Chemical peel

A controlled chemical solution exfoliates the outer skin layer to improve texture, tone and pigmentation.

When this is typically needed

  • Dull or uneven skin texture
  • Post-acne marks
  • Fine lines or sun damage

What it involves

A solution is applied for a set time, then neutralised — peel strength is chosen based on skin type and concern.

What to expect

Mild redness and peeling for a few days after stronger peels; results build over a course of sessions.
