A chemical peel uses an active solution to lift away dull or damaged surface skin so that fresher skin comes through. Peels are used for skin that looks tired or uneven, for pigmentation and sun damage, for congestion and breakouts, and for fine lines. Microdermabrasion does a similar job by polishing the surface of the skin instead of using acids.
They range from gentle treatments that brighten the skin with little or no visible peeling, through to stronger medical peels. Our skin aestheticians carry out BioRePeel, the Obagi Blue Peel Radiance, the ZO peels, microdermabrasion and the pHformula treatments; the pHformula TCA Touch medical peel is done by Dr Drinnan. If you are not sure which would suit you, book a Skin Assessment Consultation and we will look at your skin and suggest one.
At Cheshire Lasers Clinic we currently offer the following Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion Treatments.

- TCA Touch Medical PeelOur strongest pHformula peel. TCA is normally an aggressive acid, but pHformula’s PH-DVC delivery complex carries it into the deeper layers to work there rather than damaging the surface.
- BioRePeel 35% TCAAn innovative medical peel that contains TCA for a more advanced result, but with minimal downtime and flaking. A quick treatment with instant results, suitable for all skin types.
- ZO Restorative PeelDr Obagi’s gentlest peel, for dull, dry or redness-prone skin and for sensitive skin that is also acne-prone. Lactic, citric and mandelic acids restore luminosity, texture and tone.
- pHformula Skin ResurfacingIn-clinic resurfacing that stimulates collagen and new skin cells for fresher, healthier skin while preserving the integrity of the epidermis.
- pHformula Oily and Congested Facial TreatmentFor oily, congested skin. An antibacterial, anti-inflammatory treatment that decongests and regulates oil production while keeping the skin hydrated. We start gently and go stronger as your skin allows.
- Obagi Blue Peel RadianceA gentle blend of salicylic, glycolic and lactic acid that exfoliates the surface layers for brighter, smoother, tighter-looking skin with little or no downtime. Usually taken as a course of four to six.
- pHformula CR Facial Treatment for RednessFor chronic redness and inflamed skin. A tailored treatment that calms redness, strengthens the capillary walls and smooths texture. We start gently and build up the strength as your skin allows.

- MicrodermabrasionOur medical-grade microdermabrasion treatment removes the stratum corneum to reduce the superficial signs of ageing and scarring. Repeated treatments at regular intervals may stimulate collagen.
- ZO Stimulator PeelsKnown in the States as the red carpet peel: gentle on the skin but strong enough to brighten and refresh the face, and chosen when there is no time to hide away afterwards.
