Chemical Peels

At Dr.Fresh Clinic, chemical peels are a key component of our skincare services, with Dermaceutic peels like the Crystal Peel and Milk Peel delivering transformative results. The Crystal Peel utilizes fine aluminum oxide crystals to gently exfoliate the skin, effectively removing dead cells and promoting cell turnover. This process helps to diminish fine lines, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of age spots and blemishes. It’s an ideal choice for those looking to rejuvenate their complexion with minimal downtime.

The Milk Peel, on the other hand, is designed to provide a gentle yet effective exfoliation using a blend of lactic acid and other nourishing ingredients. This peel is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin or those new to chemical peels. It helps to brighten the skin, improve hydration, and refine the texture while minimizing irritation. Both peels are tailored to address specific skin concerns, making them versatile options for achieving a healthier, more radiant complexion at Dr. Fresh Clinic.

What Skin Issues Can Chemical Peels Address?

Chemical peels can treat a range of skin concerns. These include reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, addressing pigmentation issues like sunspots or melasma, and improving the skin’s texture by reducing acne scars and uneven skin tone. The treatment can also help minimise the appearance of enlarged pores and promote a brighter, more radiant complexion.

Is a Chemical Peel Right for You?

Whether a chemical peel suits you depends on your skin type and the specific concerns you want to address. During a consultation, a trained professional will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate peel for your needs. It’s important to follow pre-treatment and post-treatment instructions to achieve the best results and minimise the risk of side effects, such as redness or sensitivity.

What to Expect

During the treatment, your skin will be thoroughly cleaned, and the chemical solution will be applied. Depending on the strength of the peel, you may feel a mild tingling sensation or some discomfort. The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes, although deeper peels may take longer.

After the treatment, you can expect some redness, flaking, or peeling as your skin begins to regenerate. Recovery time depends on the type of peel you received, with light peels requiring minimal downtime and deeper peels requiring a longer recovery period.

Chemical Peels – FAQs

The time it takes to see results depends on the type of peel. Light peels often show visible results within a week, while medium and deep peels may take several weeks as the skin continues to heal and regenerate.

The frequency of chemical peels depends on the strength of the peel and your skin’s needs. Light peels can be done more frequently, such as every 4-6 weeks, while deeper peels are generally spaced further apart to allow the skin ample time to heal.

Mild side effects like redness, sensitivity, and peeling are common after a chemical peel. These effects typically subside after a few days. Deeper peels may result in more noticeable side effects and require a longer recovery time.

For light peels, the downtime is minimal, with most people returning to their usual activities within a day or two. Medium and deep peels may require up to a week or more of recovery, depending on the intensity of the treatment.
