Chemical Peels are skin-specific superficial skin peels designed to improve the clinical appearance of the skin. The result is fewer fine lines, a brighter complexion, improved skin tone, and a more youthful appearance.

A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses acids to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing fresher, smoother skin. Peels range from superficial to deep, depending on the type and concentration of acids used.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a chemical peel?
    A chemical peel is a skincare treatment that uses a solution to exfoliate the outer layers of your skin, revealing smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin underneath. It can help address issues like acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and dullness.
    How does a chemical peel work?
    The chemical solution applied to your skin causes the top layers to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process stimulates the production of new skin cells, improving skin texture and appearance over time.
    What are the benefits of a chemical peel?
    Chemical peels can reduce the appearance of acne, fine lines, sun damage, age spots, and uneven pigmentation. They also promote a more radiant, youthful complexion and can improve skin texture.
    Are chemical peels painful?
    You may feel a slight tingling, warming, or mild stinging sensation during the treatment, but it’s generally not painful. Stronger peels may cause more intense sensations but are typically well-tolerated with numbing options if needed.
    How long does a chemical peel take?
    A typical chemical peel session takes between 30-45 minutes, depending on the type of peel and treatment area.
    How many chemical peel treatments do I need?
    For noticeable improvements, most people require a series of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Maintenance peels may be recommended every 6 months to keep your skin glowing.
    What should I do to prepare my skin before a chemical peel?
    Pre-Treatment Care
    • Consult a skin expert – Ensure the peel is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.
    • Discontinue Certain Products – Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and strong acids at least 5-7 days before treatment.
    • Sun Protection – Avoid excessive sun exposure and use SPF 30+.
    • Hydrate – Keep your skin well-moisturized before the peel.
    • No Waxing or Laser Treatments – Avoid hair removal procedures a week before the peel as it makes skin sensitive.
    • Avoid steaming before chemical peels
    What post treatment care should I follow after a chemical peel?
    • Moisturize & Hydrate – Use a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain skin hydration
    • Avoid Sun Exposure – Apply sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily and wear protective clothing.
    • No Picking or Peeling – Allow the skin to shed naturally to prevent scarring.
    • Use Gentle Skincare – Avoid harsh cleansers, scrubs, and active ingredients like retinol for a few days.
    • Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water to support the skin’s healing process.
    What is the recovery time after a chemical peel?
    Recovery time depends on the depth of the peel. After a mild peel, you may experience slight redness or dryness for a few days. For deeper peels, you may experience more peeling and discomfort for up to a week.
    Will my skin peel after the treatment?
    Yes, most chemical peels will cause some peeling or flaking as the dead skin sheds. The amount of peeling varies based on the strength of the peel. This is a natural part of the skin’ s renewal process.
    Can I wear makeup after a chemical peel?
    It’s recommended to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after a chemical peel to allow your skin to breathe and heal. After that, mineral-based makeup is a gentle option.
    Are there any side effects of chemical peels?
    Potential Side Effects
    • Redness and irritation
    • Peeling and dryness
    • Temporary darkening or lightening of the skin
    • Increased sun sensitivity
    Some temporary redness, dryness, or mild irritation may occur. In rare cases, deeper peels can cause scarring, hyperpigmentation, or infection, so it’s important to follow post-treatment care and consult with a professional.
    Who is a good candidate for a chemical peel?
    Chemical peels are suitable for most skin types and concerns, including acne, discoloration, and aging signs. However, those with certain skin conditions, like eczema or rosacea, and skin of colour i.e. Fitzpatrick 4-6 should consult with a professional before undergoing the treatment.
