Your Trusted Partner in Aesthetics

Profile Aesthetic is a medically-led clinic in Aberdeen serving the Northeast of Scotland. Our Specialist Aesthetic Nurses select and deliver peels as part of a structured skin-health plan — matching peel type and strength to your skin's needs and combining with other treatments where appropriate.

Why Choose Skin Peels?

Skin peels are chosen when you want to improve surface-level concerns like dullness, uneven tone, congestion or early texture changes. By applying a carefully selected solution that encourages controlled exfoliation, the skin renews itself to reveal a fresher, brighter layer beneath. Peels range from light (minimal recovery) to medium-depth (more visible peeling, stronger results).

Procedure Details

After assessing your skin, your clinician selects the appropriate peel type and strength. The solution is applied to clean skin for a controlled period, then neutralised or removed. Depending on the peel depth, you may feel tingling or warmth during application. Light peels may be used as a regular maintenance treatment; deeper peels are usually planned as part of a course.

Before the Procedure

  • Avoid retinoids and strong actives for several days if advised
  • Avoid sunburn and self-tan
  • Tell us about: skin sensitivities, pregnancy/breastfeeding, recent treatments, cold sore history

During the Procedure

  • Typically 20–30 minutes
  • You may feel tingling, warmth or mild stinging depending on peel strength
  • Your clinician monitors your skin throughout

After the Procedure

  • Light peels: mild redness for a few hours, minimal visible peeling
  • Medium peels: visible flaking/peeling for several days
  • Avoid sun, heat and active skincare until healed
  • SPF is essential during and after recovery
