Medical Grade Peels & Skincare

What are Medical Grade Peels & Skincare at Skin Essential Clinic?

At Skin Essential Clinic, our approach to skin health integrates advanced Chemical Peels with professional Medical Grade Skincare to achieve transformative results. This clinical category focuses on accelerated exfoliation and cellular stimulation to address concerns such as hyperpigmentation, active acne, redness-prone skin, rosacea and premature ageing. By utilising pharmaceutical-grade active ingredients, we can precisely target dermal concerns that over-the-counter products cannot reach, resulting in a clearer, more luminous, and structurally refined complexion.

How Medical Grade Skincare & Chemical Peels Work

The process begins with the application of a bespoke chemical solution to the skin, which meticulously dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells. This encourages the shedding of damaged surface layers and stimulates the underlying regenerative processes. When paired with a tailored Medical Grade Skincare regimen, the skin is continuously supported with high-concentration antioxidants, retinoids, and peptides. This synergy ensures that the results of your clinical peel are maintained and enhanced at home, promoting long-term skin health and resilience.

BioRePeel

BioRePeel is an innovative, biphasic clinical peel that provides significant revitalisation without the downtime traditionally associated with high-strength acids. It utilises a patented formula to bypass the superficial layers of the skin, delivering its exfoliating and stimulating ingredients directly to the dermis. This treatment is designed to help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and manage acne-prone skin, making it an excellent "no-peel" option for patients at Skin Essential Clinic who require clinical results with minimal social disruption.

Obagi Medical

Obagi Medical is a world-renowned leader in skin transformation, particularly for those addressing complex concerns like melasma and deep-set solar damage. By utilising prescription-strength ingredients and advanced delivery technologies, Obagi systems work at a cellular level to correct skin function and "transform" the complexion from within. At Skin Essential Clinic, we incorporate Obagi into our treatment plans for patients who require a robust, clinically-proven approach to evening skin tone and improving overall skin clarity.

AlumierMD Peels & Skincare

The AlumierMD range represents the pinnacle of "clean science," offering customisable peels and homecare products that are free from synthetic fragrances and parabens. These medical-grade formulations utilise a unique delivery system to ensure active ingredients remain stable and effective as they penetrate the skin. Whether addressing stubborn pigmentation or sensitive skin conditions, AlumierMD protocols at Skin Essential Clinic provide a highly personalised experience that refines the skin's surface while strengthening its natural barrier function.

AllSkinMed

AllSkinMed provides a high-performance dermatological range designed to protect, repair, and stimulate the skin. Centred around patented technologies like SCA Pro (growth factor secretion) and Cantabria Labs' innovative complexes, these products are specifically formulated to support the skin before and after clinical procedures. Integrating AllSkinMed into your routine at Skin Essential Clinic ensures your skin is optimally prepared for professional treatments and receives the necessary cellular signals to repair environmental damage and maintain a youthful, firm appearance.

Practitioner & Safety Note

All clinical treatments at Skin Essential Clinic are subject to a comprehensive face-to-face consultation. Chemical peels may not be suitable for those with certain skin conditions or those who are pregnant. Results vary between individuals, and a commitment to the prescribed homecare regimen is essential for achieving the desired clinical outcome.

    • Will my skin actually peel? While some treatments like BioRePeel involve minimal flaking, others may cause visible peeling for 3 to 7 days. This is a normal part of the regenerative process.

    • Is the treatment painful? Most patients experience a warm, tingling, or itching sensation during the application, which typically subsides once the peel is neutralised.

    • How often should I have a peel? For corrective results, a course of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is usually recommended.

    • Why can’t I just use high-street skincare? Medical-grade products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients and advanced delivery systems that can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, whereas high-street products are generally limited to the epidermis.

    • Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every morning, as the skin will be more sensitive to UV light.

    • Use only the recommended gentle cleanser and moisturiser for the first 5 to 7 days.

    • Do not pick, pull, or scrub any peeling skin, as this can lead to scarring or hyperpigmentation.

    • Avoid direct heat (saunas, hot showers) and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
