Medical Chemical Peels

Medical chemical peels apply a controlled solution to the skin to exfoliate the surface and prompt renewal, improving tone, texture and clarity. The clinic offers the Perfect Derma Peel for general radiance and the Cosmelan/Dermamelan protocol aimed at stubborn pigmentation and melasma. Because these are stronger, professional peels, they are planned with the physician and supported by a home-care routine to protect and maintain results.

A chemical peel uses a carefully chosen blend of acids or active agents applied to the skin to encourage the outer layers to shed and renew. As the treated surface is replaced, peels are associated with improvements in tone, texture, fine surface lines, dullness and certain types of pigmentation. At Diamond Estetic two distinct options are offered: the Perfect Derma Peel, a medium-depth peel used to refresh and brighten the complexion, and the Cosmelan/Dermamelan protocol, a depigmentation system specifically aimed at melasma and persistent pigment. For the Perfect Derma Peel the skin is cleansed and the solution applied in layers; over the following days the skin typically flakes and peels before revealing fresher skin underneath, with results building over a couple of weeks. The Cosmelan/Dermamelan approach begins with an in-clinic mask application followed by a structured home-care regimen over the weeks that follow, which is central to its effect on pigmentation. Both require diligent sun protection, as treated skin is more sensitive to UV and good SPF habits help protect the result. Peels suit adults wanting brighter, smoother, more even skin, and the depigmentation protocol is chosen for those whose main concern is melasma or stubborn discolouration. Suitability — including skin type and any history of cold sores or pigment disorders — is reviewed beforehand, and peels are avoided over active infection and in pregnancy.
