Chemical Peels
Transform Dull Skin into a Radiant Complexion
Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels are advanced skin resurfacing treatments available at Brow Envy in Plymouth, designed to improve skin tone, texture and overall complexion. Whether you’re looking to soften fine lines, reduce pigmentation, improve acne-prone skin or simply achieve a fresher, more radiant glow, every treatment is tailored to your individual skin concerns and goals.
Using carefully selected professional-grade peels, our experienced therapists create personalised treatment plans to deliver effective results while protecting the health and integrity of your skin.
What to Expect
Your appointment begins with a thorough skin consultation to assess your concerns, discuss your goals and determine the most suitable chemical peel for your skin.
After cleansing the skin, the peel solution is carefully applied and left in place for a controlled period. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during treatment, which is completely normal. Once complete, soothing products are applied to calm and protect the skin.
Treatment times typically range from 60 to 75 minutes depending on the peel selected. Some peels require little to no downtime, while stronger peels may result in several days of visible peeling as your skin naturally renews itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses specially formulated acids to gently exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This controlled process encourages natural cell turnover, revealing fresher, healthier-looking skin beneath while stimulating collagen production for continued improvement over time.
What skin concerns can Chemical Peels treat?
Chemical Peels can improve a wide range of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne, acne scarring, pigmentation, melasma, sun damage, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores and dull skin. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the most suitable peel for your skin.
Are there different types of Chemical Peels?
Yes. Chemical Peels vary in strength, from gentle superficial peels that refresh the complexion to medium-depth treatments that target more advanced pigmentation, acne scarring and signs of ageing. Your therapist will recommend the most appropriate option based on your skin and desired results.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
To achieve the best results, avoid excessive sun exposure, retinol products and harsh exfoliants for around one week before your appointment. Arrive with clean skin where possible, and let your therapist know about any medications or active skincare products you’re currently using.
What happens during the treatment?
After cleansing your skin, the peel solution is carefully applied and monitored throughout the treatment. You may notice a mild tingling or warming sensation before the peel is neutralised or removed. The treatment is then completed with calming, protective skincare.
What aftercare should I follow?
Following your treatment, it’s important to keep your skin well hydrated and protected with a broad-spectrum SPF every day. Avoid picking any peeling skin and refrain from using exfoliating products, retinol or active ingredients until advised by your therapist.
When will I see results?
Many clients notice brighter, fresher skin within a few days following a superficial peel. For concerns such as pigmentation, acne scarring or fine lines, improvements develop gradually over a course of treatments as collagen production and skin renewal continue.
How often should I have a Chemical Peel?
The frequency depends on the type of peel and your skin goals. Gentle peels can often be repeated every four to six weeks, while stronger treatments require longer intervals between sessions. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your skin and desired results.
