If you are searching for chemical peels for acne in Trowbridge and Bath, our guide will tell you everything you need to know about how chemical peels work, their benefits and why they could be the ideal treatment for your acne.
What are chemical peels?
A chemical peel is a minimally invasive professional skin procedure that helps improve the appearance of the skin. During your procedure, our Medical Practitioner carefully applies combinations of powerful solutions to the face, décolletage or hands to remove dead skin cells. The solutions penetrate into the skin, causing dead skin cells to peel off – this leaves the skin looking smoother and more refined looking. By removing dead skin cells and stimulating cellular turnover, chemical peels reveal fresher, clearer and healthier skin underneath.
There are many different types of chemical peels and the right one for you depends on your skin type and desired results. Light or superficial chemical peels usually consist of alpha and beta hydroxy acids such as, glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acids that are combined to improve the appearance of: fine lines and wrinkles, photoageing, rough and uneven skin and acne.
Obagi Blue Peel Radiance
The Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is a superficial, salicylic acid based medical peel that is highly effective at treating acne-prone skin. It deliveries both instant and long term results. It is suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, particularly acne and uneven skin texture. Salicylic acid helps unclog pores and reduce excess oil in the skin which is usually a key contributor to the onset of acne.
Key Benefits:
- Improves active acne and prevents future breakouts
- Refines skin texture and tone
- Minimises the appearance of pores
- Brightens dull, tired looking skin
- Reduces pigmentation and post-acne marks
- Provides smoother, clear complexion
Because Obagi Blue Peel Radiance is a superficial peel, it requires little to no downtime meaning it’s a great option for individuals with busy lifestyles who want a quick procedure.
How chemical peels help acne
Acne develops due to a combination of factors including excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria and inflammation. Obagi Blue Peel Radiance address these root causes in several ways:
1. Deep exfoliation
The Obagi Blue Peel Radiance removes the buildup of dead skin cells that clog pores and lead to breakouts.
2. Unclogging pores
By clearing congestion within the pores, chemical peels can help reduce blackheads, whiteheads and active acne lesions.
3. Oil control
This peel helps regulate sebum production, making it particularly beneficial for those with oily or combination skin.
4. Reducing acne scarring/post acne pigmentation
Chemical peels can improve the appearance of post-acne marks, pigmentation and scarring over time.
5. Anti-inflammatory effects
The ingredients used in medical-grade peels, such as Obagi Blue Peel Radiance, help calm redness and irritation associated with acne.

Consultation – The first step to your treatment journey at Revitalise Skincare Clinic is always a thorough personalised consultation. Our Medical Practitioner will assess your acne with our advanced skin analysis device, this shows us the deeper layers of the skin and allows us to determine which treatment will be most beneficial for you.

The treatment will be throughly explained to you and you will be able to ask any questions you may have during your consultation.
Treatment – Obagi Blue Peel Radiance prep solution is applied to clean, dry skin to ensure all oil and impurities have been removed from the skin. Once the skin is completely dry, the first layer of Blue Peel Radiance is applied. You may experience a mild tingling sensation which is completely normal, treatment is usually well tolerated. Depending on your skin type and acne severity, a second layer of peel may be applied – also depending on your toleration of the first layer. The peel will remain on for skin for up to 10-12 minutes and then will be gently removed. Post peel, SPF is applied.
Post treatment – After your chemical peel, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. Light peeling may occur over the next 5-7 days whilst your skin renews itself. Your practitioner will provide you with an aftercare sheet.
How many treatments will I need?
