At HL Medical Aesthetics in Darlington, we offer clinical-grade chemical peels to transform your skin — from tackling acne and pigmentation to restoring a radiant, youthful glow. Led by Advanced Nurse Practitioner Hayley Lamb, every peel is tailored to your skin type and concerns for safe, visible results.

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are advanced skin resurfacing treatments that use carefully selected acids to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin and stimulate natural cell renewal. As damaged skin is removed, fresh, healthier skin is revealed beneath, resulting in a smoother, brighter, and more even complexion.

A chemical peel uses a carefully formulated solution to exfoliate the top layers of skin, triggering your body's natural healing process. This stimulates fresh skin cell production and boosts collagen, revealing a brighter, smoother, more even complexion. Unlike drugstore acids, clinical peels use higher concentrations for real, noticeable results — applied safely by trained professionals.

Our chemical peels are tailored to your individual skin type, concerns, and goals to deliver safe, effective, and natural-looking results.

Types of Peels We Offer

• Superficial (AHA/BHA) — Brightening, pore-clearing, no downtime. Perfect for dullness and congestion.
• Medium-depth (TCA) — Targets pigmentation, fine lines, and shallow acne scars. Some peeling for 3–5 days.
• Deep peels — Reserved for significant sun damage and deeper wrinkles. Performed under strict clinical supervision.

Why Choose HL Medical Aesthetics?

Our practitioners, Hayley Lamb and Loren, are fully trained and insured in advanced skin treatments. Every chemical peel begins with a comprehensive skin consultation to ensure we select the most appropriate treatment for your skin concerns.

Hayley's background as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner means every peel is underpinned by clinical knowledge of skin anatomy, Fitzpatrick skin typing, and safety protocols. We don't do "one size fits all" — your peel is chosen specifically for your skin's needs.

We use professional-grade chemical peels combined with expert aftercare advice to achieve safe, effective, and long-lasting results while protecting the health of your skin.

What to Expect

• Consultation — Skin assessment, Fitzpatrick typing, and goal setting.
• Prep — We may recommend a pre-peel skincare routine for 2 weeks.
• Treatment — The solution is applied and monitored closely. You'll feel a warm tingling sensation.
• Aftercare — Detailed post-peel instructions and follow-up support.

When Will I See Results?

Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin within a few days of treatment. Improvements continue as the skin renews itself over the following weeks.

For concerns such as acne, pigmentation, or signs of ageing, we often recommend a course of 3–6 treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve the best possible results. Your practitioner will create a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?

A warm, tingling "spiciness" that lasts a few minutes. Very tolerable.

How much will I peel?

Superficial = mild flaking. TCA = visible shedding for 3–5 days. We'll tell you exactly what to expect.

How many sessions?

A series of 3–6 spaced 2–4 weeks apart for corrective results. A single session gives a nice glow.

Can I combine with other treatments?

Yes! Peels pair well with microneedling, skin boosters, and laser hair removal.

When can I wear makeup?

Usually 24–48 hours for superficial peels, 5–7 days for TCA peels.

Am I suitable for a chemical peel?

Chemical peels are suitable for most skin types and can be tailored to suit your individual needs. Certain medical conditions, medications, or active skin infections may mean treatment is not suitable. A full consultation will determine whether a chemical peel is the right option for you.
