Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are medical-grade skin treatments designed to improve skin quality, texture, and tone by encouraging controlled exfoliation and regeneration of the skin. When selected and performed appropriately, they can address a wide range of concerns while supporting long-term skin health.
At Wrinkless Medical Aesthetics Clinic in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, chemical peels are offered as part of a doctor-led, personalised approach to skin treatment. Peel selection is always guided by your skin type, concerns, and tolerance, rather than using a one-size-fits-all protocol.
All treatments are carried out by Dr. Carol Mastropierro following a detailed skin assessment.
How chemical peels work
Chemical peels use carefully selected acids to exfoliate the skin in a controlled way. This process helps to remove damaged surface cells, stimulate cell turnover, and encourage healthier skin regeneration.
Depending on the type and depth of peel used, chemical peels can:
- improve skin texture and smoothness
- brighten dull or uneven skin tone
- reduce pigmentation irregularities
- support collagen stimulation
- improve acne-prone or inflamed skin
The key to safe and effective treatment lies in choosing the right peel for the right skin at the right time.
ABOUT US
Peel systems used at Wrinkless
At Wrinkless, a range of medical-grade peel systems are used to allow treatment to be tailored to individual skin needs. These include peels from Mesoestetic, Neostrata, and Revypeel, each offering different formulations and strengths.
This variety allows for:

Brand selection is always secondary to what is most suitable for your skin.
What to expect from treatment
Chemical peel treatments are performed in a controlled clinical environment. Sensations during treatment can vary depending on the type of peel used and may include warmth or mild tingling.
Downtime varies from minimal to a few days of light peeling, depending on the peel selected. This will be discussed in detail during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
A course of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
Chemical peels for different skin concerns
Chemical peels can be tailored to target a variety of skin concerns, including:
Ageing and skin texture
As the skin ages, cell turnover slows and collagen production declines, leading to dullness, fine lines, and uneven texture. Superficial to medium-depth peels can help stimulate renewal, improve skin smoothness, and support overall skin quality.
These peels are often used as part of a broader skin health plan rather than as a standalone solution.
Pigmentation and uneven tone
Pigmentation concerns such as sun damage, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and uneven tone can benefit from carefully selected peels that regulate melanin production and improve skin clarity.
Peel choice and treatment timing are particularly important in pigmentation-prone skin, and suitability is always assessed individually to minimise the risk of irritation or rebound pigmentation.
Acne scarring and post- acne marks
Chemical peels can help improve the appearance of superficial acne scarring and post-acne pigmentation by encouraging skin renewal and improving texture. For deeper scarring, peels may be combined with other treatments as part of a structured plan.
Inflammation and sensitised skin
Not all peels are aggressive. Certain formulations are specifically designed to support inflamed, sensitised, or compromised skin barriers, helping to calm inflammation while improving skin function.
These peels are selected cautiously and are always preceded by a thorough skin assessment.
