Image Chemical Peels

Using carefully formulated acid blends, these peels help refine texture, brighten the complexion, and address a range of common skin concerns.

Image peels can be tailored to suit different skin types and concerns, including acne and congestion, pigmentation, dull or uneven skin tone, and early signs of ageing such as fine lines and loss of radiance. Treatment strength and formulation are selected following a full skin consultation to ensure suitability and safety.

These peels are suitable for all ethnicities and can be performed with minimal downtime when used at superficial levels. Skin preparation may be recommended depending on the peel selected and individual skin condition. Image peels can be incorporated into ongoing skin treatment plans or used alongside other aesthetic treatments where appropriate.

Duration of action: Results are typically maintained with monthly treatments, depending on peel type, skin condition, and treatment goals.

 

Pre-Treatment Advice

To support optimal results and reduce the risk of skin sensitivity or irritation, please follow the guidance below:

• Avoid active skincare ingredients for 3 days before and 3 days after treatment
• Active ingredients to avoid include:
  • Retinol / vitamin A derivatives
  • Salicylic acid
  • Glycolic acid and other exfoliating acids
  • Benzoyl peroxide
  • Vitamin C serums
• Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser only during this period
• Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning prior to treatment
• Inform your practitioner of any skin conditions, medications, or recent treatments during your consultation

 

What to Expect

Your Image Chemical Peel treatment will follow a structured, professional process:

• Double cleanse: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove impurities and prepare it for treatment.
• Skin preparation: Targeted pre-peel preparation to optimise results and ensure even application.
• Peel application: The chemical peel will be applied and left on the skin for 5–7 minutes, depending on your skin type, and treatment goals.
• Peel neutralisation: The peel is neutralised
• Face mask: A soothing mask will be applied after the peel to calm and hydrate the skin.
• Serums and SPF: Post-treatment, your skin will be treated with tailored serums and finished with SPF to protect and support recovery.

This procedure is designed to minimise downtime while maximising skin resurfacing benefits, leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and revitalised.

 

Post-Treatment Advice

To maintain results and support skin recovery after your Image Chemical Peel:

• Avoid active ingredients, including retinol, acids, benzoyl peroxide, and vitamin C, for 3 days after treatment
• Use gentle cleansers and moisturisers only during the recovery period
• Protect your skin from sun exposure and apply SPF daily
• Avoid hot showers, saunas, or vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours
• Avoid picking or exfoliating the skin; allow natural peeling or flaking to occur

Following these steps will help optimise results, reduce irritation, and maintain healthy, radiant skin.
