About this procedure
A chemical peel applies a controlled acid solution to remove the outermost layer of skin, encouraging renewal and a more even tone.\n\nPeels come in different strengths — light, medium and deep — and the right one is chosen according to the skin type, concern and tolerance of the person being treated.
Who it is suitable for
- ["Mild acne and post-acne marks","Pigmentation and melasma (under review)","Dullness and uneven skin texture","Fine lines"]
How the procedure is done
The skin is cleansed and the peel solution is applied and left for a set time, then neutralised. A light cooling sensation is common. The strength used is matched to the skin being treated.
Recovery & aftercare
Lighter peels cause mild flaking for a few days. Stronger peels involve more noticeable peeling over about a week. Sunscreen and a gentle routine are essential while the new skin settles.
Important notes
- ["The depth of the peel is matched to skin type and concern","Peeling must not be forced or picked","Strict sun protection is needed after the peel","Several peels may be needed for pigmentation or textural concerns"]
