The Approach

Resurfacing with precision

Chemical peels are one of the oldest and most consistently effective skin treatments in medicine — with a history stretching back to ancient Egypt and decades of modern clinical evidence. Their longevity in aesthetic practice is not an accident: they work.

The key variable is selection and application. A medical-grade peel applied by a clinical professional to a properly assessed skin type delivers dramatically different results to an over-the-counter product. At Skiin, we use prescription-strength peeling agents, assess your skin before every session and adjust concentration and timing accordingly.

Chemical peels are an excellent standalone treatment and a valuable part of a broader skin health programme — often combined with RF microneedling, SkinPen microneedling or laser resurfacing for comprehensive skin transformation.

FAQs

Chemical Peels Manchester questions

At Skiin we offer a curated range of medical-grade peels — from superficial brightening peels suitable for sensitive skin, to medium-depth resurfacing peels targeting pigmentation, acne scarring and deeper textural irregularity. All peels are selected and applied by our clinical team.

Medical-grade chemical peels at Skiin start from £120 per session, with courses offering better value. Pricing depends on the peel type and areas treated. Discussed fully during consultation.

For general skin brightening and maintenance, individual or monthly peels are suitable. For targeted concerns — pigmentation, acne scarring — a course of 4–6 sessions is typically recommended. Your doctor will advise.

Superficial peels: minimal redness for 24 hours and possible mild flaking over 3–5 days. Medium-depth peels: more visible peeling for 5–7 days. You'll be advised on appropriate skincare and sun protection.

Yes — skin assessment determines which peel is appropriate. Superficial peels with gentle acids (lactic, mandelic) are well tolerated by sensitive skin. We never apply a peel without first understanding your skin's baseline tolerance.

A lunchtime peel — sometimes called a glow peel — is a superficial medical-grade peel that resurfaces with little visible flaking, so you can genuinely return to your day. Expect mild redness that settles within hours, smoother texture within days, and a fresher, brighter complexion by the weekend. It's the most popular entry point into medical peels: real clinical results, minimal disruption. Many patients book them seasonally as a glow-maintenance treatment alongside their home skincare.
