Lucie Royer, Owner and Lead Practitioner at Studio Aesthete, is passionate about the skin and the soul. The word aesthete is defined as meaning a person who is enthusiastic towards art and beauty, and Lucie focuses her business on exactly that ethos.


Based in Newcastle and Sunderland, Studio Aesthete offers a range of non-surgical cosmetic practices and advanced facials including injectables, lip augmentation, micro needling, and chemical peels.

  Lucie considers herself a specialist in ensuring people are feeling their best, inside and out. With an education in personal training, as well as being a qualified mental health nurse, Lucie took her education further afield through various placements and has since undertaken advanced aesthetic training. She has also travelled all over the world, and by doing this has begun to understand more about her own personal ambition to help and care for others. Through all her experience and learning, complemented by her keen interest in aesthetics, Studio Aesthete was established. 

  Studio Aesthete specialises in services such as injectables and medical facials including chemical peels. Chemical peels can help to aid a collection of issues from the reduction of dilated pores, to lessening the signs of sun damage, to fighting against signs of wrinkles and ageing- there really is a solution for almost all skin concerns with the use of a chemical peel.     

Lucie offers three different types of chemical peel: a purifying peel, a radiance peel and a rejuvenating peel. Each peel contains a specific cocktail of ingredients to assist with your individual skincare needs, in order to totally transform your skin. The peels are available at £65 for a single session, or £350 for a course of six sessions. Opting for a course of six sessions is an exceptional procedure for those wishing to enhance their skin, via this package you will receive a series of six chemical peels, one per month, for six months.

Studio Aesthete’s Purifying Peel is a combination of salicylic and azelaic acid which aims to accelerate a significant improvement in the appearance of acne related scars. Salicylic acid works by encouraging the skin to shed dead cells from its top layer and by doing so will decrease redness and swelling across the entire surface of the face.

Azelaic acid assists by helping the skin to renew itself more quickly and therefore reduces pimple and blackhead formation. It also helps to kill the bacteria that can cause acne and rosacea. This concoction of ingredients will renew the skin by lifting the dead cells off its surface, while stimulating the proliferation of cells in the basal layer’s underneath. An increase in the number of cells, because of cell growth and cell division, will ultimately make improvements to the health of oily and acne-prone skin. The purifying peel is ideal to control sebaceous secretion, reduce dilated pores, and improve cases of acneic couperosis.     

The Radiance Peel is a superficial action chemical peel with the ability to provide the dilution of pigmented irregularities. With a mixture of acids, the skin appears to have reduced visible signs caused by sun damage, as well as an overall brightening effect through the removal of eliminating superficial dead cells. Glycolic acid is used to break the bonds between the outer layers of skin, to improve its overall texture. Glycolic acid works in conjunction with citric acid and kojic acid to reverse visible signs of photodamage, age spots, and scars. Two other acids complete the radiance peel mixture; lactic acid helps to improve the skins natural moisture and keeps the skin hydrated, while salicylic acid works to help the skin shed to reduce redness and inflammation.  The use of this peel will give the complexion a brighter, more youthful appearance through removing any unwanted sun damage.     

Studio Aesthete’s final peel of the trio is the rejuvenating peel. This peel is designed to lift the stratum corneum (outermost layer of the skin) without invasive damage to the underlying viable epidermis below. The rejuvenating peel is safe for all skin types and incorporates two acids into its formula. Pyruvic acid acts as a medium chemical peeling agent and assists with skin issues like inflammatory acne, moderate acne scars, greasy skin, actinic keratosis, and warts. Pyruvic acid works in combination with lactic acid to exfoliate the surface of the complexion while keeping the skin moisturised with the assistance of the lactic acid. The rejuvenating peel fights against signs of moderate and advanced wrinkles, provides anti-flaccidity action, and revitalise the skins general complexion.     

The Studio Aesthete team is keen to get to know you and your face, to help reach your aesthetic goals, and with chemical peels and their brilliant services available from £65.
