What is The Perfect Peel®?
The Perfect Peel® is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to improve skin tone, texture, and overall clarity. It contains a blend of ingredients including trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, phenol, and vitamin C.
It is suitable for most skin types and tones and is used to treat a variety of skin concerns.
What skin concerns can it treat?
The Perfect Peel® may help improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
- Acne and acne scarring
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Dull or ageing skin
- Enlarged pores
Our Specialist Nurse Prescriber will assess whether this treatment is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.
How does it work?
The peel works by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin, stimulating cell turnover and collagen production. This encourages the growth of new, healthier skin with improved texture and tone.
What to expect during treatment
- Treatment takes around 15 minutes
- The peel solution is applied evenly to the skin
- You may experience a mild tingling, stinging, or warming sensation
- The peel is left on the skin and not washed off until instructed
- You will be provided with an aftercare kit and detailed instructions
What happens after treatment?
- Skin may feel tight and appear red or slightly darker
- Peeling usually begins around day 2–3
- Peeling typically lasts 5–7 days
- Results continue to improve over several weeks
Do not pick or peel the skin, as this may cause irritation or scarring.
When will I see results?
- Brighter, smoother skin may be noticeable within 7 days
- Continued improvement in skin tone and texture over the following weeks
- For optimal results, a course of treatments may be recommended
