Acids are applied to the skin under the expert supervision of our skin therapists, to lower the PH. This loosens the connections between dead skin cells, including exfoliation and stimulating new cell growth. This process causes superficial layers of the skin to peel off, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Most beneficial ingredients for the skin tend to degrade or denature when placed in the low pH of chemical peel formulas. With that scientific information in mind, AlumierMD peels use only the pure acids; anti-ageing, antioxidant and brightening booster ingredients are applied post-peel in our Brightening Accelerator- keeping all components effective.
As peels remove the outer dead layers of the skin, the booster ingredients are better absorbed when applied post-peel. Our multilayer process is customised according to your skin profile and concerns. We can also tailor your facial peel to suit your personal skin requirements and social commitments.

Medical-Grade Chemical Peels in Nottingham
Are you struggling with a dull, uneven complexion, stubborn hyperpigmentation, active acne, or early signs of structural skin ageing? Welcome to advanced dermatological skin resurfacing.
Medical-grade chemical peels represent a profound scientific leap over basic, abrasive high-street facial scrubs. Operating from our doctor-led Mapperley clinic, we prescribe customised, clinically proven chemical peels that safely dismantle cellular damage and optimise your skin health from within. Rather than scratching your skin barrier, these sophisticated clinical formulas work at a cellular level to reveal a smooth, clear, and radically luminous skin matrix.

Because no two skin profiles are structurally identical, our medical practice rejects generic, "one-size-fits-all" beauty treatments. We customise our clinical chemical peels using advanced, single-source or blended cosmeceutical acids:
The Lipophilic Acne Clearer (Salicylic Acid): Perfect for active acne, blackheads, and oily skin congestion. Because Salicylic Acid is a Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA), it is uniquely lipophilic (oil-loving). It bypasses surface water to travel deep within your lipid-filled pores, dissolving hardened sebum and exerting a powerful anti-inflammatory, comedolytic effect inside the oil gland.
The Deep Hydration Resurfaced (Lactic & Glycolic Acid): Ideal for sun-damaged skin, dry complexions, and fine lines. These Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) sweep away surface debris while acting as natural humectants, pulling moisture deep into the fresh epidermal layers to instantly plum and smooth texture.
The Melanin-Safe Brightener (Mandelic Acid): Formulated specifically for sensitive or dark skin tones higher on the Fitzpatrick scale. Mandelic acid features a physically larger molecular structure, meaning it penetrates the skin slowly and evenly. This delivers exceptional clearance of melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) without triggering heat, irritation, or pigment rebound.
Chemical Peel FAQs
-
Medical-grade chemical peels are vastly superior to abrasive physical scrubs. Physical exfoliation simply scratches the surface of the skin, often causing microscopic tears that compromise your skin barrier and invite bacteria.
Chemical peels, instead, rely on controlled keratolysis. We apply highly formulated organic acids (such as Alpha or Beta-Hydroxy Acids) that safely penetrate the stratum corneum (the dead outer layer of skin). These acids actively dissolve the desmosomes—the tiny protein bonds holding dead, damaged skin cells together. This allows the dull, congested surface tissue to shed uniformly and safely, revealing the fresh, luminous skin matrix beneath.
-
A common misconception is that all chemical peels cause your skin to shed off in extreme, visible sheets. In reality, modern clinical peels are highly tailored based on penetration depth.
For superficial peels (targeting the upper epidermis for an instant glow), you will experience zero social downtime and only microscopic cellular shedding that is completely invisible to the naked eye. For medium-depth peels (targeting deeper pigmentation or acne scarring), you can expect 3 to 5 days of mild erythema (redness) followed by light, localized flaking around the chin and nose. We completely control the depth and intensity based on your lifestyle and clinical needs.
-
Yes, they are one of the most effective clinical tools for acne management. When treating active congestion, we utilise Beta-Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), specifically Salicylic Acid.
Unlike other acids, Salicylic Acid is lipophilic (oil-loving). This unique molecular structure allows it to bypass surface water and penetrate deep inside your lipid-filled sebaceous glands. Once inside the pore, it dissolves hardened sebum (oil) and exerts a powerful comedolytic and anti-inflammatory action, rapidly shrinking active blemishes and preventing future breakouts.
-
Absolutely, provided they are administered by a medical professional. Treating melanin-rich skin (higher on the Fitzpatrick scale) requires advanced clinical knowledge to prevent Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH).
At our doctor-led Nottingham clinic, we never use aggressive, unstable acids on darker or sensitive skin profiles. Instead, we select advanced, larger-molecule acids—such as Mandelic Acid or Lactic Acid. Because these molecules are physically larger, they penetrate the epidermis much slower and more evenly. This delivers profound brightening and smoothing results without triggering heat, inflammation, or pigment rebound.
-
While a single superficial peel will deliver an immediate, luminous glow and smoother makeup application, true structural correction (such as fading stubborn melasma, softening fine lines, or clearing chronic acne) requires a cumulative approach.
We typically recommend a strictly timed course of 3 to 6 peels, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. This precise spacing aligns perfectly with your natural cellular turnover cycle, allowing us to progressively remodel the deeper dermal layers safely, yielding long-lasting, transformative results.
