What are chemical peels?

People always ask what exactly is a chemical peel and what do they do for the skin?

A chemical peel is a gentle exfoliating solution that contains alpha-hydroxy (AHA) and/or beta-hydroxy (BHA) acids. This solution is applied to the skin to aid in the removal of dead skin cells. At The York Skin Clinic, we offer a variety of Meso Peels and AlumierMD peels to cater to different skin conditions such as acne, rosacea, ageing, and pigmentation.

Our customised exfoliating peels are designed to reduce the visible effects of sun damage, including fine lines and discolouration, while enhancing radiance with each clinically proven application. Results can be noticeable after just one 30-minute treatment with no downtime required. In-clinic peels provide optimal results, and using at-home products in between appointments can further enhance the benefits for longer-lasting results.

Chemical peels not only improve skin health but also prepare the skin to better absorb active ingredients from daily skincare routines, making them more effective. This two-way process ensures that your skincare products work harder for you.
