What to expect from your first peel

A first peel can feel like a leap. Here is exactly what happens, so there are no surprises.

Natural skincare ingredients and tools

The consultation and patch test

At least two days before, a doctor or nurse looks at your skin, asks about products and medicines, and tests a small area. If your skin reacts, we choose something gentler or wait.

Preparing your skin

For a week before, pause scrubs, retinoids and facial waxing, and avoid strong sun. Come to the appointment with clean skin.

The flaking is temporary. The habits you build around it, like daily sunscreen, are what last.

During the peel

We cleanse, protect sensitive areas and apply the peel for a few minutes. Most people feel tingling or warmth. We use a fan and remove it early if needed.

The flaky days

Your skin may feel tight on day one and flake lightly on days two to four. This is normal. Do not pick or peel. Moisturise and keep out of strong sun.

What happens next

We message you two days later. Peels usually work as a course of four to six, and changes build gradually. Results vary, and we will review progress with you at each visit.

General information, not personal advice. Results vary from person to person and no outcome is promised. Every treatment starts with a conversation about what is realistic for your skin.

Yes, send us a WhatsApp message with a photo, and the team will suggest whether a consultation would help.
