Chemical Peel
Dr Hiba Injibar's Dermasurge clinic on the prestigious Harley Street in Central London provides the Chemical Peels treatment, a treatment that removes the top layer of the skin through a chemical process, leaving a refreshed-looking skin, and a smoothing of imperfections that were present before.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A Chemical Peel is a treatment method that involves exfoliating the skin using a chemical solution to eliminate the outer layers of damaged skin. The solution is usually applied to the skin for a few minutes, and then washed off.
The duration of the procedure depends on the strength of the solution. With lighter peels, only a few minutes is required, while deeper peels last up to 10-15 minutes.
Throughout the treatment, you may experience a warm sensation, typically diminishing within a few minutes.

What should I expect from the chemical peels appointment?
Here is what to expect during the chemical peel treatment:
- Initial consultation: You will undergo an initial consultation with a qualified medical professional, such as a dermatologist or aesthetician. They will assess your medical history, allergies, and any current medications you are using. Specific concerns and treatment goals will be discussed.
- Preparations: Before the chemical peel, the skin will be thoroughly cleansed to eliminate and makeup, oils, or debris. In certain cases, a pre-peel solution might be applied to prepare the skin for the procedure.
- Application: The medical professional will administer the chemical solution to the face, neck, or hands, depending on the targeted area. The strength and type of the chemical peel will be tailored to the patient's skin type and goals of the treatment. The solution remains on the skin for the designated period, typically ranging from 5 to 15 minutes.
- Sensation: Throughout the treatment, patients may experience a burning or stinging sensation on the skin, which usually diminishes after the solution is removed.
- Neutralisation: Once the predetermined time has elapsed, a neutralising agent is used to remove the chemical solution, halting the chemical reaction on the skin.
Aftercare following the treatment
Following the procedure, individuals may encounter redness, peeling, or flaking of the skin lasting only a few days to a week, depending on the intensity of the chemical peel.
It is recommended to avoid sun exposure during this period, and patients are encouraged to apply a non-irritating, hypoallergenic moisturiser to alleviate the skin.
