What are Skin Peels?

Skin peels, also known as chemical peels, use carefully formulated acid solutions to exfoliate the outermost layers of the skin. This controlled exfoliation removes dead and damaged cells, unclogs pores, and triggers the skin's natural repair process — stimulating collagen production and accelerating cell turnover. The result is fresher, more radiant skin with improved texture and tone.

At Mesglo London, we use professional-grade peel formulations including glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, and combination peels. Each formulation targets different skin concerns, and our practitioners select the most appropriate peel based on your skin type, sensitivity, and goals.

Types of Skin Peels Available

Superficial peels use mild acids such as glycolic or lactic acid to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of skin. They are ideal for brightening dull skin, improving hydration, and maintaining skin health with minimal downtime. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

Medium-depth peels penetrate deeper into the skin to address more significant concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and deeper fine lines. These peels deliver more dramatic results but require a slightly longer recovery period of 5-7 days.

Salicylic acid peels are oil-soluble and penetrate deep into pores, making them particularly effective for oily, acne-prone skin. They reduce breakouts, minimise pore size, and improve overall skin clarity.

What Skin Concerns Can Peels Treat?

• Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
• Sun damage and age spots
• Acne and post-acne marks
• Fine lines and early signs of ageing
• Rough or uneven skin texture

The Treatment Process

Your skin peel treatment begins with a thorough skin analysis and consultation to determine the most appropriate peel for your skin. On the day of treatment, your skin is cleansed and degreased to ensure even penetration of the peel solution. The peel is then carefully applied and left on the skin for a precise amount of time before being neutralised and removed. A soothing serum and SPF are applied to protect the skin. The entire appointment takes 30-45 minutes.

Aftercare Advice

Following your skin peel, it is essential to apply SPF 50 daily and avoid direct sun exposure. Avoid using active skincare ingredients such as retinol or AHAs for 5-7 days post-treatment. Keep the skin hydrated with a gentle moisturiser and avoid picking or peeling any flaking skin. Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to the specific peel used.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recovery time for a chemical peel?

Recovery depends on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels have minimal downtime with slight flaking for 2-3 days. Medium-depth peels may involve 5-7 days of peeling. Your practitioner will recommend the appropriate peel for your skin.

How many treatments will I need?

A course of 3-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. Maintenance treatments every 6-8 weeks help sustain improvements. Your practitioner will create a personalised treatment schedule.

Are skin peels suitable for darker skin tones?

Some peels carry a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones. We carefully assess your skin type and select peels that are safe and appropriate. Mandelic acid and lactic acid peels are generally well-tolerated by all skin tones.
