Book NowWhat Is a Chemical Skin Peel?
A chemical skin peel is a professional facial treatment that uses a solution of acids to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. By removing dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover, chemical peels reveal smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin underneath.
Chemical peels vary in strength—from superficial peels for gentle exfoliation to medium and deep peels for more dramatic results targeting wrinkles, scarring, or pigmentation.
Benefits of a Chemical Skin Peel
-Reduces fine lines and wrinkles – smooths early signs of ageing
-Improves skin texture and tone – evens out rough or dull skin
-Fades pigmentation and sun damage – helps with age spots and uneven colour
-Minimises acne and scarring – unclogs pores and reduces post-acne marks.
-Boosts collagen production – promotes firmer, plumper skin.
-Enhances absorption of skincare products – skin is more receptive after treatment.
