What are chemical peels and how do they work?

Chemical peels use a controlled acid solution to exfoliate the outermost layers of skin, encouraging natural cell turnover and renewal. At Regener8 Aesthetics in Selly Oak, Birmingham, we offer light and medium-depth peels tailored to individual skin concerns.

How much do chemical peels cost in Birmingham?

At Regener8 Aesthetics in Selly Oak, Birmingham, light chemical peels start from £65 and medium-depth peels are £95 per session. A £25 consultation fee is required and is redeemable against the cost of treatment.

Are chemical peels suitable for all skin types?

Suitability varies between individuals and depends on skin type, tone, and any existing conditions. A thorough consultation and skin assessment at our Birmingham clinic is required before any peel treatment to determine the most appropriate approach.

How many chemical peel sessions will I need?

The number of sessions depends on individual skin concerns and goals. Some clients may notice improvements after a single session, while others may benefit from a course of treatments. Your practitioner at Regener8 Aesthetics will discuss a personalised plan during your consultation.

What is the downtime after a chemical peel?

Downtime varies depending on the depth of the peel. Light peels typically involve minimal downtime with possible mild flaking for a few days. Medium-depth peels may involve several days of peeling and redness. Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare guidance.

Can chemical peels help with acne scarring and pigmentation?

Chemical peels may help improve the appearance of acne scarring, uneven pigmentation, and sun damage by promoting controlled exfoliation and skin renewal. Results vary between individuals and a consultation at our Selly Oak clinic is needed to assess suitability.

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are controlled exfoliation treatments that use specially formulated acid solutions to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. By encouraging the skin's natural renewal process, chemical peels may help to reveal smoother, more even-toned skin beneath.

At Regener8 Aesthetics in Selly Oak, Birmingham, we offer both light and medium-depth chemical peels. Each peel is selected based on your individual skin type, concerns, and treatment goals following a thorough consultation and skin assessment.

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer

Light (superficial) peels work on the outermost layer of skin and are well-suited to clients looking for a gentle refresh. They typically involve minimal downtime and can be a good starting point for those new to professional skin treatments.

Medium-depth peels penetrate more deeply and may be more appropriate for clients with concerns such as uneven pigmentation, sun damage, or mild acne scarring. These peels generally involve a longer recovery period and more visible peeling in the days following treatment.

The Treatment Process

Every chemical peel at Regener8 Aesthetics follows a structured process designed to ensure safety, comfort, and the best possible outcome for your skin.

Consultation & skin assessment — Your practitioner will assess your skin type, discuss your concerns and goals, and review your medical history. This determines which peel type and strength may be most suitable for you.

Skin preparation — The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed and prepared. Depending on the peel type, a pre-treatment solution may be applied to optimise results.

Peel application — The selected acid solution is carefully applied to the skin. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during this stage. Your practitioner monitors the skin throughout.

Neutralisation & soothing — The peel is neutralised and removed. A soothing mask or serum is typically applied to calm the skin and support recovery.

What to Expect After Treatment — Temporary redness, mild swelling and temporary sensitivity may occur. Recovery experiences vary between individuals and downtime varies depending on treatment type, though most people return to normal activities quickly. Personalised aftercare guidance will be provided during your appointment and through our consent and aftercare system.
