Chemical Peels in Manchester

If you’re looking to brighten your skin and boost its natural glow, our chemical peels are a great place to start. We offer three types of CLINICCARE superficial peels - Glow, Pure and Refresh. Each are tailored to target specific skin concerns such as dullness, acne, uneven tone or early signs of ageing. These gentle yet effective peels use a combination of Glycolic, Lactic, Azelaic, Kojic and Salicylic acids to exfoliate the skin’s outer layers, helping to reveal a fresher and more even complexion. They also encourage healthy skin cell turnover, leaving your skin looking smoother and more radiant.

During your consultation we’ll choose the right peel for you based on your skin type and goals, ensuring a safe and personalised experience.

 FAQs

  • A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses a blend of gentle acids to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This process encourages cell turnover, revealing fresher, smoother and more radiant skin underneath. It can help with concerns like pigmentation, acne, fine lines and dullness.

  • Most people find chemical peels very tolerable. You might feel a slight tingling or warmth during the treatment, but it’s usually mild and short-lived. Your skin practitioner will guide you through the process and ensure your comfort.

  • We use CLINICCARE superficial chemical peels, which are expertly formulated with gentle yet effective acids including glycolic, lactic, salicylic and kojic acid. These medical-grade peels are designed to target specific skin concerns while maintaining your skin’s health and integrity.

  • For best results, we typically recommend a course of 3–6 peels spaced a few weeks apart. However, your treatment plan will be tailored to your skin goals and how your skin responds.

  • Side effects are usually mild and temporary. You might experience:

    • Redness or slight sensitivity

    • Dryness or flaking skin
