Peeling explained

A peel is a chemical solution applied by the doctor to the surface of the skin in a controlled way. It helps the outer layer of dead skin to come away so newer skin can show, which may gradually improve acne marks, uneven tone and rough texture. The type and strength of the peel are chosen by the doctor to suit your skin. A course of several sessions is usually needed.

Who it suits

01

Marks left after acne and uneven skin tone

Rough skin texture or enlarged-looking pores

Dull skin that needs brightening

Please tell the doctor before treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a skin infection, wounds or an active cold sore, or have been sunburnt recently. Please also discuss this first if you have taken isotretinoin in recent months, use retinoids, are allergic to skincare ingredients, or tend to form thick scars.

What to expect

1

Consultation

The doctor checks your skin type, the medicines and skin products you use and any recent sun exposure, then chooses the type of peel.

2

Preparation

Your skin is cleansed and sensitive areas (around the eyes and lips) are protected.

3

Treatment

The peel solution is applied for a set time, then removed and a soothing product is applied. You may feel mild stinging or warmth.

4

Aftercare

You receive advice on skin care, sun protection and when to come back for the next session.

Results and recovery

Results

After the outer skin has come away, usually within a few days to a week, many people see smoother-looking skin. To improve acne marks and uneven tone, a course of several sessions is normally needed. The number of sessions and the gap between them is decided with the doctor based on your skin. Results cannot be guaranteed.

Recovery and side effects

After a light peel most people can return to normal activities, but redness, dryness and flaking for a few days (often 3 to 7 days) are common. Do not pick or pull at flaking skin. Stay out of the sun and use sunscreen every day. Recovery time varies with the strength of the peel.

Possible side effects

In most people, side effects are temporary.

  • Stinging, warmth, redness and tightness
  • Dryness and flaking
  • Temporary darkening of the skin (especially with sun exposure) or lightening
  • Rarely, infection, a cold sore flare-up, blistering or scarring may occur. Contact us straight away if you have severe pain, pus or fever. If you have difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or a severe widespread rash, go to a hospital straight away.

Results vary from person to person.
