Skin Peels
Many skin conditions are associated with a build up of dead skin cells. Most skin types can benefit from a chemical skin peel. Skin peels are a way of treating many skin concerns such as:
- acne
- ageing due to sun damage
- pigmentation (age spots)
- lines and wrinkles
- acne scars
- large pores

What are Chemical Skin Peels?
Chemical skin peels are an application of chemical solution to the skin to slough off the surface and middle layers of skin removing dead skin and debris. This process reveals fresher, smoother and brighter skin. They range in strength from light, medium to deep depending on the chemical used and the pH. A light peel exfoliates the outer layer of skin cells improving fine lines, wrinkles, brightening and making the skin more radiant with no down time.
What chemicals are used in skin peels?
Chemicals such as alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) are used depending on the type of peel used. Our Fillmed Skin perfusion light peel is with AHA Mandelic acid (derived from bitter almonds) and Gluconolactone (PHA). Our Genosys Peel is with AHAs lactic acid and glycolic acid.
What can I expect during the treatment?
A chemical solution of AHA will be applied to the skin for a set amount of time. This may feel tingly depending on your skin sensitivity. This is removed and then followed by a soothing mask.
What can I expect after the chemical skin peel?
Chemical skin peels can result in a more youthful appearance to the skin, reducing wrinkles, uneven pigmentation, sun-damage, and brightening the skin. By means of exfoliation it is also beneficial in treating breakouts and more severe acne conditions. Following the treatment your skin may be less congested and clearer (sometimes it can draw out anything that is below the surface (purging) but this should clear quickly). You will need to wear a SPF30 minimum for 7 days, avoiding the sun for 48 hours after treatment and may need to use additional moisturiser. This will be explained to you during your consultation and after care will be explained prior to your treatment.
Will my skin peel off?
The Genosys Peel and the Fillmed Skin Perfusion Light peel are superficial peels. Superficial/mild peels require virtually no recovery time. You should be able to return to daily activities immediately after treatment. Sensitive skin types might notice mild flaking.
