What is a Medical-Grade Chemical Peel?

​

Unlike over-the-counter exfoliating scrubs, a medical-grade chemical peel uses specific acid solutions to speed up cell turnover. By safely removing the damaged outer layers of the skin, these treatments reveal a smoother, clearer, and more youthful radiance underneath.

At Alita’s Beauty, we don’t believe in a "one size fits all" approach. We use advanced formulations to target:

  • Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Stimulating collagen to plump the skin.

  • Hyperpigmentation: Fading sun spots, age spots, and melasma.

  • Acne & Congestion: Unclogging pores and reducing inflammation.

  • Texture & Tone: Smoothing out rough patches and evening skin discoloration.

​

From Light to Advanced: Finding Your Perfect Match

​

The depth of the peel determines the results and the recovery time. During your consultation in our Sidcup clinic, we will assess your skin type to recommend the most effective level:

​

1. Light (Superficial) Peels

​

Often called "lunchtime peels," these use mild acids like Glycolic, Lactic, or Salicylic acid.

  • Best for: Brightening dull skin and minor breakouts.

  • Downtime: None. You may experience slight redness, but you can return to your day in Bexley immediately.

​

2. Medium-Depth Peels

Reaching the middle layer of the skin, these often utilize TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) to treat more significant imperfections.

  • Best for: Surface wrinkles, pigment shifts, and shallow acne scars.

  • Downtime: Expect 3–5 days of "peeling" or flaking as the old skin sheds.

​

3. Advanced & Deep Peels

​

These are intensive treatments designed for significant skin remodeling. Using medical-grade concentrations, these peels address deep-set lines and extensive sun damage, providing a dramatic lifting and smoothing effect.

Essential Aftercare: Protecting Your Investment

The secret to a successful peel lies in the days following your appointment. Because your "new" skin is fresh and delicate, following our aftercare protocol is vital:

  • Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable: Your skin will be photosensitive. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily, even on cloudy London days.

  • Hands Off: It can be tempting to pick at flaking skin, but this can lead to scarring. Let the peeling process happen naturally.

  • Hydrate & Soothe: Use the post-procedure creams recommended by your Alita’s Beauty therapist to maintain the skin barrier.

  • Avoid Heat: Stay away from saunas, hot tubs, and intense gym sessions for at least 48 hours.
