Chemical peels have been a beauty staple for decades, and they’re one of our go-to glow-up favourites here at Laserlux Spa Surrey. Unlike basic exfoliation, which only brushes away surface dead skin cells, chemical peels dive deeper, targeting layers beneath to truly transform your complexion.
At Laserlux Spa in Surrey, we use The Perfect Derma Peel, a chemical peel fan favourite known for delivering real, visible results safely and effectively.
A chemical peel is a gentle but intensive exfoliation treatment that works by applying a carefully formulated solution to your skin. This solution contains powerhouse ingredients like retinol, salicylic acid, and vitamin C, all designed to target a range of skin concerns. Whether you’re dealing with sun damage, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, uneven texture, large pores, or signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles, chemical peels boost cell turnover and reveal fresher, brighter, smoother skin.
The peel works by carefully dissolving your skin’s dull, damaged outer layers. By getting rid of those thin layers of dead cells and buildup that make your skin look dull and uneven, we encourage the growth of fresh, youthful skin in its place.
Your session will last about 45 minutes and is generally a painless experience with minimal downtime. The treatment starts with a deep cleanse, followed by an application of the Perfect Derma Peel solution. Some patients will feel a mild tingling or stinging sensation. Don’t worry. This is totally normal and a sign that the peel is working. We’ll give you a cooling fan to help calm the skin and keep you comfortable throughout the process. The entire application only takes about 15 minutes, after which you can relax and let the peel do its magic.
Starting around day three, you’ll likely notice visible peeling as your skin naturally sheds its old, dull layers. Depending on your skin type, this peeling can last up to a week, but it’s important to let this process happen gently and naturally. Avoid picking or forcing flakes off, as premature peeling can cause irritation or uneven results.
We recommend staying hydrated, skipping makeup, avoiding direct sun exposure, and steering clear of vigorous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating during this time. This little bit of extra TLC helps your skin heal and maximizes the peel’s benefits.
The frequency of chemical peels depends on your skin and the type of peel. For lighter peels, most people benefit from scheduling a peel every 4 to 6 weeks. This frequency aligns well with your skin’s natural renewal cycle and keeps your complexion looking fresh. Deeper peels targeting more stubborn concerns like deep wrinkles, acne scarring, or severe hyperpigmentation should be spaced out every 3 to 6 months.
If you’re curious about chemical peels or wonder if they’re right for your skin concerns, we’re here to help. Reach out to the Laserlux Spa team in Surrey for a friendly consultation and let us guide you toward the best treatment plan for your glow goals.

know before you book your peel so you feel confident, informed, and ready to glow.
A chemical peel is a popular skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a gentle acid solution to exfoliate the top layer of skin. It might sound intense, but it's totally manageable, and the results are worth it.
Chemical peels are amazing for treating dullness, uneven texture, acne scars, sun spots, and fine lines.
Not really! You might feel a slight tingling or warmth when the solution is applied, but most people find it totally tolerable. And lighter peels are especially gentle if you want to start small!
Maybe, maybe not. Some people experience light flaking or peeling over a few days, like after a sunburn, while others don’t visibly peel at all.
It depends on the strength of the peel. Light peels usually come with zero downtime. You might have a little redness, but that's it. Medium peels can involve a few days of peeling, while deeper peels may need a week or more to heal fully.
Within a week of a light peel, your skin will look fresher and more radiant. Deeper peels take a little longer to heal, but you'll see a big difference once your skin has settled, usually within two to three weeks.
For light peels, every 4–6 weeks is a great rhythm for maintaining results. Medium or deeper peels need more time between treatments. We'll help you build a plan that works for your skin goals.
Yes, in most cases. However, everyone's skin is different, and people with darker skin tones or certain sensitivities may need a more customized approach.
Keep things simple. Stay moisturized, wear SPF daily, and avoid harsh products, scrubs, or exfoliants for a few days. Your skin will be more sensitive post-peel, so give it lots of TLC.
With lighter peels, you may be able to start wearing makeup again after 48 hours, but we suggest waiting at least a week, especially after a medium or deep peel. Let your skin breathe and do its thing.
While at-home peels can be okay for light exfoliation, they don't deliver the same results as a professional treatment and carry more risk if misused.
