Chemical Peels & Skin Resurfacers Wakefield

Skin peels can help you improve your skin’s texture and smoothness, revealing fresher, younger-looking skin in as little as one treatment. They minimise the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines while boosting collagen production for firmer skin. Skin peels also reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, age spots and acne scars. Not all skin types respond well to chemical peels. Additionally, you may need follow-up appointments to maintain your desired results.

When provided by qualified professionals, chemical peels are safe and effective for various skin concerns. Choosing the right type of peel to complement your skin’s needs and sensitivities is crucial to avoid potential complications.

Rest assured, you’re in excellent hands with the Elevate Medical Aesthetics team. Whether you’re a first-timer or a repeat patient, we’ve got all your skin peel needs covered at our clinic.

The sensation experienced during a skin peel can vary from mild tingling to a more intense burning or stinging. Light peels may cause slight discomfort similar to a mild sunburn. Depending on the depth of the peel, recovery time can vary from a day to several weeks. After a peel, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so you must use sunscreen consistently to prevent further damage.

Medical peel treatment durations can vary depending on the type and depth of the peel. The average treatment time at Elevate Medical Aesthetics is 40 minutes. The time involved includes preparing the skin before the peel and applying neutralising agents or balms afterward.

While chemical peels are designed to improve skin tone and texture, they sometimes result in hyperpigmentation. This occurs more commonly in individuals with darker skin tones or when post-treatment care instructions aren’t followed correctly. Hyperpigmentation is usually preventable and treatable with skin-lightening products and sun protection.

The effects of a chemical peel aren’t permanent. Light peel results may last 1-2 months, while deeper peels might last several months to up to 10 years. As your skin continues to age, new skin concerns may develop over time. Maintenance peels and following a good skincare routine can help prolong results.

Light to medium skin peels, which work by exfoliating the top skin layers, can help diminish freckles. Repeated peel sessions may be necessary for some individuals to achieve the desired lightening effect since freckles can recur with sun exposure.

The depth of a skin peel depends on the type and concentration of the chemical solution used. Light peels only affect the outermost skin layer (the epidermis). Medium peels reach the upper to middle layers of the dermis, producing more significant changes without penetrating the deepest layer. Deep peels penetrate several dermis layers to offer the most dramatic results. However, they come with more extensive recovery time and potential risks and side effects.

Chemical peel costs can vary according to the type of peel and provider. You should also consider the costs of pre- and post-treatment skincare products you may need to maintain results. Our medical peels start at £110 (subject to change). Learn more by browsing our clinic’s treatment price list.
