Chemical Peels
Controlled exfoliation for congestion, dullness, marks and texture.
Treatment Overview
A chemical peel applies a solution that removes the outer layers of skin in a controlled way, encouraging fresher skin to surface. Peel type and strength are matched to your concern and skin tone.
Who May Benefit
- Patients with congestion, blackheads or mild acne
- Those with post-acne marks and dullness
- Patients with uneven texture or superficial pigmentation
How the Treatment Works
The solution loosens the bonds between surface skin cells, allowing them to shed. This clears congestion, disperses superficial pigment and stimulates renewal.
The Treatment Process

Consultation
Skin typing, priming advice and peel selection.

Number of Sessions
Peels are usually performed in a series spaced two to four weeks apart, depending on the peel strength and your concern.
