The Perfect Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel that combines powerful yet balanced ingredients such as TCA, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, vitamin C, kojic acid and glutathione. This unique blend works by penetrating the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate cell turnover, collagen production, and skin renewal.

Unlike superficial peels that mainly exfoliate the surface, The Perfect Peel targets pigmentation, fine lines, acne, acne scarring and uneven skin tone. Over the days following treatment, the skin sheds its outer layers, revealing brighter, smoother, clearer skin underneath.

A Standard Chemical Peel is typically a milder, more superficial chemical peel designed to gently exfoliate the top layers of the skin. It focuses on improving skin texture, dullness, mild congestion, and overall radiance, rather than deep correction.

The key difference is depth and intensity.

• A Standard Chemical Peel refreshes the skin with little to no downtime.

• The Perfect Peel works deeper and delivers more dramatic results, but involves visible peeling and recovery time.

Both are extremely effective — the best option depends on your skin concerns, goals, and lifestyle.

The Perfect Peel offers a wide range of skin-corrective benefits, including:

• Reduction of pigmentation and sun damage

• Improvement in fine lines and wrinkles

• Clearing of acne and congestion

• Softening of acne scars

• Brighter, more even skin tone

• Smoother skin texture

• Boosted collagen production

It’s particularly beneficial for clients who want noticeable transformation rather than a simple glow treatment.

A Standard Chemical Peel is ideal for maintaining healthy skin and improving its appearance gradually. Benefits include:

• Enhanced radiance and glow

• Smoother skin texture

• Reduced congestion and blocked pores

• Mild improvement in uneven tone

• Fresher, healthier-looking skin

It’s an excellent option for regular skin maintenance, first-time peel clients, or those who want visible improvement without downtime.

The Perfect Peel is best for clients who:

• Have pigmentation, melasma, sun damage, or acne scarring

• Are concerned about fine lines and early ageing

• Want stronger, longer-lasting results

• Are comfortable with 5–7 days of peeling and downtime

• Have previously had peels and want a more advanced treatment

It can be used on many skin types and tones, but a consultation is essential to ensure it’s appropriate for your skin.

A Standard Chemical Peel is ideal for clients who:

• Are new to chemical peels

• Want a gentle introduction to skin resurfacing

• Have minimal skin concerns

• Prefer little to no downtime

• Want a treatment that fits easily into a busy lifestyle

It’s also great as a maintenance treatment between stronger peels or other advanced skin procedures.

• The Perfect Peel: Peeling usually begins around day 3 and can last up to day 7. During this time, the skin may feel tight, dry, and visibly peel. Social downtime should be planned, and aftercare instructions must be followed carefully.

• The Standard Chemical Peel: Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness, tightness, or slight flaking, but most clients can return to normal activities immediately.

Results from The Perfect Peel can last several months, especially when supported with good skincare and sun protection. Many clients choose to have it 2–3 times per year for optimal results.

A Standard Chemical Peel provides shorter-term benefits and is best done as a regular treatment, often every 4–6 weeks, to maintain skin clarity and glow.

Sensitive skin doesn’t automatically rule out chemical peels, but it does mean treatment choice matters.

• Clients with sensitive or reactive skin often start with a Standard Chemical Peel to assess tolerance.

• The Perfect Peel may still be suitable for some sensitive skin types, but only after a thorough consultation and skin assessment with Julie first.

Customisation and correct aftercare are key to safe, successful results.

The best peel for you depends on:

• Your skin concerns

• Your skin type and sensitivity

• How much downtime you can allow

• Your desired results

• Whether this is your first peel or part of an ongoing skincare plan

A professional consultation with Julie ensures the correct peel is chosen, so you get safe, effective results tailored specifically to your skin. Julie offers chemical peels from both of her clinics in Newtownabbey (and sees many clients from Belfast and Carrickfergus nearby) and Comber (10 minutes from Newtownards).
