01 · What it is

A chemical peel is a solution applied to the skin to exfoliate selected layers and encourage renewal. Different ingredients and strengths are used for concerns such as dullness, acne or uneven tone.

Peel type and depth are chosen after assessment. On melanin-rich skin, preparation and aftercare are important to reduce the chance of irritation or new dark marks.

02 · How it works

Your clinician assesses your skin, discusses preparation and selects a peel. During treatment, the skin is monitored and aftercare is explained.

  1. 01Consultation to choose an appropriate peel and prepare the skin.
  2. 02The face is cleansed and the selected peel is applied for a monitored period.
  3. 03You may feel tingling or warmth; tell the clinician if you are uncomfortable.
