Your therapist chooses the peel and strength after checking your skin on the day.

What to expect

Your peel, step by step.

Every peel starts with your skin. Here’s how it fits into your appointment.

  1. 01
    ChooseBook the treatment you’d like with a peel added, or ask about a peel at your consultation.
  2. 02
    AssessYour therapist checks your skin and asks about your skincare, medications and medical history.
  3. 03
    PeelYour therapist chooses the peel and strength, then applies it as part of your treatment. You may feel warmth or tingling.
  4. 04
    RecoveryRecovery depends on the peel. Lighter peels usually have little or no downtime. Stronger peels can cause redness and flaking for a few days.

Preparation and aftercare

Look after your skin.

Before your appointment

  • Preparation depends on the peel selected, its strength, the treatment it accompanies and your skin. Any preparation you need to do beforehand will be communicated to you before your treatment.
  • Tell us about any medications, supplements, medical conditions and the skincare you use before your treatment.
  • Your therapist will let you know if you need to pause exfoliants, retinol, vitamin A, AHA/BHA or other active ingredients beforehand. If you use a prescription skin treatment, check with your prescriber before changing it.
  • Some peels and combinations need specific preparation, such as 4–6 weeks of skin prep for ÜberPEEL. Follow the instructions you’re given for your treatment.
  • Avoid the sun as much as you can. If you’re outside, wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and a hat.
  • Keep your skin well hydrated, and drink plenty of water.

After your appointment

  • Your instructions: aftercare depends on the peel selected, its strength, the treatment it accompanies and how your skin responds. Your therapist will discuss your individual instructions during your appointment.
  • Make-up and products: how long to wait before applying make-up depends on your peel and treatment. Avoid perfumed or irritating products on the area.
  • Exercise and heat: your therapist will advise if you should avoid heavy exercise, swimming, saunas or sweating after your peel.
  • Sun: avoid direct sun, sunbeds and solariums while your skin recovers, and wear a broad-spectrum SPF every day.
  • Active skincare: use hydrating, reparative products. Your therapist will tell you when to restart exfoliants and active ingredients such as retinol, vitamin A or AHA/BHA.
  • Other treatments: depending on your peel, you may need to avoid other facials or waxing on the area. Your therapist will advise.
  • Named treatments: if your peel is part of a named treatment, follow the care instructions for that full treatment.
  • Don’t pick or peel flaking skin; let it shed naturally. Contact us if you have any concerns after your treatment.

Your therapist will confirm the preparation and aftercare for your peel and treatment.

FAQs

Good questions.

Can I book a peel on its own?

No. Peels are added to a facial or treatment, such as an AlphaHYDRA Facial, Signature Customised Facial, Back Facial or HydraPEN Pro. If you’re not sure which to choose, start with a Skin Scan + Consultation.

Which peel will I have?

Your therapist chooses between our Enzyme Glow, Skin Perfecting Mandelic and ÜberPEEL peels after checking your skin on the day. It depends on your skin type, your concerns and how your skin has responded to peels before.

Is there downtime?

It depends on the peel. After a lighter peel, skin may look pink for a few hours. Stronger peels can cause flaking and peeling for a few days.

Does it hurt?

Most peels feel warm or tingly for a short time. Stronger peels can sting, and we use cooling techniques to keep you comfortable.

Will I break out afterwards?

Some flaking or a few breakouts can happen as your skin renews. Don’t pick or squeeze, and contact us if you’re worried about how your skin is healing.
