Chemical Peel (Face)

Chemical peels apply a controlled solution to the skin to exfoliate its upper layers, encouraging brighter, smoother and more even-looking skin. The clinic offers a wide range of acids and strengths — from gentle, no-downtime refreshers to deeper resurfacing peels — chosen to suit the concern, whether that is dullness, uneven tone, congestion or fine lines. A course is often recommended for the clearest results.

A chemical peel uses a carefully selected acid solution to loosen and remove the outermost layers of skin, prompting them to shed and be replaced by fresher skin underneath. Depending on the type and strength, peels are associated with improvements in brightness, tone, texture, congestion and the look of fine lines. At Skin-Medic the practitioner assesses your skin and concern and selects an appropriate formulation — lighter options such as glycolic, pyruvic, ferulic, BioRePeel CL3 or PRX-T33 for a refresh with little downtime, or stronger TCA and Jessner-type peels for more noticeable resurfacing. The skin is cleansed and the solution applied for a controlled time, often with a mild tingling or warming sensation, before being neutralised or removed as appropriate. Lighter peels typically cause only brief redness, while stronger peels can be followed by a few days of flaking or peeling as the skin renews. Because the benefit is cumulative for many concerns, a course of peels spaced a few weeks apart is commonly recommended, alongside diligent sun protection and a suitable home-care routine. The clinic also offers specialist depigmenting protocols such as Cosmelan and Dermamelan for stubborn pigmentation. Peels are suitable for most adults; the practitioner reviews your skin type, any recent treatments and contraindications, and avoids them in pregnancy where indicated.
