Chemical Peels

About this treatment

Chemical peels use carefully selected exfoliating solutions to encourage surface renewal. At Eloria London, peels are personalised rather than sold as fixed brand packages: the formulation, strength and frequency are chosen after assessing your skin. A peel may help improve the appearance of congestion, uneven tone, pigmentation and dullness. Strength is built gradually and suitability is reassessed before every session.

Common questions

Why start with a consultation

Choosing a treatment from a list rarely produces the best outcome. A consultation makes sure that what you book is appropriate for your skin, that anything unsuitable is ruled out, and that your expectations match what a treatment can realistically support.

1. Step 1

   Understanding your skin

   Your concerns, history, current routine and goals are discussed before anything is assessed physically.

2. Step 2

   Assessment and suitability

   Your skin is assessed in person, and contraindications and any need for a patch test are identified.

3. Step 3

   Your personalised plan

   A plan is agreed in writing, which may include one treatment or a carefully selected combination.

4. Step 4

   Preparation and aftercare

   You receive written preparation and aftercare guidance so you know exactly what to expect.
