Their products are suitable for sensitive skin without compromising efficacy.

Chemical peels can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation, and blemishes with less discomfort and downtime than laser. A 40-minute treatment with our therapist can visibly rejuvenate skin to provide a softer, smoother, more youthful-looking complexion. A course of peels are recommended for best results the number required depends on your skin type, tone, and condition.
Before starting a course of peels you will need a consultation ideally 2 weeks or more weeks before your first treatment. We will assess your skin and recommend a treatment program depending on the areas you want to be treated, your skin type, tone, and concerns. We will make sure you have no contraindications ( see below **) and perform a patch test.
It is important to consider skin preparation and after-care so you can plan your treatments.
You will need to prepare your skin for at least 2 weeks before your peel to achieve the best results from your treatment. As a minimum we recommend the following products:
Skin types 4-6 will require an additional preparation product which will be advised during consultation. (*** See below)

At Cheshire Lasers, we have a Dermagenesis machine it delivers a medical-grade Microdermabrasion treatment. Unlike treatments in beauty salons, we are able to remove the entire layer of the stratum corneum if needed. This procedure can be performed on the face, chest, neck, arms or hands.
This enables us to treat various skin conditions as well as improve the appearance of your skin.
Microdermabrasion is when tiny rough grains are used to buff away the top surface layer of skin. Many different products and treatments use this method, including medical procedures, salon treatments and creams and scrubs that you apply yourself at home.
The skin consists of two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the layer closest to the outside world. It’s a set of dead skin cells on top of another layer of cells that are in the process of maturing. The topmost layer acts as a barrier between the outside world and the lower skin layers. It keeps all but the smallest molecules from getting through.
With Microdermabrasion you remove or break up the stratum corneum, the body interprets that as a mild injury and rushes to replace the lost skin cells with new and healthy ones. In the first hour after treatment, this causes mild oedema (swelling) and erythema (redness). Depending on the individual, these side effects can last anywhere from an hour to two days.
This process improves the skin’s surface, and the healing process brings with it newer skin cells that look and feel smoother. The skin’s visible imperfections, from sun damage, blemishes and fine lines, are removed. Also, without the stratum corneum acting as a barrier, medicinal creams and lotions are more effective because more of their active ingredients and moisture can find their way down to the lower layers of skin.
Studies suggest that repeated microdermabrasion treatment at regular intervals may influence the way the lower layers of skin grow, as well, as removing deeper blemishes over time. Some evidence seems to indicate that the rapid loss of skin moisture may be what triggers the lower skin layers to work overtime in speeding healthy cells up to the surface.
The procedure is not very painful and requires no anaesthetic. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin but is less effective with sunken scars.
Microdermabrasion can be used for the treatment of acne, pigmentation and for anti-ageing but must be repeated periodically to be effective.
For best results, we recommend you use our Agera skin care products.
We recommend you use the Agera recovery cream and an SPF protection as a minimum.
Using the Agera Mag C serum will help stimulate new collagen production and enhance the results.
Should you have any specific skin problems such as acne or pigmentation please arrange a consultation with one of our Aestheticians who will be able to recommend the most appropriate skin care regime to use alongside your treatments.

The Perfect Peel is a revolutionary peel that will transform your skin into looking younger, healthier and clearer in just one week. The Perfect Peel can be used on all skin types and requires no pre-peel skin preparation. The process takes less than 15 minutes and is virtually pain-free. It can be performed only by a trained medical practitioner.
The Perfect Peel founds itself on a key anti-ageing ingredient never before used in a peel: Glutathione.
It contains 5 acids blended with vitamins, minerals and Glutathione.
Glutathione is the ultimate antioxidant, penetrating deep into the cellular level of the skin to fight oxidant damage and is the anti-ageing 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 ageing process itself. Evidence shows Glutathione reverses melanin’s metabolism, lightening dark pigmentations.
Glutathione is a very simple molecule which we produce naturally all the time in our bodies. It is derived from glycine, glutamic acid and cystine and is extremely beneficial to us. Glutathione is used as an alternative to hydroquinone, as it appears to behave in a similar way, if not better. However it does not have all the potential side effects that can occur with hydroquinone.
Glutathione protects the cells in our body from harmful toxins. It works by clearing the body of free radicals and toxins that can lead to skin problems like hyperpigmentation and melasma, as well as more common concerns like sun or age spots. Through its ability to protect our cells from those same free radicals, skin lightening is a side effect.
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.
Salicylic Acid exfoliates the skin and reduces inflammation.
Alone the ingredients are powerful, but in combination, they produce results that are astonishing.
The skin is first degreased using alcohol or acetone. The Perfect Peel is then applied and left on the skin for 6-8 hours, it is then washed off, or left on the skin overnight.
Your specialist will give you an individual home treatment pack. This pack contains retinol wipes and a Vitamin C moisturiser to assist the peeling process and enhance your results.
For ‘normal’ skin you may consider a Perfect Peel treatment 2-3 times a year. For more stubborn conditions you may require The Perfect Peel at monthly intervals to achieve the results you require. A series of 2-3 treatments applied once every 4 weeks will allow for optimal results for more severe skin conditions such as Melasma and active acne.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Allergic to aspirin.
Have active herpes (cold sores) or infected lesions.
Have used Roaccutane 3 months prior to treatment
You may feel a slight stinging or tingling sensation during the application of the peel. This will subside after just a few seconds as the area numbs a little. We can apply a cooling fan to aid your comfort.
Expect some redness post-treatment, like a sunburn, which is temporary and normal, and the skin may also be slightly swollen and may itch for a few days following treatment. Your skin will slough off in thin sheets of epidermal skin that begins around day three and generally is completed by day six or seven. The use of the at-home products and moisturisers will help with skin hydration.
You can apply make-up 8 hours after treatment.
Your skin will feel sensitive for about a week.
You Must Avoid Sun Exposure.
Your medical practitioner will discuss these potential side effects in a consultation.

ZO Stimulator Peel is gentle on the skin but strong enough to make a visible difference, brightening and refreshing the face for a youthful, dewy look. This peel is known in the USA as the ‘Red Carpet Peel’ owing to the number of celebrities that have the Peel before they have to look picture perfect for red carpet events and can’t afford to hide away with the redness of flaking that some strong peels cause.
The ZO Skin Health Stimulator Peel includes a combination of three different acids plus potent concentrations of other active ingredients to exfoliate the skin, stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin and reduce wrinkles. As a result, the ZO Stimulator Peel is a highly effective way to treat signs of ageing, discolouration and UV damage.
This peel comprises a combination of lactic, citric and salicylic acids plus potent concentrations of other active ingredients to exfoliate the skin, stimulate the growth of collagen and elastin and reduce lines, wrinkles and other blemishes.
Your skin will be cleansed using the appropriate cleanser from the ZO range to remove any makeup or oil. This is followed by ZO Exfoliating Polish and Polish Activator and ZO Peel Prep Solution to prepare the skin for the Peel.
The Stimulator Peel is then applied and left on for two to four minutes before it is neutralised with pads soaked in Peel Neutraliser, which restores the skin’s Ph balance after the acids in the peel. The appropriate products are applied if you have a Brightening or Hydrating Medical Peel. The final step is using ZO Daily Power Defence moisturising serum and ZO Ommerse Renewal Cream to hydrate and protect your skin.
The active Peel solution causes the superficial layer of the skin to peel off and may cause slight initial reddening. However, the treatment exposes a new layer of healthy, undamaged skin, resulting in a smoother texture and even skin tone.
This peel is recommended for adults concerned with skin ageing, sun damage and hyperpigmentation or anyone wishing to have a rejuvenating boost to the skin.
We do not recommend the peel for those who are:
You do not need to perform any preparation or use any specific skin care before the ZO Stimulator Peel. However, you will get better results if you use some ZO products before the treatment.
The treatment will take about 45 minutes.
You will notice results immediately, and skin will be fresher, glowing and with an improved texture and tone. We recommend a course of treatments for optimum results.
Unlike stronger chemical peels during which you may feel discomfort, the Stimulator Peel is not painful and involves no downtime. You may experience a mild warming sensation briefly whilst the peel is applied. There may be slight initial reddening of the skin, followed by limited peeling a day or two later. For special events, the Peel is ideal to have three days before.
Most people will see a dramatic improvement in their skin after just one peel. However, we recommend a course of 3 to 4 Peels, 4-6 weeks apart, for maximum benefit.
Ideally, every four months or before special events.
An additional ZO Mask can be added to your Stimulator Peel to enhance the results for your skin. If you opt for one of these, your treatment time will be 10 minutes longer :
Other ZO Hydra massage gel and mask ingredients make this ideal for dry, dehydrated or weak skin.
A ZO Brightening mask and a brightening massage cream make this ideal for sun-damaged skin with age spots and pigmentation.
Containing eucalyptus and kaolin for antiseptic and detoxifying benefits.
At Cheshire Lasers, our Level 4 Laser Technician and Aestheticians perform the ZO Stimulator Peels and offer ZO Skincare advice.
We recommend you book a skin consultation and analysis before booking your treatment so they can determine the most appropriate peel for your skin.
