Medical Chemical Peel

Medical-grade chemical peels apply a controlled solution to exfoliate the upper layers of the skin, supporting improvements in tone, texture, congestion and the look of fine lines. At Med-Derm peels are offered in formulas aimed at acne-prone or ageing skin, with options covering the face, neck and décolletage. A short course tailored at consultation generally gives the most even and noticeable result.

A chemical peel uses a carefully selected acid solution to remove the outermost layers of the skin in a controlled way, prompting renewal of fresher skin beneath and stimulating processes associated with smoother texture and more even tone. At Med-Derm peels are available in dedicated formulas — an acne-oriented formula to help with congestion and blemish-prone skin, and an anti-ageing formula aimed at dullness and fine lines — as well as Neauvia chemical peels priced by the number of ampoules used. The treatment begins with cleansing, after which the solution is applied for a controlled time and then neutralised or removed; you may feel tingling or warmth during application. Depending on the depth, the skin can look pink and then flake or peel lightly over the following days as it renews, with most people returning to normal activities quickly. Strict sun protection during and after a peel course is essential, as freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV. Because results are cumulative, a series of peels spaced a few weeks apart usually gives a more even and lasting improvement than a single treatment, and the clinician selects the formula, strength and area — face, face and neck, or face, neck and décolletage — to suit your skin and concern. Peels are avoided over active infection, on broken skin and in pregnancy where indicated; suitability and the right protocol are agreed beforehand.
