Chemical peels are classified as superficial, medium or deep, depending on the depth of penetration of the ingredients used. Superficial peels exfoliate to various levels of the epidermis. Medium-depth peels treat through the papillary dermis and deep peels to the mid-reticular dermis. We offer a selection of superficial to medium depth peels known for their excellent results and safety profile.

FIVE COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT FACIAL PEELS AT FOX MEDICAL AESTHETICS
What is a facial peel, and how does it work?
A facial peel is a skincare treatment designed to improve the appearance and texture of the skin by exfoliating the outermost layers. The treatment uses a chemical solution to remove dead skin cells, stimulate collagen production, and promote skin renewal. Peels can address concerns like fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.
What types of facial peels are available?
There are three main types of peels:
Light Peels: These use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) to gently exfoliate the skin, perfect for a quick refresh.
Medium Peels: These penetrate deeper to target moderate skin issues like fine lines and uneven pigmentation.
Deep Peels: These are more intensive and address significant skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles and scars, often requiring downtime.
We will be able to advise and recommend the most suitable peel based on your skin type and goals.
What are the benefits of facial peels?
Facial peels offer a wide range of benefits, including:
Smoother, brighter skin
Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Improved texture and tone
Minimized acne scars and hyperpigmentation
Enhanced absorption of skincare products
Regular treatments can help maintain youthful, radiant skin.
What should I expect during and after a facial peel?
During the treatment, you may feel a tingling or slight stinging sensation as the peel solution works on your skin. The procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the peel type.
After the peel, your skin may be slightly red or sensitive, and you may experience some peeling or flaking as the dead skin sheds. Recovery times vary: light peels have minimal downtime, while medium and deep peels may require a few days to a week of recovery.
Are facial peels safe for everyone?
Facial peels are generally safe, but they may not be suitable for everyone. People with sensitive skin, active infections, or certain medical conditions should consult their practitioner before treatment.
At Fox Medical Aesthetics we conduct a thorough consultation, including using an advanced skin analysis machine, determine your skin type and recommend the best peel for your needs. Safety and effectiveness are our top priorities.

A single chemical peel can provide the immediate effect of bright and radiant skin. However, more significant results in treating textural issues, fine lines and inflamed acne take time. We offer a course of treatments to enable you to achieve your optimal skin health and reveal beautiful radiant skin. We believe in repeated treatments for progressive and gradual results, and to avoid the side effects and downtime associated with deeper peels.
