If you're looking for a quick and effective way to refresh and rejuvenate your skin, our cosmetic clinic based in Harborne Birmingham offers a range of chemical peel treatments to help you achieve that glow. 

Chemical peels are a great treatment for brides-to-be to consider before your wedding day to really help achieve that wow factor on your big day.

On a personal note, I found it the best thing for my skin after completing my breast feeding journey as my skin had felt somewhat neglected whilst pregnant and breastfeeding due to lack of my usual actives like retinoids. I felt that a course of 2-3 chemical peel treatments really accelerated my skin’s recovery. 

So let me tell you more about this treatment...

What is a chemical peel treatment?

A chemical peel treatment involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin. This solution exfoliates the top layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin underneath. 

What are the benefits of a chemical peel?

Chemical peels can help to improve the appearance of a variety of skin concerns, including uneven skin tone and texture. It is helpful in reducing the appearance of acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles.

What skin issues will a chemical peel target?

Chemical peels can help to improve the appearance of a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Acne: Chemical peels can help to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and improve the appearance of acne related scarring.

  
• Hyperpigmentation: Chemical peels can help to reduce the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, and other types of hyperpigmentation.

  
• Fine lines and wrinkles: Chemical peels can help to stimulate collagen production, which can improve the overall firmness and elasticity of the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  
• Uneven skin texture: Chemical peels can help to improve the texture and tone of the skin, reducing the appearance of rough or bumpy skin.

  

Is it suitable for darker skin tones?

Our Obagi blue peel radiance is a superficial peel which is suitable for all skin types as it contains high concentration of salicylic acid rather than glycolic acid which has a lower risk of rebound hyperpigmentation. This makes it safer to use on darker skin tones. We also offer a free skincare consultation to anyone who books in for a chemical peel. This helps to fine tune your skincare regime so you can get the best results from the peel.

What to expect during a chemical peel treatment?

During a chemical peel treatment at our clinic in Birmingham, a solution is applied to the skin and left on for a specified amount of time. The length of time the solution is left on the skin depends on the type of peel being used and the individual's skin type and concerns. Our chemical peel treatments are tailored to each individual's needs and goals.

After the solution is removed, the skin may be slightly red or swollen, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a few days. It's important to follow our post treatment instructions for aftercare to ensure optimal results and minimise any potential side effects.

Are chemical peels safe?

Chemical peels are generally safe and effective. Choose a trained and experienced practitioner who understands the underlying skin disease, the depth of the peel as well as your skin type to tailor the peel to your skin.
