A treatment that gently exfoliates the skin to reveal a fresher, smoother surface.
Why Consider a Chemical Peel?
Over time, factors like sun exposure, acne, or ageing can leave the skin looking uneven, dull, or textured. A chemical peel helps refresh the skin by applying a safe, medical-grade solution that removes the outermost layers.
This process supports skin renewal, making it a popular choice for women looking to improve clarity, texture, or brightness, without surgery.
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
A chemical solution is applied to the skin, encouraging the top layer to shed naturally. As this happens, new skin cells replace the old, revealing skin that feels smoother and looks more even.
Peels come in different strengths, from light (minimal peeling, gentle refresh) to medium-depth (more noticeable shedding and recovery time). The right option depends on your skin type, condition, and goals.
What Happens During a Session?
- Before: Your skin will be cleansed, and the peel solution selected based on your skin assessment.
- During: The solution is applied for a few minutes. You may feel tingling or mild stinging, which settles once it’s neutralised.
- After: Skin may feel tight, red, or begin to flake in the days after, depending on peel depth. Gentle aftercare, like moisturiser and sun protection, is key.
What Kind of Results Can You Expect?
- Brighter-looking, smoother skin surface
- Improvement in mild acne marks or uneven tone
- A refreshed look that develops gradually as skin renews
- Stronger results may be achieved with a series of peels over time
Any Side Effects to Know About?
Chemical peels are generally well tolerated, though side effects can include:
- Redness, dryness, or flaking in the days after treatment
- Temporary darkening or lightening in certain skin tones
- Rarely, prolonged irritation or scarring if aftercare isn’t followed
Not all skin types are suited for deeper peels, and this treatment may not be safe during pregnancy or with certain medical conditions. Your doctor will guide you on what’s appropriate.
