What is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peel treatments are non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedures that help improve skin texture and tone.
​
During the procedure, we’ll apply a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove the outermost layer of the epidermis of the skin. This results in smoother, blemish-free skin and promotes regeneration.
​
The top layer of the skin can be easily damaged by environmental factors like constant sun exposure, as well as makeup application and improper skincare practices.
Chemical peels are used to treat various skin concerns, such as fine lines, acne, mild scarring, sun spots, freckles, hyperpigmentation, and uneven or dull skin tone.

How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
Chemical peel treatments are highly effective because they trigger the skin’s natural regeneration process, resulting in smoother, more youthful skin. This cosmetic procedure can only be performed by qualified skin experts and under professional care.
​
During the chemical peel process, we’ll apply a solution to the skin on your face, neck or hands. The chemical helps break down the bonds between dead skin cells by exfoliating the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the epidermis of the skin).
​
Within a few days, you’ll notice the outer skin peeling off. If you’ve had a deeper peel, the chemical will also penetrate the middle layer of the skin, and it might take a few days for the skin to start flaking off, involving a prolonged healing period.
​
Once the peeling stops, you’ll notice clearer and more radiant skin. For gentle chemical peels, we recommend one session per week for six weeks, and for maintenance after the initial course, we recommend one session per month.

I was so pleased Charlotte could remove a mole I’d had (and hated) my whole life. It was a simple straight forward procedure and I was really happy with results. I would highly recommend Charlotte.

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer
There are several types of chemical peel treatments available, and we’ll prescribe the right procedure based on your individual skin condition.
The most common treatments are:
​
1. Light or Gentle Chemical Peel
This process removes only the outermost layer of the skin and is best suited for treating fine wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. Light chemical peels have minimal downtime, and recovery takes a few hours to a few days. It’s usually spread across a series of sessions.
​
2. Medium Chemical Peel
Medium chemical peels penetrate the outermost layers and the upper part of the middle layers of skin. This treatment is best suited for addressing age spots, uneven skin tone, acne scarring, and fine-to-moderate wrinkles. Recovery takes almost a week and involves some downtime.
​
3. Deep Chemical Peel
If you’re interested in a deep chemical peel in your area, make sure you’re aware that this treatment affects the lower middle layers of the skin and has a long recovery time while your skin heals. Deep chemical peels are best for moderate signs of ageing and deeper scarring.

Is a Chemical Peel Right for You?
Chemical peels are safe and effective for most skin types, promoting skin rejuvenation. If you have a darker skin tone, you’ll be slightly more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation;
however, a gentle peel is generally suitable for you.
​
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, or you have an active skin infection or wound, you should avoid chemical peel treatments. Those with a history of keloids, poor wound healing and sensitive skin should inform their practitioners beforehand.

Our skin experts are available for a detailed conversation before you book an appointment for chemical peel skin rejuvenation treatment.
What Happens During a Chemical Peel Treatment?
When you visit The Blemish Clinic for chemical peel treatment, our skin experts will first walk you through the process and answer all your questions. Here’s what the process generally looks like:
​
-
Before the procedure, the skin is cleaned thoroughly, and your eyes and hair are protected.
-
We’ll then apply the active ingredient to your skin. You’ll notice a warm, tingling (or stinging for deep peels) sensation.
-
The solution will typically be left on your face for a few minutes to allow for even penetration. It’s then neutralised using water, or it neutralises itself.
Post-treatment, your skin might appear slightly red and inflamed and feel tight and dry. You can return to your daily activities, but make sure you avoid UV exposure and always use suncream.
Following our aftercare routine will help with the healing. We recommend applying a gentle, hydrating moisturiser several times a day. You’ll notice that your skin starts flaking within a day or two and stops within a few days. You should avoid picking the skin or scratching yourself, as well as applying any exfoliants or active ingredients.
