A chemical peel treatment is a skin resurfacing procedure where a chemical solution is applied to remove the outer layers of the skin, allowing new skin to form as the area heals. This process helps improve skin smoothness and tone, and is commonly used for concerns such as acne marks, uneven skin tone, dull skin, and rough texture, with the strength of the peel adjusted based on how deeply it works within the skin.
Chemical peel treatment works through controlled exfoliation, where a solution containing ingredients such as glycolic acid or salicylic acid is applied to the skin to trigger a gradual shedding of the outer layers. As the skin renews, damaged surface layers are replaced, skin cell turnover is supported, and new skin forms, helping improve overall skin clarity and texture.

Chemical peel treatment is most commonly performed on the face, where concerns such as uneven skin tone, acne marks, and rough texture are more visible and frequently addressed. It may also be applied to the neck and hands, depending on your skin concerns and overall treatment plan, with the exact areas determined during consultation based on your skin condition and goals.

Before Treatment
Your skin is assessed to determine the appropriate peel type and depth based on your concerns and skin condition. A treatment plan is then customised to align with your goals and ensure the approach is suitable for your skin.
During Treatment
The skin is first cleansed to remove oils and impurities before the chemical solution is applied to the treatment area. You may experience a mild stinging or warm sensation as the solution works on the skin.
After Treatment
The skin may appear red, tight, or slightly sensitive following the procedure. Peeling or flaking can occur as part of the natural renewal process, as new skin gradually replaces the treated layers.
Aftercare Guidelines
After your chemical peel treatment, simple aftercare supports skin recovery and helps maintain results:
Short-Term Effect
Some individuals may experience redness, dryness, peeling, or increased skin sensitivity after treatment. These effects are usually temporary and improve as the skin completes its natural renewal process.
