Autumn is often called 'peel season' in the skincare world - and for good reason.
In Kent, where even a few cloudy days make outdoor sun exposure lighter, Autumn offers an ideal window to refresh, renew and re‑balance your skin. So if you’ve been thinking about improving texture, fading pigmentation or creating more radiance, now’s the perfect time to consider a chemical peel - especially here at Sorella Aesthetics.
How Chemical Peels Work
A chemical peel works by applying a carefully formulated solution of acids (or combinations thereof) to the skin’s surface. This solution leads to a controlled, mild exfoliation process, loosening and removing the outermost layers of damaged or aged skin cells. As those layers gently shed, the skin beneath emerges fresher, smoother and better primed to regenerate.
Over the days following the peel, the skin naturally regenerates, revealing renewed texture and tone. The idea isn't to create excessive visible peeling, but to stimulate regeneration with minimal downtime.
The Science Behind Chemical Peels
We're about to get science-y.
At the heart of chemical peels is the balance of acidity (pH) and the concentration of active ingredients, typically acids such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, citric or pyruvic. These ingredients work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface, allowing the top layer of skin to shed naturally.
Some advanced formulations also include technology to minimise irritation. For example, NOON Aesthetics peels (which we use at Sorella) employ DermShield technology. This temporarily inhibits the skin’s pain receptors, so you can benefit from higher concentrations of active acids without the usual burning, stinging or aggressive redness.
Once the superficial layer is cleared, the underlying skin is stimulated to raise fresh cells, increase collagen and elastin production and reorganise pigment distribution more evenly. The result? Clearer, smoother skin.
Seven Benefits Of Getting A Chemical Peel
Our chemical peels in Kent offer a wide range of skin-improving benefits. Here's seven of them.
Improved texture & smoother skin - The peeling process helps to remove dead, rough cells and reveals the fresh layer beneath.
Even skin tone - Peels can help fade pigmentation, sun spots, melasma and post-acne marks.
Refined pore appearance & control of oiliness - Deeper peels may reduce sebum production and clean out clogged follicles.
Reduced fine lines & improved firmness - By stimulating collagen and elastin over time, peels can soften dynamic lines.
Brighter, more radiant skin - With removal of dull, dead layers, your complexion looks fresher and more luminous.
Complementary to other treatments - A peel can enhance results from microneedling, LED therapy or topical skincare, especially when scheduled in the cooler months.
Because peels accelerate renewal, they also encourage better absorption of active skincare when applied afterward
Who Is Suitable For A Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels can treat a wide range of concerns. However, they're not suitable for everyone. The best candidates are usually those looking to improve issues like pigmentation, sun damage, acne scars, uneven texture or the early signs of ageing.
If your skin generally responds well to mild exfoliation and can tolerate resurfacing treatments, you’re likely a good fit.
Clients who are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding, and who haven’t used oral acne medications like isotretinoin in the last 6 to 12 months, are typically suitable for treatment too. On the other hand, if you have active skin infections, open wounds or cold sores, it’s best to delay treatment. The same goes for anyone who’s recently used strong retinoids or undergone facial surgery, laser treatments or any major skin trauma.
For those with deeper wrinkles or pigmentation, a different approach or a combination of treatments might be more effective.

We offer a range of professional chemical peels in Kent that safely target common skin concerns while being gentle enough for regular treatments. Whether you’re new to peels or looking to take your results to the next level, we’ll recommend a treatment plan that suits your skin and your goals.
Peels For Acne-Prone Skin
Chemical peels can help to clear congestion, reduce inflammation and prevent breakouts by deeply exfoliating the skin and unclogging pores. Over time, they also improve post-acne pigmentation and smooth uneven texture.
Peels For Pigmentation & Uneven Skin Tone
Target stubborn pigmentation, sun damage or melasma with peels that gently fade dark spots and even out tone. These peels boost radiance while encouraging a more balanced, brighter complexion.
Peels For Ageing Or Tired-Looking Skin
For fine lines, dullness or loss of firmness, peels stimulate collagen production and increase cell turnover. This leaves the skin looking smoother, fresher and more youthful with each session.

Even sensitive skin can benefit from a chemical peel when the right formulation is used. Our gentle, professional-strength peels are designed to improve skin health without compromising the barrier, helping to reduce redness, calm irritation and strengthen the skin over time.
