What Are Face Peels?
Face peels are cosmetic treatments that involve the application of a chemical solution to the face. These “chemicals” are often derived from botanicals for a gentler peel.
The solution works to exfoliate and remove the outermost layers of the skin, revealing fresher, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin underneath. Face peels can be performed at different depths, depending on the specific needs and goals of the individual receiving treatment.
What Can Face Peels Treat?
The main purpose of a face peel is to improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin. They can effectively address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Face peels stimulate collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leading to a more youthful complexion.
- Uneven skin tone and texture: Peels help even out skin tone by fading hyperpigmentation, reducing the appearance of acne scars, and improving overall texture, resulting in smoother and more radiant skin.
- Acne and blemishes: Face peels can help unclog pores, reduce acne breakouts, and improve the appearance of acne scars, promoting clearer and healthier skin.
- Sun damage and age spots: Peels can effectively target sun-damaged skin and age spots by gently exfoliating the damaged layers and revealing brighter, more even-toned skin.
What Are the Different Kinds of Face Peels?
There are different types of face peels available, ranging from mild to more potent treatments. The intensity of the peel is determined by the type and concentration of the chemical solution used, as well as the duration of application. Some common types of face peels include:
- Superficial peels: These peels are milder and typically use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin. They require minimal downtime and are suitable for treating mild skin imperfections.
- Medium peels: These peels go deeper into the skin, using stronger acids such as glycolic acid or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to target moderate skin concerns. They may involve a longer recovery period, with some peeling and redness expected.
- Deep peels: These peels penetrate several layers of the skin and are usually performed using phenol or a high concentration of TCA. Deep peels can effectively address severe skin concerns but require a longer recovery time and may involve more significant peeling and redness.
Our qualified skin care professionals will help you determine the most appropriate type of face peel for your specific needs and skin condition.

At Wimpole Aesthetics, we offer a range of cutting-edge and innovative facial peels from leading product companies. As well as producing an all-over skin rejuvenation, these treatments can also target a wide range of solutions for face skin concerns, including sun damage, age spots and rosacea.
Cosmedix Peels
Cosmedix Peels are a revolutionary approach to skin rejuvenation, utilising chirally correct botanical ingredients and potent actives to repair the skin’s natural barrier function. Unlike harsh chemical peels, Cosmedix peels provide transformative results without causing damage or irritation.
The treatment stimulates the skin’s repair process, promoting the production of new, healthy skin cells, resulting in improved texture, tone, and overall skin health. Whether you want to rejuvenate tired-looking skin, reduce fine lines, or improve complexion, Cosmedix Peels offer a highly effective and gentle solution.
Dermamelan Peels
Dermamelan Peels are renowned for effectively addressing pigmentation issues, making them ideal for conditions like melasma, chloasma, and lentigo. These peels target overproduction and uneven distribution of melanin responsible for pigmentation irregularities.
By utilising a unique combination of active ingredients, Dermamelan peels inhibit melanin production, break down existing melanin deposits, and even out skin tone. The peel also helps reduce photodamage effects caused by sun exposure, revealing a fresher and more even complexion.
GlycoAla Peels
GlycoAla Peels provide a gentle and non-invasive alternative to traditional chemical peels. Combining glycolic acid with photodynamic therapy, these peels effectively target fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, and acne scars.
The hyaluronic acid component ensures intense hydration, promoting plumpness and elasticity in the skin. GlycoAla peels stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and reducing signs of aging. With minimal downtime, this treatment rejuvenates the skin, leaving you with a radiant and refreshed appearance.

Does getting a face peel hurt?
During a face peel, you may experience a tingling or mild burning sensation as the chemical solution is applied to the skin. However, discomfort is generally minimal and well-tolerated.
Can anyone get a face peel?
While face peels are generally safe for most individuals, not everyone is a suitable candidate. People with certain skin conditions, such as active infections, open wounds, or sunburned skin, may need to postpone the treatment. It is important to consult our skincare professionals to determine if you are a suitable candidate for a face peel now.
Can I undergo a face peel if I have a history of cold sores or fever blisters?
If you have a history of cold sores or fever blisters, it is important to inform us before undergoing a face peel. We may recommend antiviral medication prior to the treatment to minimise the risk of a herpes simplex virus outbreak.
Can I go out in the sun after a face peel?
After a face peel, it is crucial to protect your skin from sun exposure. The newly revealed skin may be more susceptible to sun damage. Use sunscreen with a high SPF, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure during the healing period.

Natalie and Dr Josh have been incredible in boosting my confidence and my skin! They truly listen and deliver 100% natural results every time. Natalie is completely honest, professional, has integrity and that’s why I trust her fully. Wimpole clinic have a much greater range of cutting edge treatments beyond anti wrinkle treatment that have resulted in my skin improving with age. It’s mad but true. They always assess what is right for my face and my skin on the day and advise according to what my skin needs. I’ve been going to Wimpole Aesthetics for years now, initially drawn to their incredible IV boosts but am now unable to ever turn back. Class, quality and aesthetic results that are truly worth it!!!
Dr Josh is a caring and knowledgeable doctor, his consultation is very detailed, he answered all the questions that I am concerned. Dr Natalie did the filler and skin booster, she takes care of me a lot, even after the treatment she still cares about me, I booked the review after two weeks, highly recommended! Btw, they have a Chinese speaking staff so don’t worry if you are not familiar with medical terminology!

I have been living with scarring above my upper lip, as a result of electrolysis treatment 25 years ago, in the form of a deep vertical line and small indentations in the skin. I sought help from Wimpole Aesthetics, and from the moment that I entered the small, personal clinic I was totally put at ease and welcomed by the extremely professional and friendly team. I received a course of Mesotherapy and Dermapen treatment and am absolutely delighted with the results. I had almost given up on ever having smooth line-free skin above my upper lip again. I highly recommend letting Wimpole Aesthetics take care of you.
Having lived in Australia for over 10 years, my skin had suffered mild sun-damage and had developed a lot of discolouration on my face in particular. Also, as I approached the age of 40, I noticed a lot of wrinkles appearing! I decided to have Microdermabrasion treatment and the improvements after just 3 treatments were extremely encouraging. I have booked a further 2 treatments in coming months and I am so excited about seeing further benefits to the look and texture of my skin.
