Transform your skin with our chemical resurfacing and mesoresurfacing procedures. Designed to target various concerns, these procedures leave you with healthy, glowing skin.

What is a Skin Resurfacing Chemical Peel?

The pHformula resurfacing treatments are specifically designed to pass through the top layer of the skin and target the deeper layer, therefore creating skin rejuvenation rather than just killing the top layer of skin (like traditional skin peels).

A combination of natural acids, vitamins and patented technology targets your skin concerns with:

  • Minimal downtime
  • Safe for all skin types
  • Safe for all skin colours
  • Pregnancy safe options

All of our Chemical Peels are applied by a GMC registered Doctor as with all treatments at the Cosmetics Doctor Norwich clinic.

Why Choose Chemical Resurfacing?

Chemical resurfacing offer a powerful way to revitalise your skin by:

  • Exfoliating dead skin cells to reveal brighter, smoother skin
  • Reducing hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and acne scars
  • Stimulating skin renewal for a youthful, refreshed look
  • Reducing inflammation – therefore calming breakouts and redness.
  • Customising the intensity to match your skin’s needs, from mild to intense (we offer TCA peels also).

What to Expect

  • Ready for the next step? We offer Mesoresurfacing, which uses tiny liquid spicules to deliver hyaluronic acid and growth factors into your skin. Think of it like liquid microneedling, but no needles and no downtime. This advanced procedure creates microchannels that promote cell turnover, oxygenation, and enhanced absorption of active ingredients – triggering skin renewal and structural repair.
  • Providing multilayered hydration, refined texture, and visible skin rejuvenation.
  • This is also a safe option for patients with metal allergy.
  • It is also pregnancy safe.
