What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin resurfacing treatment that uses carefully selected acids to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This stimulates cell renewal, improves skin texture, and encourages the growth of fresh, healthy skin, leaving your complexion clearer, brighter, and more radiant.
Types of Peels We Offer
- Superficial peels (AHA/BHA)
- Medium-depth peels (TCA)
- Deep peels
The appropriate peel, expected recovery and aftercare will be discussed during your consultation. Treatment choice depends on your skin type, concerns and suitability.

Why Choose HL Medical Aesthetics?
Hayley Lamb is a fully qualified and insured aesthetic practitioner with specialist training in advanced skin treatments. We use professional-grade chemical peels selected specifically for your skin concerns and goals, ensuring treatments are both safe and effective. Every procedure is carried out in a clean, clinical environment with your comfort and skin health as our priority.
What to Expect
Your appointment begins with a thorough skin consultation and cleanse to determine the most suitable peel for your skin. The chemical peel solution is then carefully applied and left on the skin for a controlled period before being neutralised (where required). A calming serum and moisturiser are applied afterwards, followed by SPF protection.
Depending on the type of peel used, you may experience mild redness, tightness, or light peeling over the following 3–7 days as fresh skin is revealed.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
Many clients notice an improvement after just one treatment. However, for concerns such as acne, pigmentation, or signs of ageing, we typically recommend a course of 3–6 treatments, spaced 2–4 weeks apart, for optimal results. Your personalised treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are chemical peels painful?
Most clients experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during treatment, which usually lasts only a few minutes. The treatment is generally well tolerated.
How long is the recovery time?
Recovery depends on the strength of the peel. Mild peels may cause slight redness with little to no downtime, while medium-depth peels can result in light peeling for several days. We recommend avoiding excessive sun exposure, makeup (for 24 hours), and active skincare ingredients such as retinol and exfoliating acids until your skin has fully recovered.
When will I see results?
Your skin often appears brighter and smoother within a few days. Improvements continue as your skin renews itself over the following weeks, with the best results achieved after completing a recommended course of treatments.
Can chemical peels be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Chemical peels work well alongside treatments such as microneedling, skin boosters, LED light therapy, and medical-grade skincare. We’ll create a bespoke treatment plan tailored to your skin goals.
Are chemical peels suitable for all skin types?
Chemical peels are suitable for many skin types when selected appropriately. However, they may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions, active infections, or those who are pregnant. A full consultation is required to determine your suitability.
