Skin Peels in Sheffield

Your Trusted Skin Peels Clinic in Sheffield

Skin peels work by harnessing the power of naturally occurring fruit acids and enzymes to deeply exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. The treatment stimulates new cell growth and collagen production, helping to reveal fresher, clearer, brighter skin. At our sk:n clinic in Sheffield we offer a variety of industry leading chemical peels that effectively remove the top layer of dead skin cells and encourage skin to grow, revealing a softer, smoother complexion.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Chemical skin peels are a solution applied to the face or body with active ingredients designed to exfoliate, stimulate collagen and elastin production to encourage cell turnover, leaving skin softer, clearer, with a more even skin tone.

Their patented carrier-solution delivers greater absorption of the active ingredients into the skin, and this deep-acting technology reduces trauma to the surface of the skin and increases the rate of exfoliation for better results. Chemical peels contain different types of acid, including AHAs (glycolic, lactic and citric acids) and BHAs (salicylic acid), and produce varying levels of chemical exfoliation to treat different conditions, and can be superficial, medium or deep-acting.

At sk:n we have a wide variety of skin peels, including advanced Enerpeel, Obagi, Epionce and Medik8.

Superficial peels

Superficial skin peels act on the epidermis, which is the top layer of the skin. Typically, these peels will be left on your skin for just a few minutes, and will exfoliate the upper layer of the skin for a more gentle treatment to leave your skin smoother and glowy. There is less downtime with these types of skin peels, and as the results are less dramatic after one peel, we recommend an on-going treatment plan to maintain results.

Medium peels

Medium peels deepl exfoliate the skin, encouraging new cell growth, and increase collagen production for renewed, younger-looking, smoother skin. A solution is applied that works on the the top and slightly deeper layers of the skin. You may experience tingling and some redness for a few days after treatment. Examples of medium peels at sk:n include Jessner, pyruvic and salicylic acids.

Deep peels

Deep peels are recommended for more severe skin concerns such as deep facial wrinkles, heavy sun damage or acne scars, and give more dramatic longer-lasting results but often take longer for the skin to recover. Side effects include tingling, peeling, redness and swelling, which are normal.

Skin peels can improve a number of concerns including acne, acne scarring, sun damage, age spots, hyperpigmentation, the signs of ageing or uneven skin tone and texture. Depending on the skin peel, the recovery time can be minimal or take a little longer; having a deeper peel may mean that the skin takes a little longer to heal as typically there is more "peeling", but the results are more pronounced.

Skin peels are suitable for a lot of people and can treat a whole range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne and acne scarring, Age Spots (https://www.sculptedbykamila.com), enlarged pores, dark areas and sun-damaged skin. Chemical peels are ideal if you are looking to, quite literally, give your skin a fresh start, but suitability for a skin peel will depend on the nature or severity of the concern, orother factors, and your skin type can also determine the right skin peel for you. Book a consultation with one of our skin experts to discuss which skin peel is best for you.

Depending on your concern and the type of peel, chemical skin peels can be used on the face and body, including the delicate area around the eyes, face, hands, neck and d?(C)colletage.
