Resurface the skin to improve tone, texture and clarity
At TE Clinic South London (Traitements Esthétiques), our medical-grade chemical peels gently resurface the skin to improve tone, texture and clarity. Performed by Aida, our Clinical Pharmacist, our treatments tailored to individual skin needs, including pigmentation, acne, fine lines, and uneven tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the potential side effects?
Common: transient redness, dryness, flaking, mild stinging or light breakout purge.Less common: post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (higher risk with sun exposure), cold-sore reactivation (if prone).Rare: infection, prolonged irritation or scarring. Our medical team follows evidence-based protocols and will advise you promptly if anything needs attention.
How many sessions will I need and how soon will I see results?
Many clients notice a fresher look within 7–10 days of the first peel. For texture, tone and clarity, a course of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart usually delivers the best, most lasting results, with maintenance peels as advised.
Are chemical peels suitable for sensitive or darker skin tones?
Yes—when appropriately selected and performed, peels can be tailored for a wide range of skin types and tones. We adjust peel strength/ingredients and aftercare to minimise downtime and reduce the risk of pigmentation changes. Consistent SPF is essential.
