professional chemical peels

what is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is an advanced professional skin treatment that uses acids to exfoliate the skin and remove damaged skin cells. They an effective way to help improve a wide range of skin concerns, from acne and hyperpigmentation to fine lines and visible signs of skin ageing.

The application of a chemical agent creates a controlled removal of the outer epidermal layers – and in some cases, the upper dermis -triggering the skin’s natural healing response and supporting cell renewal.

how chemical peels improve skin health

By removing damaged skin cells and supporting cell renewal, chemical peels can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne, enlarged pores, scarring, and hyperpigmentation.

Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin – the pigment responsible for skin colour – is deposited in greater than usual amounts, causing a visible change in skin tone. There are three common types of hyperpigmentation that chemical peels can improve.

01

melasma

associated with hormonal changes linked to pregnancy or hormonal contraception, typically presents as patches across the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip.

02

sun spots

the most common form of hyperpigmentation, result of UV exposure and frequently appear on sun-exposed areas including the face, neck, chest, and hands.

03

post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

results from inflammation or injury to the skin, including acne, cuts, or burns. Its appearance varies by skin tone due to variations in eumelanin concentration.
