Chemical peels in Aveley, South Ockendon

A chemical peel uses carefully chosen acids or enzymes to remove dead skin cells and encourage healthy cell turnover. Done well, peels are one of the most effective ways to improve pigmentation, uneven tone, acne marks, texture and dullness.

Not every peel suits every skin. At SkinXcel the strength and type of peel is chosen for your skin, your concerns and your lifestyle, and many of our peels involve little or no visible peeling.

Who it helps

  • Pigmentation, sun damage and uneven skin tone
  • Marks left behind after acne
  • Rough texture, enlarged-looking pores and dullness
  • Fine lines and early signs of ageing
  • Anyone wanting a brighter, smoother complexion with minimal downtime

What to expect

  1. Consultation first. We check your skin history, medication and current products so the peel is safe and suitable for you.
  2. Skin preparation. For stronger peels you may be asked to follow a short home care routine beforehand.
  3. Aftercare. You will leave with clear aftercare instructions, including daily SPF, which is essential after any peel.

Frequently asked questions

Will my skin visibly peel?

Not always. The Luminous Refining Peel is designed for no planned downtime, although light dryness or flaking can occur. With the Signature Radiance Peel, peeling or flaking may occur for 3 to 5 days, and with the Green Herbal Resurfacing Peel for 1 to 5 days, depending on your skin. I will tell you exactly what to expect before your treatment.

How many peels will I need?

A single peel gives a fresh, brighter look. For pigmentation, acne marks and texture, a course of peels spaced a few weeks apart usually gives the best results. Your plan is agreed at consultation.

Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?

Peels can be suitable for all skin types when the right type and strength is chosen and the skin is properly prepared. Some skin tones have a higher risk of pigmentation after inflammation, which is exactly why a consultation comes first.

Can I have a peel when pregnant or breastfeeding?

Many peels are not recommended during pregnancy. Please tell me if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The Pregnancy-Safe Glow Facial is designed for this stage.

What aftercare is needed?

Avoid heat, heavy exercise, active ingredients and sun exposure for the period advised, and wear a broad-spectrum SPF every day. Full written aftercare is given after your treatment.
