Specialist peels use chemicals to remove the surface of the skin so that it looks brighter and more youthful. Later, as new skin grows, it appears smoother, softer, and rejuvenated.

Chemical peels can be superficial, medium, or deep, according to the layers they remove. The depth of the peel will have a significant impact on the downtime, your recovery, and the final results. The specialists at Bella Vou will consider your skin, your preferences, and your needs before recommending a peel to refresh and revitalise your complexion.

Have you ever wished you could just peel your face off and start again? Age, stress, and fatigue can leave our complexions looking dull, old, and lacklustre. Acne scars, freckles, enlarged pores, and sunspots can be challenging to treat with over-the-counter creams. A chemical peel can get rid of the surface layers, revealing skin that is smoother, fresher, and blemish-free.

Bella Vou offers bespoke rejuvenation. Chemical peels are one of several ways of resurfacing the skin, removing dead cells, and improving the appearance. Alternatives include laser resurfacing and microdermabrasion; the specialists will examine your skin and discuss the pros and cons of each treatment so that you can decide on the right approach for you.

Your consultant at Bella Vou will perform the Chemical Peel as an outpatient procedure. They will tailor the treatment to your skin, as well as your needs and expectations.

The therapist will clean and prepare your skin before painting the chemical onto your face, a little like a face-mask. It will be left in place for a short time before being carefully removed.

The specific chemical applied and the length of treatment will depend on the depth of your peel. Some tingling, stinging, and irritation are normal, especially with deeper peels, but it should not be painful, let your therapist know if you are experiencing any problems.

Your recovery will depend on the depth of the peel. Following superficial peels, there is minimal downtime, but some mild redness, skin flaking, and irritation are normal for several days after treatment.

Medium chemical peels can make the skin red, swollen, and sore. Crusts and brown blotches can appear, before peeling to reveal new skin. The initial recovery is around a week, but the redness can take several weeks to resolve.

Deep chemical peels require much more downtime after treatment. There is significant redness, swelling, and pain. The eyelids can be severely swollen, and white spots, cysts, and crusts can appear. It takes two weeks for the new skin to be revealed, and redness can last for several months.

The team will recommend products to soothe your skin, effective sunblock, and provide advice on follow-up care.
