Chemical peels are a transformative treatment designed to enhance skin texture and tone, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion beneath. At Aesthetica Medical, we utilise a range of peels to target various skin concerns effectively. These treatments can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, such as age spots, melasma, and freckles. Acne and acne scars can also see significant improvement. Beyond aesthetic benefits, chemical peels stimulate collagen production, promoting healthier, more resilient skin.

Preparing Your Skin for a Peel
Preparation is key to maximising the benefits of your chemical peel. We recommend a personalised skincare regimen to recondition your skin, enhancing the treatment's effectiveness and reducing potential side effects. Full details will be provided during your initial consultation
During the procedure, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. The selected chemical solution is carefully applied to your skin, where it works to exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate new cell growth. Depending on the peel's depth, the process typically lasts between 30 to 90 minutes.
Post-peel care is part of our aim of providing optimal results. Done correctly, your post-treatment regimen can greatly affect how effective your results will be. Aesthetica Medical provides detailed aftercare instructions, including the use of gentle skincare products and sun protection. Recovery time varies with the peel's intensity, but patients can usually resume normal activities immediately after a light peel.
Ideal candidates for chemical peels are individuals looking to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. Those with fair to medium skin tones may experience the most significant improvements. It's important to have realistic expectations and be in good overall health. Our in-depth consultation will determine if a chemical peel is right for you.
It is advisable to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after a light peel to allow the skin to breathe and recover. For medium or deep peels, makeup should not be applied until the skin has fully healed, which could take up to two weeks.
The frequency of chemical peels depends on the type of peel and your specific skin concerns. Light peels can be done monthly, while medium to deep peels may require a longer interval between treatments, typically 3 to 6 months. Our specialists at Aesthetica Medical will provide a tailored treatment plan to meet your needs.
Chemical peels can cause a tingling or slight burning sensation during the application, but this discomfort is generally mild and temporary. Aesthetica Medical ensures a comfortable experience by closely monitoring your skin's response throughout the procedure.
