Chemical Peels

Enhance your natural beauty

At VIVA Skin Clinics, we love to see dramatic improvements to the tone and texture of our patients skin.

We advocate the use of chemical peels to enhance the complexion and leave your skin soft, supple and with a powerful radiant glow. Chemical peels are applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells. At VIVA Skin Clinics, we have two peels available; Obagi Blue Radiance Peel and VIVA Skin Glow Peel. Both peels work in the same way, to disrupt the superficial cells and are then neutralised to reveal a brighter tone and texture one shedding has subsided. Chemical Peels are a superb non invasive alternative to injectable treatments that offer dramatic results from the very first treatment.

Common questions

Does it hurt?

Chemical Peels can cause a stinging or slight warming sensation to the face during application. The solution is then neutralised so that it is only on the skin for the desired length of time. Shedding of the skin post treatment is completely pain free.
Are there any side effects?

The skin may feel a little sensitive post treatment, but this will subside quickly. Shedding of the skin will begin a couple of days post treatment and is a normal and essential part of the treatment process. You should not pick or peel the shedding skin, allowing it to fall away naturally, revealing your beautiful new complexion beneath.
What result can I expect?

Following the chemical peel treatment, approximately 5 days post treatment your shedding should have almost subsided if not completely. You can expect that the tone and texture of your skin will be much improved, with a beautiful radiant glow. Fine lines and wrinkles as well as superficial acne scars are also often eradicated or reduced through the use of chemical peels, so you will look both youthful and bright.
Is it safe?

When professionally applied, chemical peels are perfectly safe. There are some low risks with hypersensitive skin types, although any risks would be discussed at your pre-treatment consultation, at which time your suitability will also be determined.
Which product is used?

We offer two peels: Obagi Blue Radiance, and a VIVA Glow Peel.

Client reviews

Hear what our happy clients have to say about us

Everything about my experience was wonderful. I suffer from anxiety, so I was extremely anxious beforehand, but Dr Critchley immediately put me at ease with his calming, friendly, and fun demeanour. I noticed a few reviewers saying that they had to wait a while to be seen, but this wasn't the case with me. I had a 3-5 minute wait at most. The procedure itself is very brief and I have absolutely no bruising. Before having treatment it's important to have a realistic expectation of what can be achieved. Dr Critchley was honest with me and said that my under eye circles really weren't that bad, but that we all have some sort of creasing under our eyes, meaning that no amount of filler can completely obliterate ALL traces of under eye circles. However, the fillers have done wonders for my self-esteem, as the improvement to the appearance of my eyes is substantial. Now I can happily go outside without 5 layers of concealer! I definitely wouldn't go anywhere else for my fillers. Thank you Dr Critchley!

Within 5 minutes of meeting Dr. Rupert, I knew he had the answers to what I’ve been searching for! This was my first time ever getting any cosmetic work done, so I was a little nervous, but Dr. Rupert was very reassuring. He was informative in every step throughout the process, from educating me beforehand to what exactly was happening during each injection.I really appreciate his attention to detail to ensure the most natural enhancements. Overall, I had the absolute best experience and am beyond thrilled with my results!

I am not sure about the treatment itself although Dr. Rupert as a person is nice and professional. Had to top up the Botox as did not work and still not good work after the second top up, plus I am having new wrinkles now after the dermal fillers around the mouth. Left side of the face looks different to the right side after dermal fillers. Overall, not impressed. I subsequently heard dermal fillers don't really work to get rid of marionette lines( this is my primary concern) and I can see why now. I also wish all face treatment salons/clinics start using proper day light angle rather than showing me my "before and after" photos taken in a place with no natural light.

Love love love Dr Rupert and what he does, I recommend him to all my friends. People have commented how surprised they are I’ve had Botox/fillers as it looks so natural. He makes you feel so comfortable and at ease and I trust him 100% with my face. I won’t go to anyone else.

I had been considering tear trough fillers for a while because I was very unhappy with the darkness of my under eyes. After doing some research I found the VIVA Skin Clinic and decided to book a consultation. As a newbie to cosmetic enhancements world, I was scared of what to expect and how it would all go but once I met Dr. Rupert Critchley I really felt put at ease and comfortable so I decided to go ahead not only with the tear through filler procedure but also with botox for my gummy smile. Neither of the treatments were painful, just a little unconfortable. All I can say is that Dr. Critchley is amazing and the results for both procedures made me very happy, my confidence has been boosted, I haven't felt this good about myself in a long time. Highly recommended :-)
