Chemical peels often get a bad reputation, especially on social media where dramatic before-and-after photos and scary stories can make them seem intimidating. At ProFacials, based at Cheltenham Reflexology and Massage, Alumier chemical peels offer a safe, effective way to refresh your skin without the fear.

What Are Alumier Chemical Peels?
Alumier chemical peels use a blend of carefully selected acids to exfoliate the skin’s surface. Unlike harsh peels that cause intense peeling and redness, Alumier peels are designed to be gentle and customizable. They work by removing dead skin cells, stimulating collagen production, and improving skin texture and tone.
At ProFacials Cheltenham, each peel is tailored to your skin type and concerns, whether you want to reduce fine lines, clear acne, or brighten dull skin. The treatment is quick, usually lasting about 30 minutes, with an additional 10 minutes for post-treatment care. There's also minimal downtime, allowing you to get back to applying makeup just 24 hours after treatment.
Common Myths About Chemical Peels
Myth 1: Chemical Peels Are Painful and Dangerous
Many people imagine chemical peels as painful procedures that leave skin raw and red for weeks. Alumier peels, however, are formulated to minimize discomfort. Most clients report a mild tingling or warming sensation during the treatment, but it is rarely painful.
The acids used in Alumier peels are medical-grade but balanced to avoid damage. ProFacials’ trained therapists monitor your skin closely to ensure safety. The risk of complications is very low when performed by professionals.
Myth 2: Chemical Peels Cause Severe Peeling and Downtime
Not all chemical peels cause dramatic peeling. Alumier peels often result in little to no visible peeling, making them suitable for people with busy lifestyles. Some clients may notice slight flaking or dryness for a day or two, but this is mild compared to traditional peels.
This means you can enjoy refreshed skin without taking time off work or social events. ProFacials offers aftercare advice to help your skin heal smoothly and maintain results.
Myth 3: Chemical Peels Are Only for Older People
While chemical peels are popular for anti-aging, they benefit all ages. Younger clients use Alumier peels to manage acne, reduce pigmentation, and improve skin clarity. The treatment supports healthy skin renewal at any stage of life.
At ProFacials Cheltenham, therapists assess your skin’s needs and recommend the right peel strength and frequency, whether you are in your 20s or 60s.
How Alumier Peels Improve Your Skin
Alumier peels combine ingredients like salicylic acid, and lactic acid, each targeting different skin concerns:
Salicylic acid clears pores and controls acne
Lactic acid hydrates and brightens dull skin
This combination promotes cell turnover, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath. Over time, regular peels can improve skin firmness and reduce pigmentation spots.
ProFacials Cheltenham customizes the peel formula to your skin type, ensuring you get the best results without irritation.
What to Expect During and After Your Treatment
At your appointment, the therapist will cleanse your skin and apply the Alumier peel solution. You may feel a slight tingling, which usually fades quickly. The peel stays on for a few minutes before being neutralized and removed.
After the treatment, your skin might look slightly pink but will calm down within hours. You will receive guidance on gentle skincare and sun protection, which is essential after any peel.
Most clients return to their normal routine immediately, enjoying smoother, brighter skin within days.
