A chemical peel is a non-surgical procedure to enhance your facial appearance including reducing the signs of ageing, decreasing mild scarring, age spots and freckles and
improving the texture and colour of your skin.
Skin peels can help you improve your skin’s texture and smoothness, revealing fresher, younger-looking skin in as little as one treatment. They minimise the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while boosting collagen production for firmer skin. Skin peels also reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, age spots and acne scars. Not all skin types respond well to chemical peels. Additionally, you may need follow-up appointments to maintain your desired results.

The sensation experienced during a skin peel can vary from mild tingling to a more intense burning or stinging. Light peels may cause slight discomfort similar to a mild sunburn. Depending on the depth of the peel, recovery time can vary from a day to several weeks. After a peel, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so you must use sunscreen consistently to prevent further damage.
Medical peel treatment durations can vary depending on the type and depth of the peel. The average treatment time at Elevate Medical Aesthetics is 40 minutes. The time involved includes preparing the skin before the peel and applying neutralising agents or balms afterward.
The effects of a chemical peel aren’t permanent. Light peel results may last 1-2 months, while deeper peels might last several months to up to 10 years. As your skin continues to age, new skin concerns may develop over time. Maintenance peels and following a good skincare routine can help prolong results.
The depth of a skin peel depends on the type and concentration of the chemical solution used. Light peels only affect the outermost skin layer (the epidermis). Medium peels reach the upper to middle layers of the dermis, producing more significant changes without penetrating the deepest layer. Deep peels penetrate several dermis layers to offer the most dramatic results. However, they come with more extensive recovery time and potential risks and side effects.
Depending on maintenance, Lumecca results can last for year, or they can be permanent. Follow-up sessions may be needed to maintain your results. We may recommend a rigorous skincare routine that includes sun protection for your skin to prevent further damage.
Chemical peel costs can vary according to the type of peel and provider. You should also consider the costs of pre- and post-treatment skincare products you may need to maintain results. Our medical peels start at £110 (subject to change).
