Candidate & Preparation

Appointments & Safety

What Happens During Appointment

Skin is cleansed, peel is applied for a set time, then neutralised or removed. The whole process usually takes 15 to 45 minutes.

Pain Considerations

Most peels feel like stinging or burning for a few minutes. Deeper peels are more uncomfortable but still short-lived.

Safety Considerations

Main risks are burns, infection, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. These are usually linked to wrong peel choice or poor aftercare.

Results & Maintenance

How Long Results Last

Results can last weeks to months depending on the peel and your skincare. Skin continues to age, so maintenance treatments are common.
