At The Heath Clinic, we believe a chemical peel should be selected according to your skin rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Our professional skin peels include Gel Peel GL, MicroPeel and Pigment Balancing Peel, allowing treatment to be tailored to concerns ranging from dullness and uneven texture to breakouts, sun damage and pigmentation.
Whether you are new to chemical peels or looking for a more targeted approach to an established skin concern, we assess your complexion first and select the peel most appropriate for your skin.
Professional chemical peels use carefully selected exfoliating solutions to remove dead surface skin cells and encourage skin renewal. Depending on the peel selected, treatment can help improve texture, radiance, pigmentation, congestion and visible signs of ageing.
At The Heath Clinic, we offer different SkinCeuticals professional peel options rather than treating every complexion with the same formulation.
Gel Peel GL is a gentle, entry-level peel containing glycolic and lactic acids. It provides controlled exfoliation while supporting hydration, making it particularly useful for dullness, dryness, uneven texture, breakouts and early signs of photodamage.
MicroPeel is a customisable, multi-step resurfacing treatment designed to exfoliate dead surface skin cells and improve clarity, texture and tone. Different peel solutions can be selected according to the skin being treated.
Pigment Balancing Peel is a more targeted peel designed for visible pigmentation and photodamage. It combines exfoliating acids with brightening ingredients to help improve uneven pigmentation and create a clearer, more even-looking complexion.
At The Heath Clinic, your skin is assessed before treatment so that we can determine which peel is most appropriate for your concerns.
Our professional skin peels can be used to improve a number of common skin concerns, including:
The results and level of exfoliation will depend on the peel selected. Some patients may benefit from a gentler treatment focused on refreshing the complexion, while more established pigmentation or photodamage may require a more targeted approach.
Every skin peel at The Heath Clinic begins with an assessment of your complexion. This allows us to consider your skin type, current condition, concerns and existing skincare before selecting the most appropriate treatment.
For patients who are new to professional peels or whose skin requires gentler exfoliation, Gel Peel GL may be considered. Its combination of glycolic and lactic acids exfoliates while the lactic acid component also supports hydration.
MicroPeel provides a more customisable approach. The treatment can be adapted using different exfoliating solutions according to concerns such as dullness, uneven texture, fine lines, enlarged-looking pores and pigmentation.
Where visible pigmentation, sun damage or uneven tone is the main concern, Pigment Balancing Peel provides a more targeted option. Because pigmentation can have different causes and occur at different depths within the skin, we assess it carefully before recommending treatment.
Your wider skincare routine is also considered as part of your plan, allowing professional exfoliation and appropriate home skincare to work together.
Professional peels can improve the skin you see at the surface, but maintaining those improvements also depends on how the complexion is supported between treatments.
Following your peel, we can recommend a personalised medical-grade skincare routine based on your individual concerns and the type of peel performed.
Sun protection is particularly important. Freshly exfoliated skin can be more sensitive to UV exposure, and inadequate protection can increase the risk of unwanted pigmentation. Daily broad-spectrum SPF should therefore form an important part of your routine.
Depending on your skin, a peel may be performed as an individual treatment or as part of a course. Different peels may also have different roles within a longer-term skin plan as your complexion and priorities change.
The aim is to select the level of exfoliation your skin needs rather than simply choosing the strongest peel available.
Every professional skin peel begins with a personalised assessment at our Hampstead clinic. Your skin will be evaluated and your current skincare discussed before we select an appropriate peel.
The skin is carefully prepared before the selected peel solution is applied. You may experience tingling, warmth or a mild stinging sensation while the solution is on the skin. The intensity will vary depending on the peel performed and your individual skin response.
Following treatment, the skin may appear brighter and smoother. Temporary redness, dryness, tightness or flaking can occur as the skin renews, with the amount depending on the treatment selected.
Your practitioner will explain what to expect from your specific peel and provide appropriate aftercare advice, including when to restart active skincare.
Careful sun protection is particularly important following treatment. Where a course of peels is recommended, the frequency and number of treatments will be tailored to your skin and the peel being used.
At The Heath Clinic, we take a holistic, full-face approach to skin health.
Whether you are concerned about dullness, uneven texture, breakouts, sun damage or visible pigmentation, our professional skin peels provide different levels of exfoliation that can be matched to your individual complexion.
At The Heath Clinic, your skin is assessed before treatment so that we can determine whether Gel Peel GL, MicroPeel or Pigment Balancing Peel is most appropriate and how professional exfoliation should fit into your wider skincare plan.

This depends on your skin type, current skin condition and primary concerns. Gel Peel GL provides a gentler introduction to professional exfoliation, MicroPeel offers a customisable approach to texture, tone and clarity, while Pigment Balancing Peel is more specifically targeted towards pigmentation and photodamage. Your skin will be assessed before we recommend a treatment.
Gel Peel GL is a SkinCeuticals professional peel containing 20% glycolic acid and 10% lactic acid. It provides gentle exfoliation and can be considered for concerns including dullness, dryness, breakouts, photodamage, fine lines and uneven texture.
SkinCeuticals MicroPeel is a customisable, multi-step professional exfoliating treatment. It removes dead surface skin cells and uses an appropriate chemical peel solution to help improve concerns including uneven texture and tone, enlarged-looking pores, fine lines, pigmentation and overall skin clarity.
Pigment Balancing Peel is a more targeted SkinCeuticals professional peel for concerns including hyperpigmentation, photodamage and uneven skin tone. It combines exfoliating acids with brightening ingredients including vitamin C and emblica.
This depends on the peel performed and your individual skin response. Temporary redness, dryness or flaking can occur following chemical exfoliation. Your practitioner will explain the expected recovery for the peel selected before treatment.
This depends on the peel and the concerns being addressed. Some patients may benefit from an individual treatment to refresh the complexion, while concerns such as persistent pigmentation, photodamage or uneven texture may be better addressed with a course. Your practitioner will recommend an appropriate treatment schedule following your assessment.
