At The Brentwood Skin Clinic we offer a combination of superficial to medium depth peels designed to improve even the most challenging of skin types.

Superficial skin peels improve skin imperfections with little or no downtime. These are sometimes referred to as ‘Party peels’ or ‘Red carpet peels’. These treatment are popular for those seeking a skin boosting treatment without the want for time off work. Brands used in clinic include Obagi, IMAGE and PCA peels.

Medium depth peels are designed to transform skin over a relatively short period of time.These peels are more intensive and may require some degree of ‘downtime’ but can be very effective at treating acne, hyperpigmentation skin conditions and wrinkles/textural concerns. Please note that some of these peels will require skin preparation beforehand. Popular peels/brands used in clinic include Obagi, ZO, Mesoestetic, Cosmelan, PCA peels.
