RESURFACE. RENEW. REVEAL.
Clinically controlled skin resurfacing that removes damaged surface cells to reveal smoother, clearer, more even-toned skin beneath.
ABOUT THIS TREATMENT
A chemical peel uses a carefully selected acid solution applied to the skin surface to break down and remove the outermost layer of dead or damaged cells. As those cells shed, the skin beneath — fresher, smoother, and more evenly pigmented — is revealed.
Chemical peels have been used in medical aesthetics for decades and remain one of the most clinically proven treatments for improving skin tone, texture, and clarity. They are effective for fine lines, uneven pigmentation, sun damage, acne scarring, and general skin dullness.
At Prof. Hindocha's practice, peel selection is matched to your skin type, concerns, and tolerance. A thorough skin assessment prior to treatment ensures the correct peel depth and formulation is chosen — maximising results while minimising unnecessary downtime.

First Follow-Up
The exact surgical approach — augmentation, reduction, lift or combination — is determined at consultation based on your individual anatomy and goals.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT PEEL
Peel strength is matched to your skin type, concerns, and the downtime you can accommodate. The formulation is always selected at consultation.
SUPERFICIAL
Targets the epidermis only. Minimal to no visible peeling. Ideal for general brightening, mild texture concerns, and first-time patients. Little to no social downtime. Suitable for regular maintenance.
DOWNTIME: Minimal
MEDIUM
Reaches the papillary dermis. Visible peeling over 3–7 days. Effective for moderate pigmentation, deeper lines, acne scarring, and sun damage. The most commonly recommended depth for meaningful, lasting improvement.
DOWNTIME: 3–7 Days
DEEP
Penetrates to the reticular dermis. Reserved for significant sun damage, deep wrinkles, and pronounced scarring. Requires detailed clinical assessment. Delivers the most dramatic, long-lasting results.
DOWNTIME: 1–2 Weeks
YOUR SKIN'S JOURNEY
Day of Treatment
The peel solution is applied to cleansed skin and left for a controlled period. You may feel a mild tingling or warmth. The solution is neutralised and post-peel products applied before you leave the clinic.
Days 1–2
Skin may feel tight and appear slightly flushed. Superficial peeling begins around the edges of the face. Keep the skin hydrated and avoid touching or picking. Your follow-up check is at this stage.
Days 3–5
The most visible phase of renewal. Shedding of the outermost skin layers occurs across treated areas. Continue gentle cleansing and apply prescribed moisturiser. Do not force the peeling — let it happen naturally.
Days 7–14
Peeling subsides and the new skin is fully visible. Expect smoother texture, improved tone, and a noticeable clarity. SPF protection is essential at this stage and beyond to preserve the results.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Results develop progressively as the skin heals and regenerates. Most patients notice the most significant change in the two weeks following treatment, with skin continuing to improve for up to a month as collagen remodelling takes effect.

WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE THIS TREATMENT
Chemical peels are among the most studied and validated non-surgical skin treatments available. Their effectiveness for pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scarring is well-established across all skin types and age groups.
Peel depth and formulation are matched to your skin type and concern — from a light glycolic peel for general brightening to a deeper TCA peel for marked sun damage or scarring. No two treatments are identical.
Beyond removing damaged surface cells, peels trigger a wound-healing response in the deeper skin layers, stimulating new collagen and elastin formation. This improves skin firmness and elasticity over time.
Chemical peels complement anti-wrinkle injectables, dermal fillers, and Profhilo. Peels address surface skin quality while other treatments target volume and dynamic lines — a combined plan delivers more comprehensive results.

My skin looked dull and uneven for years. After the first peel I could see a genuine difference. By the third treatment, people were asking what I had been doing differently.
“
The team was very clear about what to expect during the peeling phase. That preparation made all the difference. The results were absolutely worth it.
“
I'd had pigmentation issues since my twenties. A course of medium peels changed my skin completely. I feel more confident without makeup now than I ever have.
