Chemical Peels in Marylebone
A Fresh Approach to Skin Texture
When dead skin cells accumulate on the surface, skin can appear dull, rough or congested.
Chemical peels provide controlled exfoliation to improve the appearance of the skin. They can be useful for uneven texture, blocked pores and certain types of superficial pigmentation.
At Dr JB Skin, we offer the Obagi Blue Radiance Peel, with treatment selected following an assessment of your skin.

What Is the Obagi Blue Radiance Peel?
What Is the Obagi Blue Radiance Peel?
The Obagi Blue Radiance Peel is a superficial chemical peel that uses exfoliating acids to remove accumulated surface skin cells.
This can help improve skin clarity and texture without the more extensive recovery associated with deeper peels.
Although the treatment is relatively gentle, suitability still depends on your skin type, sensitivity and any active ingredients you're currently using.
What Happens During Treatment?
Your skin is cleansed and prepared before the peeling solution is applied.
You may experience tingling, warmth or mild stinging while the peel is working. Your practitioner will monitor your skin throughout the appointment.
Once treatment is complete, we'll explain how to care for your skin over the following days.
Recovery and Results
Some patients notice smoother-looking skin shortly after treatment. Others experience a few days of dryness or mild flaking before the skin settles.
Visible peeling isn't essential for a treatment to be effective.
For concerns such as congestion or uneven tone, a course of peels may be recommended, often spaced four to six weeks apart.
You'll need to avoid certain active skincare products temporarily and protect your skin from excessive sun exposure.
