Chemical Peels
About the Treatment
Refined, Radiant, Renewed. At Dr Sumi London, we use targeted medical skin peels to promote professional-grade regeneration and tissue remodelling. Whether you're seeking to address specific skin concerns or simply restore a healthy glow, our peels are tailored to your skin's unique needs, delivering transformative results with expert precision.
Why Choose a Medical Peel?
Unlike over-the-counter exfoliants, medical-grade skin peels are high-potency treatments that reach deeper layers of the skin. Under the supervision of Dr Sumi, these peels provide a controlled and safe way to accelerate your skin's natural renewal process. They are essential for anyone looking to achieve more significant improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall vitality.
How It Works
The science behind a medical peel lies in the power of acids and enzymes to dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together. By removing this surface debris, the treatment triggers a healing response in the deeper layers. This stimulates the production of fresh skin cells and vital collagen, leading to a complexion that is thicker, healthier, and more resilient over time.
Common Questions
Your Treatment Journey
Your journey begins with a thorough clinical assessment where Dr Sumi reviews your skin health and goals. During the treatment, the skin is cleansed before a bespoke peel solution is precisely applied. You may feel a mild tingling or warmth as the product works. After a specific duration, the peel is neutralised, and calming medical-grade products and SPF are applied. We finish with a detailed aftercare guide to ensure optimal healing and results.
Concerns We Commonly Treat
Medical peels are exceptionally versatile and can be tailored to address:
- Active Acne and Congestion
- Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles
- Uneven Skin Tone and Texture
- Dullness or Lack of Radiance
How much peeling will I get?
Peeling varies depending on the depth of the treatment. For superficial peels, you may experience minor flaking for 2-3 days with no downtime. Medium-depth peels can involve more noticeable peeling and may require a few days of social downtime. Dr Sumi will always advise you on the expected progression of your specific treatment.
Am I suitable?
Most skin types can benefit from a tailored peel. However, they are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. A consultation is required to ensure the treatment is safe and effective for your specific skin profile.
Planning a holiday?
Because new skin is more sensitive to UV damage, we recommend having your peel at least 2 weeks before or after a sun-intensive holiday. Strict SPF adherence is mandatory post-peel.
