Chemical peels are among the most trusted and effective non-surgical cosmetic treatments for improving the overall texture, clarity, and health of the skin. At The Glo Bar, we provide advanced chemical peel treatments in Ruislip tailored to treat a variety of skin concerns with precision and care. Backed by clinical research and performed in a controlled, hygienic environment, our peels deliver visible, long-term results with minimal downtime.
Whether you’re battling acne, hyperpigmentation, dullness, or early signs of ageing, chemical peels offer a scientifically supported method to exfoliate damaged layers of skin and promote cell renewal—leaving you with a clearer, brighter, and smoother complexion.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove its outermost layers. Once exfoliated, the body naturally regenerates new skin cells that are smoother, healthier, and more even in tone.
Peels are available in varying intensities:
- Superficial/light peels for mild skin dullness or texture
- Medium-depth peels for pigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines
- Deep peels for more advanced wrinkles and scarring (usually performed by dermatologists)
At The Glo Bar, we primarily offer light and medium peels using safe, clinically approved ingredients like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and TCA (trichloroacetic acid), customised to your skin’s specific needs.
Backed by Research – The Efficacy of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels have a strong foundation in dermatological science. According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), over 1.3 million chemical peel procedures were performed in clinical settings in 2023 alone, marking a steady rise in demand.
Key research-based benefits include:
- A study in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology (2018) found that chemical peels reduced acne lesions by up to 60% over six sessions.
- Research published in Dermatologic Surgery shows that TCA and glycolic acid peels significantly improve melasma and age-related pigmentation.
- A clinical review in Aesthetic Surgery Journal supports the role of peels in stimulating collagen production, helping reduce wrinkles and promote skin elasticity.

What to Expect During and After Treatment
Initial Consultation
Before undergoing a peel, clients undergo a thorough consultation. We review your medical history, skincare routine, and desired results to determine the most appropriate peel.
Treatment Procedure
The procedure typically lasts 30–45 minutes. After cleansing the skin, the peel solution is applied and left on for a set period depending on the formulation and your skin’s tolerance. A neutraliser is then applied, followed by soothing serums and SPF.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Downtime varies depending on peel strength:
- Light peels: minor redness, return to normal within 24–48 hours
- Medium peels: some peeling/flaking for 3–5 days
- Avoid sun exposure and active skincare ingredients (e.g., retinols) for 5–7 days post-treatment.
- We provide a detailed aftercare guide and support throughout the recovery phase.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate for Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are suitable for most adults seeking to improve their skin’s texture and appearance. However, they are particularly effective for:
- Individuals with oily, acne-prone, or congested skin
- Clients concerned about pigmentation, sun damage, or age spots
- Those with fine lines or surface-level wrinkles
- People seeking a brighter, more even complexion
Clients with certain skin conditions such as active eczema, psoriasis, or a history of keloid scarring may not be suitable candidates and should consult a specialist before proceeding.
