About the treatment
A personalised approach to BHA peeling
A mild BHA peel is a chemical exfoliation treatment designed to clarify the skin, refine texture and improve the appearance of congestion, blemishes and enlarged pores.
Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) work within the pores to help loosen dead skin cells and excess oil, reducing the build-up that can contribute to congestion and uneven skin texture. The type and strength of BHA used will depend on your individual skin type, concerns and treatment goals.
BHA peels can be particularly beneficial for oily or blemish-prone skin, while also helping to improve the appearance of superficial pigmentation, photo damage and fine lines.
Your practitioner will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate peel and preparation before treatment.
How we approach it
Every chemical peel appointment begins with a consultation where your practitioner assesses your skin type, concerns, medical history, current skincare routine and treatment goals.
Your skin will then be prepared before the peel is carefully selected and applied according to your individual needs. We consider factors such as oiliness, congestion, sensitivity, pigmentation and previous treatments to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your skin.
Some patients may require a period of skin preparation before their peel to support a safe and effective treatment. Your practitioner will provide personalised advice on how to prepare your skin and what products to avoid.
Who it’s for
A Mild BHA Peel is a popular choice for adults looking to improve their overall skin quality, whether used as a standalone treatment or alongside a wider skincare or aesthetic treatment plan.
It is particularly popular with patients experiencing oily or congested skin, blemishes, enlarged pores or uneven texture. It can also help improve the appearance of superficial pigmentation, photo damage and early signs of ageing.
Your practitioner will assess your skin and recommend whether a BHA peel is the right option for your concerns and long-term skin goals.
A Mild BHA Peel is not recommended immediately before or after significant sun exposure, including holidays where you are likely to spend extended time in the sun. We recommend avoiding treatment for at least 4 weeks before and after a sunny holiday to allow your skin to recover and reduce the risk of pigmentation changes.

What to expect
Recovery, results & aftercare
Recovery
Mild redness, tightness or sensitivity may occur following treatment. Some patients experience light peeling over the following days as dead skin cells are removed. Your practitioner will provide personalised aftercare to support skin recovery.
Results
Skin can appear brighter, clearer and smoother within the first few days following treatment. Improvements in congestion, texture and overall skin quality can continue to develop as the skin renews. A course of treatments is often recommended for more noticeable and longer-lasting results. Your practitioner will advise on the most appropriate number and frequency of treatments based on your skin and concerns. Maintenance treatments can then help support your results over time.
Aftercare
Mild dryness or light peeling may occur for up to 2 days following treatment. Apply moisturiser regularly and use SPF 50 daily. Avoid makeup on the treated area for 24 hours. For 7 days, avoid exfoliants and active ingredients, including glycolic acid, salicylic acid and retinol. Avoid fake tan for 14 days and significant sun exposure or sunny holidays for at least 4 weeks.
