If you're looking for a way to rejuvenate your skin, reduce blemishes, or tackle fine lines and pigmentation, chemical peels are one of the most effective, science-backed treatments available. But with so many options—mild, medium, and deep peels—how do you know which one is right for your skin?

At our advanced clinic in Hereford, we specialise in professional chemical peels tailored to your skin concerns, tone, and goals. Whether you're dealing with acne / breakouts, sun damage, or signs of ageing, this guide will help you understand the differences and benefits of each peel—so you can make the right choice for healthier, glowing skin.

💡 What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a resurfacing & exfoliating treatment that uses carefully selected acids to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This process:

• Stimulates and increases cell turnover 
• Fades pigmentation and acne scars 
• Refines texture and tone
• Improves overall clarity and radiance
• Dimisish skin aging and symptoms of rosacea 
• Treats acne and breakouts 

Depending on the depth of the peel, results can range from subtle glow to dramatic skin rejuvenation.

🌿 Mild vs Deep Peels: What's the Difference?

Keywords: mild vs deep peels, chemical peel types Herefordshire

✔️ Mild (Superficial) Peels

These peels target the outermost layer of the skin and are ideal for:

• Dull or rough skin texture
  
   
• Minor pigmentation
  
   
• Mild acne and clogged pores
  
   

 Best for: First-time peel clients or those seeking minimal downtime.
 Downtime: None to minimal flaking.

✔️ Medium Peels

Medium-depth peels penetrate more deeply, reaching the mid-dermis. They’re ideal for:

• Sun damage and pigmentation
  
   
• Moderate acne scars and acne / breakouts 
  
   
• Fine lines and wrinkles
  
   

 Best for: Clients wanting more noticeable results without a full deep peel.
 Downtime: Peeling typically starts around day 2–3 and lasts 5–7 days.
 Performed by: Trained professionals only—this peel is medical-grade and should never be    done at home.

✔️ Deep Peels

Deep peels offer the most dramatic results but require medical supervision and significant downtime. They're suitable for:

• Deep wrinkles
  
   
• Severe sun damage
  
   
• Extensive scarring
  
   

Note: We may refer clients to a medical specialist for deep peels if required, depending on your skin's condition and medical history.
