CHEMICAL PEEL COVENTRY

I take the time to get to know what you want to achieve and provide honest feedback on what to expect based on your particular needs. I am experienced and highly qualified in skin and nutritional therapy, so I can provide a more holistic approach to skin, beauty, and wellbeing. By understanding how diet can also affect the results of treatments reoccurring, you have the best chance of exceptional long-term results possible. Chemical peels may only be part of an overall plan specifically put together for you.

Chemical peels are generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced professional such as us at Skinutrition. However, their safety largely depends on factors such as the type and strength of the peel, the individual's skin type, and their overall health. While mild peels might cause minimal side effects such as redness and slight irritation, medium to deep peels can entail more pronounced risks, including prolonged redness, scarring, infection, and changes in skin pigmentation. That's why we spend the time with individuals to have a thorough consultation to assess their suitability for any procedure, and to ensure that appropriate post-treatment care is followed to minimise potential complications and enhance recovery.

Yes, there is a recovery time following a chemical peel, and it varies depending on the type and depth of the peel. 

Superficial peels generally have a shorter recovery period, typically taking about 3 to 7 days for the skin to heal and the peeling to subside. During this time, it is common to experience some redness, dryness, and mild irritation. 

Medium peels can require 7 to 14 days for recovery, during which the skin may become swollen and peel significantly. Deeper peels demand the longest recovery time, often necessitating several weeks for the skin to fully recover, with substantial redness and peeling. Throughout the recovery process, it is crucial to follow our aftercare instructions, including avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products, to ensure optimal healing and prevent complications.

The number of sessions needed varies based on the individual and treatment goals. As there may be other treatments or diatary changes that can also help address your skin needs in a short timeframe. However, consistency is key as this is not a one-off treatment.

Light Peels (Superficial)

Target mild skin issues such as dullness and congestion

Recommended every 2–4 weeks

Visible results after 1–3 sessions

Medium Peels

Treat acne, pigmentation, and mild scarring

Spaced every 4–6 weeks

Best results in 3–6 sessions

Deep Peels

Target deeper wrinkles, melasma, and significant texture issues these will be less frequent due to their intensity

Results are visible after one session, but you will continue to see further inprovements over the months if sessions are continued.

When planning for a facial chemical peel, you should set aside not only time for the procedure itself but also for pre-treatment consultation and post-treatment recovery. The procedure itself can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the type of peel. Recovery time varies significantly based on the peel's depth. Overall, it's wise to set aside at least a week where certain activities they can affect the treated area can be adjusted to accommodate the procedure and its aftereffects.

A chemical peel can benefit a wide range of individuals seeking to improve the appearance and texture of their skin. People with sun damage, irregular pigmentation, fine lines, and superficial scars, such as those from acne, can see significant improvements after undergoing a chemical peel. Additionally, those dealing with certain types of acne or having rough patches and dull skin may find that a chemical peel helps in refreshing and revitalising their complexion. It's important to note that different types of chemical peels are available, from mild to deep, so the suitability and extent of benefits can vary based on a person's skin type, skin concerns, and overall health. This is why we place so much importance on the inition consultation.

There are certain circumstances where avoiding a chemical peel is advisable. If you currently ahve an active skin infections, open wound, or sunburn we would advice for you to refrain from undergoing this procedure as it can exacerbate these conditions. If you have a history of severe allergies or hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients in the peel you may also need to avoid it to prevent adverse reactions. We would advise pregnant or breastfeeding women to postpone chemical peels due to potential risks to the child. If you have recently undergone certain cosmetic procedures, such as laser treatments or facial surgeries, you should wait for complete healing before considering a chemical peel. Additionally, those taking isotretinoin, a medication for severe acne, may need to avoid chemical peels until a safe timeline post-medication has been reached.
