Controlled exfoliation,
real transformation

A chemical peel applies a precise acid solution to drive controlled exfoliation. Keratolysis loosens the bonds between surface skin cells, accelerates cellular turnover and triggers neocollagenesis in the dermis. At the correct depth, in the right hands, the change in skin quality, texture and tone is significant.

At Southdowns Skin Health we use two of the most respected medical grade peel ranges, mesoestetic and Obagi. mesoestetic is a Barcelona based pharmaceutical company whose mesopeel formulations are developed and manufactured to medical grade standards, with each acid selected for a specific clinical indication.

We also offer the Obagi Blue Radiance Peel, a superficial salicylic acid peel that brightens, smooths texture and decongests pores with very little downtime. It blends 20 percent salicylic acid with glycolic and lactic acids, plus soothing willow bark and licorice root. Depth is controlled layer by layer, so it is easily tailored, and it is an ideal first peel or a quick radiance boost before an event.

We do not run a generic protocol. Following your Observ520x assessment, Nicola selects the peel, acid, concentration and application technique by your indication and Fitzpatrick skin type. Alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids, trichloroacetic acid and targeted depigmenting formulations are matched to your skin, not chosen at random.

This is what separates a medical grade peel from a high street facial. Predictable depth, controlled action and consistent, measurable results.

Concerns We Address

A targeted peel
for every concern

Pigmentation & Melasma

mesopeel melanostop tranex and, for resistant melasma, the cosmelan and dermamelan depigmentation methods inhibit tyrosinase to interrupt melanogenesis. They fade sunspots, post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and stubborn melasma at source.

Acne & Oily Skin

Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, is lipophilic and penetrates the sebaceous follicle to clear congestion. mesopeel salicylic, mandelic and blemiskin formulations are keratolytic, anti inflammatory and regulate sebum to calm active breakouts and prevent new ones.

Ageing & Fine Lines

Glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, along with trichloroacetic acid and the mesopeel jessner pro formulation, drives neocollagenesis and accelerates turnover. Fine lines soften, skin density improves and a firmer, more luminous complexion is restored.

Uneven Texture & Pores

Rough texture, surface irregularity and enlarged pores respond well to controlled exfoliation. The keratolytic action of a correctly chosen peel refines the skin surface, revealing smoother, more even skin beneath.

Dullness & Lacklustre Skin

Even without a specific concern, a superficial lactic or glycolic peel delivers immediate radiance. It clears spent surface cells, stimulates renewal and leaves the complexion visibly brighter and more hydrated.

Rosacea & Redness

For sensitive and rosacea prone skin we use gentler protocols at low concentration, such as mandelic or azelaic formulations. Applied with care, they can reduce redness and build skin tolerance and resilience over a course.

Questions Answered

Frequently asked
questions

What is the difference between a medical grade peel and a salon peel?

Acid concentration and formulation in a medical grade mesopeel far exceed anything available outside a clinical setting, and the depth of action is correspondingly greater. A medical peel requires a full skin assessment beforehand and is applied with precise technique, timing and neutralisation by a trained clinician. The specificity of the formulation and the measurability of results are on a different level, as are the risks if a peel is applied incorrectly. This is precisely why clinical expertise matters.

Is there downtime after a peel?

It depends on the depth. Superficial peels produce minimal visible flaking and allow an immediate return to normal activity. Medium depth peels may produce visible peeling over several days. Nicola will tell you exactly what to expect from the peel she selects for your skin and time your course around your commitments.

How many peels do I need?

A single peel can produce a noticeable lift in radiance and texture. For more established concerns such as pigmentation, congestion or deeper lines, a course of three to six peels spaced two to four weeks apart is typically recommended, followed by maintenance treatments as part of an ongoing skin health plan.

Are peels suitable for all skin types?

With the right selection and application, chemical peels suit a wide range of skin types and tones. Careful assessment is essential, particularly for higher Fitzpatrick skin types where certain acids carry a greater risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Your Observ520x assessment lets Nicola match the acid, concentration and depth to your skin every time.
