AlumierMD Chemical Peels — Everything You Need to Know
If you've been looking into chemical peels, chances are you've come across the AlumierMD name. AlumierMD is one of the most respected medical-grade skincare and peel brands in the world — and at Aesthetics & Wellness London, it's the only peel range we use. In this guide our GMC-registered clinician Rosie walks you through everything you need to know before booking your first AlumierMD peel at our Muswell Hill clinic.
What is AlumierMD?
AlumierMD is a Canadian medical-grade skincare brand founded by a team of scientists, doctors and skincare experts. Their products — including their professional chemical peel range — are formulated using the highest quality ingredients, backed by peer-reviewed clinical research and available exclusively through medically trained practitioners.
This is not a high street brand. AlumierMD products cannot be purchased over the counter — they are only available through licensed, trained professionals. This exclusivity exists for a reason — the active ingredient concentrations are significantly higher than anything available to consumers, which is precisely what makes them so effective.
At Aesthetics & Wellness London, Rosie is an AlumierMD-certified practitioner — meaning she has undergone specific training in the AlumierMD peel system and is authorised to use their full professional range.
"AlumierMD is the gold standard in medical-grade chemical peels. The science is exceptional and the results speak for themselves."
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment in which a carefully selected chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing controlled exfoliation of the outer layers. This process removes dead, damaged and dull skin cells — stimulating new cell turnover, collagen production and revealing fresher, healthier skin beneath.
Despite the word "chemical" sounding intimidating, modern medical-grade peels are extremely safe when administered by a qualified clinician. AlumierMD peels in particular are designed to deliver maximum results with minimum risk — making them suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns.
What Skin Concerns Can AlumierMD Peels Treat?
AlumierMD chemical peels are versatile and can be tailored to address a wide range of concerns including:
Fine lines and early signs of ageing
Uneven skin tone and texture
Dullness and lack of radiance
Acne and congested, oily skin
Post-acne scarring and pigmentation
Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
Rosacea and skin sensitivity
Enlarged pores
Because every AlumierMD peel is tailored to your specific skin type and concern, no two treatments are exactly the same. Rosie will assess your skin thoroughly during your free consultation and select the most appropriate peel formulation and strength for you.
What Types of AlumierMD Peels Are Available?
AlumierMD offers a range of professional peels — each formulated with different active ingredients and strengths to target specific skin concerns. At Aesthetics & Wellness London we offer the full AlumierMD peel range, which includes options targeting:
Ageing and loss of firmness — stimulating collagen and improving elasticity
Pigmentation and uneven tone — brightening and evening the complexion
Acne and congestion — clearing pores, reducing breakouts and calming inflammation
During your consultation Rosie will discuss which peel formulation is most appropriate for your skin — taking into account your skin type, concern, sensitivity and lifestyle.
What Happens During an AlumierMD Peel Treatment?
Here's exactly what to expect when you come in for your AlumierMD peel at our Muswell Hill clinic:
Skin prep facial — every peel treatment at Aesthetics & Wellness London begins with a complimentary skin prep facial. This cleanses, exfoliates and prepares the skin to maximise absorption and results
Consultation and skin assessment — Rosie will assess your skin on the day and confirm the most appropriate peel for you
Peel application — the AlumierMD peel solution is carefully applied to the skin and left for a specific amount of time depending on the formulation and your skin's response
Neutralisation — the peel is neutralised and removed, and a soothing post-peel serum and SPF are applied
Aftercare advice — Rosie will walk you through exactly what to expect in the days following your treatment and what to use on your skin
The whole treatment takes approximately 40 minutes from start to finish.
What Does a Chemical Peel Feel Like?
During the peel application most clients experience a mild tingling or warming sensation — this is completely normal and is a sign that the active ingredients are working. The sensation is temporary and settles quickly once the peel is neutralised.
Most clients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment is. The skin prep facial at the start of the appointment actually makes the experience feel quite relaxing overall.
What Results Can I Expect?
AlumierMD peels deliver both immediate and cumulative results:
Immediately — skin looks brighter, fresher and more radiant straight after treatment
Days 3–7 — as peeling and flaking settles, skin emerges visibly smoother and more even
After a course — significant improvements in skin tone, texture, pigmentation, acne and ageing — building cumulatively with each session
The best results are always seen after a course of treatments rather than a single session. For most skin concerns we recommend a course of 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart — which is why our buy 2 get the 3rd free offer represents such excellent value.
What is the Downtime After an AlumierMD Peel?
Downtime varies depending on the strength of peel used — and Rosie will always tailor this to your lifestyle and commitments. As a general guide:
Day 1 — skin may appear slightly pink or flushed
Days 2–4 — mild flaking and peeling as the outer skin sheds
Days 5–7 — peeling settles and fresh skin is revealed
Day 7–14 — full results visible as new skin matures
Most clients manage the peeling discreetly with moisturiser and feel comfortable in public within a few days. We recommend avoiding heavy exercise, swimming and direct sun exposure during the peeling phase, and SPF is absolutely essential.
Can AlumierMD Peels be Combined with Other Treatments?
Yes — and some of the most impressive results we see are when peels are combined with other treatments. AlumierMD peels work particularly well alongside:
Microneedling — alternating sessions of peels and microneedling for comprehensive skin renewal
Skin boosters — combining deep hydration with resurfacing for a transformative effect
AlumierMD home care — using AlumierMD retail products at home between treatments significantly enhances and prolongs your results
Rosie will always recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your goals during your consultation.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
For most skin concerns we recommend a course of 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. This allows your skin adequate time to renew between sessions while maintaining the cumulative momentum of the treatment course.
For more advanced concerns such as significant pigmentation or acne scarring, a course of 6 sessions may be more appropriate. For general skin maintenance, a single peel every 6–8 weeks is a popular option among our regular Muswell Hill clients.
