Chemical Peel

A 40% Glycolic Acid Peel is a professional chemical exfoliation treatment that works beneath the surface of the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal. Glycolic acid, derived from sugar cane, is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) known for its ability to deeply penetrate the skin and deliver powerful rejuvenating results.

What Does It Do?

This treatment helps to resurface and refine the skin, making it ideal for addressing a variety of common skin concerns without heavy skin shedding. A 40% glycolic peel can:

• Brighten dull, tired-looking skin
• Improve uneven skin tone and texture
• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Help minimise congestion and breakouts
• Fade pigmentation and sun damage
• Promote a clearer, smoother complexion

How Does It Work?

The glycolic acid solution is carefully applied to the skin, where it works by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells from the corneum to the basale in the epidermis, depending on the layers and duration the solution is applied for. This allows the outer layer of dull, damaged skin to gently shed, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath.

At a 40% strength, this peel offers effective exfoliation while remaining controlled and safe when performed by a trained professional. The treatment also stimulates collagen production, supporting firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.

How Often Should You Have This Treatment?

For optimal results, a course of 1 treatment a week for 3-6 weeks is often recommended, followed by maintenance sessions every 4–6 weeks. Regular treatments help to maintain skin clarity, smoothness, and overall radiance while continuing to improve long-term skin health.
