Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are advanced skin treatments designed to improve skin texture, tone and overall clarity. By applying carefully selected medical-grade solutions to the skin, they work to gently exfoliate the outer layers, stimulating cell renewal and promoting a brighter, smoother and more even complexion.

 

This treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, acne, pigmentation and dull or uneven skin tone, helping to restore a healthier, more radiant appearance.

​

At Aspen Medical Aesthetics, we offer a range of clinically proven chemical peels, including Obagi Blue Peel Radiance and BioRePeel, selected for their safety, clinical effectiveness and ability to deliver natural-looking results.

 

Treatment choice is tailored to your individual skin concerns and goals. Whether you are looking for a gentle refresh or a more targeted treatment for specific concerns, your plan will be carefully selected to achieve optimal results while maintaining skin health.

​

At Aspen Medical Aesthetics in Bathgate, West Lothian, treatments are delivered by a qualified NMC-registered independent prescriber, with a strong focus on safety, precision and natural-looking outcomes.

 

All treatments are carried out following a comprehensive consultation and skin assessment to ensure suitability and the most appropriate treatment approach for your skin.

​

What to Expect

​

Treatment involves the application of a medical-grade chemical peel to the skin, which works to exfoliate and stimulate cell renewal. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during treatment, which is usually well tolerated.

​

A patch test may be required prior to treatment, depending on the peel selected, to ensure suitability and safety.

Following treatment, your skin may appear slightly red or feel tight, similar to mild sun exposure. Some peels may result in light flaking or peeling over the following days as the skin renews itself.

​

Over the following days and weeks, you will notice improvements in skin texture, tone and overall clarity, with a brighter and more refreshed appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Fine lines and early signs of ageing

• Acne and congestion

How many treatments will I need?
