Chemical Peels at face+ in Stirling
A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.
Power Peptide Resurfacer (level 1)
Superficial chemical peels (resurfacer) are a good option for many people as they have a gentler effect and do not give visible skin peeling, inflammation or significant redness compared to medium and deep chemical peels.
TCA peel (level3)
A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.
Facts about Chemical Peels
Acne
Chemical peel treatments exfoliate the skin, allowing dead skin cells and excess oils to be removed more effectively. This unblocks follicles and pores, reducing the appearance of pimples, improving skin texture.
Fine lines and wrinkles
Chemical peels can reduce these, especially under the eye area and around the mouth in sun damaged or ageing skin.
Rough skin texture
Chemical skin peels can improve rough skin texture by increasing the amount of collagen in the upper layer of the skin.
Lentigines (large freckles)
These appear as dark spots on the skin, also called liver spots, or age spots. A course of chemical peels can lighten large freckles and improve the appearance of sun damaged skin.
Melasma
A skin discoloration which appears as patches found on the cheeks, nose, lips, upper lip, and forehead. Common in women who are taking hormonal treatment. A course of treatment can lighten the appearance of the skin.
Hyperpigmentation
Caused by excess skin pigment in the skin which can result in uneven skin tone. Chemical peels can lighten and even out the skin tone.
Our Recommendation
Whilst you may see some very minor benefits after a single superficial peel. We recommend a course of six peels, one or two weeks apart for the best long term results.

Pre Peel Consultation
We advise you to book a pre peel consultation two weeks before your chemical peel where we will assess your skin and exclude any medical contraindications. You will be advised to prepare your skin for two weeks before the peel, and be given advice on creams, treatments and procedures you should stop or avoid before your chemical peel. For further information about these please also read our Chemical Peels Pre and Post Instructions.
After the consultation, and if you are happy to proceed, we will help you complete a medical history form and you will need to sign a consent form before treatment can progress.
What happens during treatment?
During the peel your skin will be cleansed and toned and the chemical peel will be applied to your skin using a gentle brush, the peel will be left on the skin for between three and five minutes. The procedure is not painful. The total consultation and procedure time is 30 minutes.
Chemical Peel Aftercare Advice
After your peel you may notice that the skin is more red than usual for two hours afterwards and may feel tight or dry. You may also experience some very mild flaky skin for a few days. It is very important to use a sunscreen after treatment, for four weeks to prevent uneven skin tone and excess pigmentation. Please read our Chemical Peels Pre and Post Instructions.
