Reveal smoother, fresher-looking skin with a professional Cliniccare Chemical Peel Facial at The Brookside in Darwen.
Our personalised skin peel facial combines professional cleansing, a carefully selected Cliniccare peel and targeted finishing products. It is designed for clients who want more than a relaxing facial and would like to improve the visible appearance of dullness, uneven texture, congestion, blemishes, pigmentation or early signs of skin ageing.
Your therapist will assess your concerns, skin condition and suitability before selecting the appropriate Cliniccare peel and treatment approach.

A chemical peel is a professional exfoliating treatment that uses carefully formulated acids to loosen and remove dull surface cells. This supports skin renewal and can leave the complexion looking brighter, smoother and more even.
Despite the name, a chemical peel does not always cause visible sheets of peeling. The amount of dryness or flaking varies according to the peel used, its strength, your skin and how it responds.
At The Brookside, the peel forms part of a full facial rather than being treated as a quick standalone application.
Your appointment includes skin assessment, preparation, professional peel application and products chosen to support and protect the skin afterwards.

Depending on the peel selected and your individual suitability, a course of professional skin peels may improve the visible appearance of:
✅ dull or tired-looking skinrough or uneven skin texture
✅ congestion and blocked-looking pores
✅ oily or blemish-prone skin
✅ uneven-looking skin tone
✅ areas of visible pigmentation or sun damage
✅ fine lines and early signs of ageing
✅ skin that needs a fresher, brighter appearance
Results vary, and a cosmetic facial cannot diagnose or treat a medical skin condition. Clients with severe, persistent, painful or unexplained skin concerns should seek advice from a GP or dermatologist.

We use professional-only Cliniccare chemical peels and select the most suitable option according to your skin, concerns and treatment plan.

Make-up, surface impurities and oils are removed so the peel can be applied evenly. Includes double cleanse, exfoliation, steam, and massage.
3. Personalised peel application
Your therapist applies the selected Cliniccare peel in a controlled way and monitors your skin throughout.
4. Targeted facial products
Suitable mask, serum or moisturising products are used according to your skin and the treatment plan.

Suitability depends on your skin's current condition, sensitivity, medication, skincare routine and treatment history. A gentler approach or a different facial may be recommended following consultation.
A professional peel may help improve the appearance of oily, congested or blemish-prone skin. It is not a substitute for medical diagnosis or treatment, and severe, painful, persistent or scarring acne should be assessed by a GP or dermatologist.
It is best to give the skin time to settle and follow the exact advice provided by your therapist. Avoid applying make-up to skin that is irritated, broken or actively flaking.
Your therapist will recommend suitable spacing based on the peel used and how your skin responds. Do not repeat the treatment more frequently than advised.
