Chemical Peel
Shed the Dull. Keep the Glow.
Our Chemical Peel uses 20% glycolic acid, a superficial peel that works on the outermost layer of the skin. Glycolic acid comes from sugar cane. It has the smallest molecule of the alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), so it moves easily into the surface layer.
Once applied, it lowers the skin's pH and loosens the bonds holding dead cells together. These cells shed, fresh cells rise in their place, and fibroblasts are prompted to make more collagen and elastin. As a superficial peel, it brings visible renewal with little peeling or downtime.
For dullness, congestion, early lines and uneven tone, it lets fresher skin come through.
Every peel begins with a look at your skin, its type and your goals, to confirm the peel suits you.
During the procedure: The skin is cleansed, then the glycolic acid is applied in layers over the treatment area. A neutraliser stops the peel, and the skin is soothed. The face, jawline and neck, arms and back can all be treated.
Treatment sensation: Most clients feel mild warmth or tingling while the peel is on, easing once it is neutralised.
A session usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Sessions needed: A course of 4 to 6 peels, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, is typical, adjusted to how your skin tolerates it and your goals.
Results Timeline: Skin often looks smoother and brighter within about a week, and keeps improving with each peel in the course.
Maintenance: Skin keeps producing oil and dead cells, so a monthly peel and daily sunscreen help hold your results. It can also be alternated with laser treatments for scars, pigmentation or ageing.
Layer by layer, the skin finds its clarity again.
Most clients carry on with their day straight after. Mild redness and light flaking can appear and usually settle within a few days.
Aftercare tips:
- Moisturise well and use gentle recovery skincare
- Avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen daily
- Let any flakes shed on their own, without picking
- Follow the aftercare notes provided after your treatment
- Attend your follow-up review so your doctor can check your progress
- Smoother skin texture and a more even tone
- Softened mild pigmentation, sun damage and dark marks
- Clearer pores, with fewer breakouts
- Softer-looking fine lines
- Better hydration and a brighter, more radiant complexion
When will I see results? Brighter, smoother skin often shows within about a week, and builds across the course.
Chemical Peel is ideal for individuals who:
- Have oily, combination or acne-prone skin, or clogged pores
- Notice dull, rough or uneven skin, or mild pigmentation
- See early signs of ageing such as fine lines
- Want visible renewal with minimal downtime
It may not suit very sensitive or reactive skin, such as rosacea or eczema. For stubborn pigmentation or melasma, see our Cosmelan Peel.
