Chemical Peels

At Silk Space Clinic

What are chemical peels?

Chemical Peels are an intensive yet non-aggressive way to fast-track your skin results. By encouraging deep rejuvenation with minimal downtime, they’re an effective part of many treatment plans.

Before starting, we carry out a detailed skin consultation to recommend the most suitable course of peels and create a home care regime to support your results.

Our peels use clinical-strength alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and vitamin A in varying strengths. We introduce these ingredients gradually to rebuild your skin’s health and resilience — never compromising its barrier.

Benefits can include:

Deep hydration and plumping
Increased cell turnover
Collagen and elastin stimulation
Sebaceous gland regulation
Brighter, more even skin tone
Smoother texture and reduced pores
Softening of fine lines and pigmentation
