Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Professional Chemical Peels
What is a chemical peel and how does it work?
A chemical peel is a professional dermatological treatment that uses medical-grade acids to remove damaged layers of skin, revealing healthier, smoother skin underneath.
At Cathedral Dermatology, we use NeoStrata ProSystem peels with glycolic acid, mandelic acid, citric acid, and retinol formulations to target specific skin concerns like aging, acne, and hyperpigmentation.
Are chemical peels safe for all skin types?
Yes, our NeoStrata chemical peels are safe for all skin types. Our medical professionals conduct thorough consultations to determine the appropriate peel strength and formulation for your specific skin type and concerns.
How much do chemical peels cost?
Our chemical peel treatments are competitively priced. Individual full-face treatments with our qualified nurse or skin therapist are £95. We also offer excellent value with our course of 3 treatments for £250, providing significant savings for patients interested in achieving optimal results.
Do chemical peels hurt during treatment?
How long is chemical peel recovery time?
Recovery time depends on the peel strength. Most of our peels typically require 2-3 days of mild peeling with no downtime. Deeper treatments may involve 5-7 days of visible peeling. Your clinician will discuss this with you before your treatment.
When will I see results from chemical peels?
Initial improvements in skin texture and brightness are visible within 7-10 days after your first treatment. Optimal results for acne scars, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation typically appear after a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart.
How many chemical peel treatments do I need?
We recommend a series of 6 treatments at 3-4 week intervals for optimal results, followed by maintenance treatments every 4-8 weeks. The exact number depends on your skin concerns and treatment goals, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
What's the difference between at-home peels and professional chemical peels?
Professional chemical peels use higher concentrations of active ingredients (20%-70% glycolic acid vs. 2-10% in at-home products) and are applied by trained professionals who can customise treatment depth and monitor your skin’s response for safety and effectiveness.
What should I avoid before and after chemical peel treatment?
Before treatment, avoid retinoids, exfoliating products, and excessive sun exposure for 1-2 weeks. After treatment, avoid direct sun exposure, use gentle cleansers, apply recommended moisturisers, and use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily.
Are there any side effects from chemical peels?
Common side effects include temporary redness, mild peeling, and increased skin sensitivity. Serious complications are rare when performed by trained professionals. We conduct thorough health history reviews to minimise risks and ensure treatment safety.
Are there any medical conditions that prevent chemical peel treatment?
Certain medications, active skin infections, recent cosmetic procedures, or specific medical conditions may affect treatment eligibility. We conduct comprehensive health history reviews and skin assessments to ensure chemical peels are appropriate for each patient.
