Chemical Peel

Overview: Chemical peels are dermatologist-supervised treatments that use medical-grade acids to exfoliate the skin, revealing smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin beneath. Our personalised peel protocols address multiple concerns including fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, and rough texture, with formulations specifically selected for Indian skin types to minimise pigmentation risks.

How the Treatment Works: The treatment involves applying a carefully selected acid solution—such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or TCA—to the skin. These acids work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting exfoliation and cellular turnover. The depth and intensity of the peel are customised by your dermatologist based on your skin concerns, sensitivity, and tolerance. This controlled exfoliation stimulates collagen production and reveals fresher, healthier skin.

Who Is This Treatment For: Chemical peels are suitable for individuals with concerns like fine lines, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, acne scars, rough texture, or dullness. They are ideal for those seeking a non-invasive way to refresh and rejuvenate their skin. The treatment can be tailored for various skin types and sensitivities when performed under dermatologist supervision, making it safe for Indian skin.

Benefits:

• Improved skin texture and smoothness
• Reduction in fine lines and superficial scars
• Brighter, more even skin tone
• Reduced appearance of pigmentation
• Dermatologist-customised for safety and efficacy

Procedure & Sessions: The treatment begins with skin preparation and cleansing. Your dermatologist selects the appropriate peel formulation and concentration. The solution is applied and left on for a controlled duration, then neutralised. The entire process typically takes 30-45 minutes. Most patients benefit from a series of 4-6 peels spaced 2-4 weeks apart, with maintenance peels every 2-3 months.

Downtime & Safety: Downtime varies based on peel depth. Light peels may cause mild redness for a few hours, while medium peels may involve 2-3 days of peeling. All peels are performed under strict dermatologist supervision using medical-grade products. Pre-treatment preparation and post-treatment care are crucial to ensure safety and optimal results, especially for Indian skin types prone to pigmentation.

Results & Aftercare: Initial results include smoother, brighter skin visible within days. Progressive improvement continues over weeks as collagen remodelling occurs. Your dermatologist will provide a comprehensive aftercare routine including gentle cleansing, recommended moisturisers, and absolutely essential broad-spectrum sunscreen. Strict sun protection is critical to prevent pigmentation and maintain results. Avoid harsh products and direct sun exposure during the healing phase.
