The Perfect Derma Peel

Brighter, more even-looking skin

A professional peel for dullness, uneven tone and marks left by breakouts.

A chemical peel loosens and lifts away the top layers of skin so fresher skin shows beneath. The Perfect Derma is a professional-strength peel that we use for dullness, uneven tone, and marks left behind by breakouts.

Peeling is part of how it works. You can expect flaking for several days, so plan it ahead of busy weeks.

What happens on your skin

Over the next few days the treated skin dries and flakes off, taking dull surface cells with it. Fresh skin underneath often looks brighter and more even.

How much you flake depends on your skin. It is normal, and picking at it can leave marks, so let it come away on its own.

Planning around a peel

Book it when you can lie low for several days. Avoid sun exposure and strong actives like retinoids or exfoliating acids until peeling finishes, and wear SPF every day.

One peel gives a noticeable refresh. For tone and post-breakout marks, a series spaced a few weeks apart builds on it.

Who should check with us first
