Cosmeceutical Peels
what are Cosmeceutical Peels ...
Cosmeceutical peels are professional-grade chemical exfoliation treatments designed to improve skin quality, clarity, and tone. They use carefully formulated active ingredients—such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other medical-strength compounds—to exfoliate the skin in a controlled way.
Unlike over-the-counter peels, cosmeceutical peels are administered by trained practitioners and tailored to your skin type, concerns, and tolerance level.
how do they work ...
Cosmeceutical peels work by gently breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. This controlled exfoliation stimulates natural skin renewal and encourages the production of healthier, more even skin cells. The treatment is customised to your skin, ensuring effective results while maintaining skin integrity.
Depending on the formulation and strength, the peel can work at different depths of the skin to:
- Remove dull, damaged surface cells
- Unclog pores and regulate oil production
- Stimulate collagen and cellular turnover
- Allow skincare products to penetrate more effectively

benefits ...
Cosmeceutical peels are suitable for many skin types and can be performed as a one-off treatment or as part of a tailored skin treatment plan for long-term results. They offer a wide range of skin benefits, including:
- Improved skin texture and smoothness
- Brighter, more even skin tone
- Reduction in pigmentation and sun damage
- Clearer pores and fewer breakouts
- Softening of fine lines and early signs of ageing
- Enhanced overall skin clarity and radiance
is there any downtime ...
Cosmeceutical peels typically involve minimal to no downtime, making them a popular option for those wanting visible skin improvement without significant disruption to daily activities. Your practitioner will tailor the peel strength to your skin and provide personalised aftercare guidance to support optimal healing and results.
After treatment, you may experience:
- Mild redness or warmth
- Light dryness or flaking over the following days
- Temporary skin sensitivity
These effects are generally short-lived and resolve on their own within a few days, depending on the strength of the peel and individual skin response.
Most clients can return to normal activities immediately, though it’s recommended to:
- Avoid direct sun exposure
- Wear broad-spectrum SPF
- Pause active skincare (such as retinoids) for a few days
