Medical Chemical Peels

Medical chemical peels apply a controlled acid solution to exfoliate the skin's surface and stimulate renewal, improving texture, dullness, congestion, mild acne and pigmentation. The clinic offers single-acid peels such as salicylic, mandelic and trichloroacetic acid, and dedicated depigmenting protocols (Cosmelan and Dermamelan) for stubborn melasma. Because peels are supervised by a dermatologist, the right strength is matched to your skin.

A medical chemical peel uses a professional-strength acid solution applied to the skin to dissolve the bonds between surface cells, prompting controlled exfoliation and a renewal response in the layers beneath. Depending on the acid and concentration, peels work at different depths: lighter peels brighten and refresh, while stronger or repeated treatments can address more persistent texture, congestion and pigmentation. The result is smoother, clearer and more even-looking skin as the treated surface is replaced. At P & P Beauty Clinic the available peels include salicylic acid 30%, well suited to oily and acne-prone skin; mandelic (almond) acid, a gentle option that also helps tone; and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for more noticeable resurfacing. For stubborn melasma and pigmentation the clinic offers the Cosmelan and Dermamelan depigmenting protocols, which combine an in-clinic application with a prescribed home-care regimen over the following weeks. A session takes around twenty to thirty minutes; you may feel tingling or warmth during application and can expect some redness, tightness and, with deeper peels, flaking or peeling over the following days. Strict sun protection afterwards is essential, particularly for pigmentation treatments. Because the service is overseen by a dermatologist, the type and strength of peel are matched to your skin and concern, and a course is often recommended for the best result. Peels are avoided in pregnancy and over active infection; suitability is confirmed beforehand.
