Chemical Peels in Newcastle

Chemical peels are an effective, non-surgical treatment designed to improve skin texture, brighten the complexion and address a wide range of skin concerns. By gently exfoliating the outer layers of the skin, chemical peels encourage cell renewal and stimulate collagen production, revealing smoother, healthier and more radiant skin.

At DRS Clinic Newcastle, our experienced medical practitioners offer professional chemical peels tailored to your skin type and concerns, helping you achieve long-lasting improvements safely and effectively.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses carefully selected acids to exfoliate damaged skin cells and stimulate the production of fresh, healthy skin.

Depending on your skin concerns, different strengths and formulations can be used to target pigmentation, acne, fine lines, sun damage and uneven skin texture.

Every peel is selected specifically for your skin following a comprehensive consultation.

What Happens During Treatment?

Your appointment begins with a thorough skin consultation.

The skin is cleansed before the chosen peel is carefully applied. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during the treatment, which usually lasts around 30–45 minutes.

Once complete, your practitioner will apply soothing skincare and provide detailed aftercare advice.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery varies depending on the type and strength of peel used.

You may experience:

• Mild redness
• Tightness
• Dryness
• Flaking or peeling
• Increased sensitivity

These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days.

Following treatment we recommend:

• Wearing SPF 50 daily
• Avoiding direct sun exposure
• Keeping the skin well hydrated
• Avoiding active skincare ingredients until advised
• Not picking or peeling any flaking skin

When Will I See Results?

Many patients notice brighter, fresher skin within a few days.

Results continue to improve as the skin renews itself over the following weeks. A course of treatments may be recommended for concerns such as acne, pigmentation or melasma to achieve the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my skin peel?

Not always. Some superficial peels produce only mild flaking, while deeper peels may result in more noticeable peeling. Visible peeling is not necessary for the treatment to be effective.

Are chemical peels painful?

Most patients experience only a mild tingling or warming sensation during treatment, which settles quickly.

How many treatments will I need?

This depends on your skin concerns. While many patients notice improvement after one treatment, a course of 3–6 peels is often recommended for optimal results.

Can chemical peels be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Chemical peels are often combined with microneedling, medical-grade skincare and injectable skin rejuvenation treatments to achieve comprehensive skin improvement.
