Chemical Peels
Chemical Peel Treatment in Inverness | Glow Medspa
Chemical peels are professional skin treatments designed to improve skin texture, tone and overall skin clarity. At Glow Medspa, a nurse-led aesthetic clinic in Inverness, chemical peels are used to support skin renewal and address a variety of common skin concerns.
A chemical peel works by applying a carefully formulated solution to the skin, which gently exfoliates the outer layers and stimulates cell turnover and skin regeneration. This process helps reveal fresher, healthier skin while supporting improvements in pigmentation, acne and early signs of ageing.
Chemical peels are widely used as non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatments and can be tailored to suit individual skin concerns.
At Glow Medspa we offer a range of medical-grade chemical peels from Obagi and Mesoestetic, allowing treatments to be customised depending on your skin needs.
What concerns can Chemical Peels treat?
Chemical peels may be recommended for patients experiencing:
• acne and breakouts
• acne scarring
• pigmentation and sun damage
• uneven skin tone
• dull or tired-looking skin
• fine lines and early wrinkles
• rough or uneven skin texture
Chemical peels are commonly used in treatment plans addressing pigmentation, acne and acne scarring, and dull or dehydrated skin.
How do Chemical Peels work?
Chemical peels use carefully selected exfoliating acids to remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate skin renewal.
This process helps:
• improve skin texture
• reduce pigmentation irregularities
• improve acne and congestion
• stimulate collagen production
• enhance overall skin clarity
The strength and depth of the peel can vary depending on the product used and the concerns being treated.
Chemical Peel Options at Glow Medspa
At Glow Medspa, chemical peels are carefully selected depending on your skin type, concerns and treatment goals.
Practitioner’s Choice Peel
If you are unsure which peel may be most suitable, Glow Medspa offers a Practitioner’s Choice chemical peel.
During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin and select the most appropriate peel for your individual concerns.
What happens during the appointment?
Your appointment will begin with a consultation at our Inverness aesthetic clinic to discuss your skin concerns and determine the most appropriate peel for your skin type.
The chemical peel solution is applied to the skin for a controlled period of time before being neutralised or removed.
The procedure typically takes 20–30 minutes.
Some patients may experience mild redness or skin sensitivity following treatment, depending on the type of peel used.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice improvements in skin brightness and texture within several days, although this varies depending on the type of peel used.
A course of 3–6 treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.
Maintenance treatments may be suggested depending on your skin concerns.
