Chemical peels are professional skin treatments designed to improve skin texture and overall tone by accelerating cell turnover and removing damaged surface layers. By using clinically formulated acids at controlled strengths, chemical peels help address congestion, pigmentation, dullness and early signs of ageing while supporting healthier skin renewal.
At JB Aesthetics, chemical peels are delivered using medical-grade formulations, including the Obagi Blue Radiance Peel, as part of a personalised, evidence-based approach to skin health. Treatments are tailored to individual skin concerns, helping achieve visible improvement while maintaining skin integrity and balance.

What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels use carefully selected exfoliating acids to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores and stimulate fresh cell turnover. This process improves skin clarity, refines texture and enhances radiance while encouraging healthier skin function beneath the surface.
At JB Aesthetics, we use the Obagi Blue Radiance Peel, a medical-grade superficial peel formulated with salicylic acid and glycolic acid. This peel is designed to deliver effective exfoliation while remaining well tolerated, making it suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns.
Unlike cosmetic peels, medical-grade chemical peels are results driven and tailored based on skin type, sensitivity and treatment goals.
Improves Skin Clarity & Texture
Refines pores, smooths uneven texture and enhances brightness.
Targets Congestion & Breakouts
Helps clear blocked pores and reduce congestion.
Supports Even Skin Tone
Improves dullness, pigmentation and uneven tone.
Progressive Skin Improvement
Results build gradually with regular treatments.
Chemical Peels for Men & Women
Chemical peels are suitable for both men and women.
For men, treatment often focuses on deep cleansing, oil control and improving skin texture.
For women, peels may prioritise radiance, pigmentation and early signs of ageing.
Treatment selection is always based on skin needs rather than gender.
