" Chemical peels can now erase certain signs of aging that only lasers could previously address. Today, peels are also being combined with laser treatments to maximize benefits and minimize downtime. - Put that exfoliator down - face peels are the new beauty heroes solving all your skincare concerns...!".
What Is It:
By using a controlled product the top layers of the skin can be removed, improving the appearance of skin that is dull, tired and lacking in good quality as well as being affected by age spots, sun damage, acne scarring and wrinkles. At Rosa B Aesthetics we use our innovative BioRePeelC13 treatment as well as industry favourites The Perfect Peel ® and The Perfect Peel ® Superblend.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE PERFECT PEEL® & THE PERFECT PEEL® SUPERBLEND?
If you are wanting an intense peel experience, The Perfect Peel® is a fantastic option – featuring the star ingredient, Phenol – it is a blend of active exfoliants, antioxidants, minerals and vitamins, including vitamin C, that look to target medium-depths of the skin and is administered by our Advanced Practitioners. Peeling begins on day 3 and is typically completed around days 7-10, with full results visible at day 28.
If you’re looking for a peel that is more potent than most in-clinic chemical peels, but not as intensive as The Perfect Peel® in visible downtime, The Perfect Peel® Superblend is for you. The Perfect Peel® Superblend is the UK’s first superficial to medium depth, medical-grade chemical peel to blend Glutathione with 8 acids and resorcinol to produce maximum results with minimal risks. It is also slightly less in price and can be performed by both our Advanced Practitioners and Skin Specialists. Mild peeling and flaking begins day 3-4, will complete around day 7, with full results at day 28. The Perfect Peel® Superblend brings a hybrid chemical peel to reach both medium and superficial depths in a single treatment, blowing individual peeling agents out of the water!
This blend of pigmentation inhibitors, antioxidants, hydrating agents, calming ingredients and anti-inflammatories, reduces risk and downtime leaving your skin feeling fresher from the inside out.

What To Expect During Treatment:
Chemical peels vary from very light to medium depth:
- Superficial – this peel uses Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) or Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA)at 10 – 20%. The solution is applied to the face and left on for a few minutes, removing the top layer of the skin (known as the epidermis). The skin may feel tight for a couple of hours afterwards and repeated treatments can ensure long term results.
- Medium peels – uses Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) at 35%. After a few minutes of the solution being applied to the face, the middle and top layers of skin will be removed. It will take a few hours for any sensitivity to subside and the face may be red for a few days, with several weeks before the skin returns to normal. Treatment may need repeating in 6 – 12 months.
The entire process usually takes under an hour to complete, and your Skin Care Professional will typically stay in the room to ensure there are no adverse reactions as it dries.
Depending on the peel, most people feel a warm sensation and tingling! The amount of tingling will vary based on the type of chemical peel you are receiving and will differ case to case (e.g. you might be more sensitive than another person getting the same peel).
Post procedure, some light redness can be expected but in general you can expect minimal discomfort during the session but may, however, depending on each individual’s skin tolerance, experience temporary redness once the procedure is over. Sensitivity to the area being treated could last up to 10 days.*

What Areas Can Be Improved & Results:
The Perfect Peel founds itself on a key anti-aging ingredient never before used in a peel: Glutathione. Glutathione is the ultimate antioxidant, penetrating deep into the cellular level of the skin to fight oxidant damage and is the anti-aging answer to premature wrinkling. Our bodies naturally produce glutathione but as we age, our levels deplete due to sun exposure, air pollutants, environmental stress and the aging process itself. Glutathione is also proven to reverse melanin’s metabolism, lightening dark pigmentations.
The Perfect Peel blends glutathione, kojic acid, TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and a blend of minerals and vitamins, including vitamin C. Kojic acid is a powerful lightening agent and proven to increase collagen and elastin production, resulting in skin that is brighter and tighter. TCA, phenol and retinoic acid reduce wrinkles and correct pigment problems, while salicylic acid exfoliates the skin and reduces inflammation. Alone the ingredients are powerful, but in combination they produce results that are astonishing. The powerful blend of ingredients work to reduce the appearance of open pores, remove dead skin cells, target blemishes, acne and pigmentation, and visibly smooth fine lines and wrinkles. The procedure is used all over the world to treat skin conditions such as fine line and wrinkles, acne, hyper-pigmentation and sun damage – the results can be life-transforming. Chemical peels can't remove deep scars or wrinkles or tighten sagging skin.
