Chemical Peel
Deeper Penetrating Peel for Brighter, Clearer Skin
Our SkinCeuticals Pigment Balancing Peel is a professional-grade chemical peel that combines powerful brightening and anti-inflammatory agents to penetrate deeper into the skin. This advanced peel is specifically designed to address hyperpigmentation, photodamaged skin, melasma, and acne, delivering visible results from the very first treatment.
The Pigment Balancing Peel contains a potent formulation of 40% Glycolic Acid, 10% Citric Acid, 27% Vitamin C, and 4% Emblica at a pH of 1.6. This carefully calibrated combination works synergistically to exfoliate dead skin cells, brighten the complexion, reduce pigmentation irregularities, and stimulate cellular renewal for a more even, radiant skin tone.
Conditions We Treat
Chemical peels are effective for a wide range of skin concerns, helping to restore clarity and radiance.
Hyperpigmentation
Dark spots and uneven skin tone caused by sun damage or hormonal changes.
Photodamaged Skin
Sun-related skin damage including rough texture, fine lines, and discolouration.
Melasma
Stubborn patches of brown or grey-brown discolouration, often on the face.
Acne & Breakouts
Active acne, congested pores, and post-inflammatory scarring.
Treatment Protocol
For optimal results, we recommend a series of 6 treatments spaced 10 to 14 days apart. This progressive approach allows your skin to respond and regenerate between each session, building cumulative improvements with each treatment.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Each session follows a precise clinical protocol to ensure safety and effectiveness. Your practitioner will begin with thorough cleansing and degreasing of the skin to prepare it for the peel. The peel solution is then carefully applied and left on the skin for 2 to 4 minutes, depending on your skin's tolerance and treatment goals. The peel is then neutralised and removed, leaving your skin feeling refreshed.
Post-Treatment Care
Proper aftercare is essential to maximise results and protect your newly treated skin. We recommend the following SkinCeuticals post-care regimen:
- C E Ferulic Antioxidant Serum – Provides powerful antioxidant protection and helps brighten the skin
- Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 – Replenishes essential lipids, supports the skin barrier, and deeply hydrates
- Broad Spectrum SPF – Essential daily sun protection to shield treated skin from UV damage
CLINICCARE Peel Options
In addition to our SkinCeuticals peel, we also offer a range of CLINICCARE chemical peels tailored to specific skin concerns.
Refresh AHA Peel
Designed for ageing and photodamaged skin, the Refresh AHA Peel uses alpha hydroxy acids to gently resurface and smooth the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. Ideal for those looking to restore a youthful glow and improve overall skin texture.
Pure BHA Peel
Formulated with beta hydroxy acid (salicylic acid), the Pure BHA Peel is the ideal choice for acne-prone skin. It penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil and debris, effectively targeting blackheads, congestion, and active breakouts while calming inflammation.
Glow AHA Peel
The Glow AHA Peel is specially formulated for hyperpigmentation and dull, uneven skin tone. This brightening peel works to inhibit melanin production, lighten dark spots, and reveal a more luminous, even complexion with each treatment session.
Frequently Asked Questions
For optimal results with the SkinCeuticals Pigment Balancing Peel, we recommend a course of 6 treatments spaced 10 to 14 days apart. You will notice improvements after each session, with the most significant results visible after completing the full course. Your practitioner will assess your skin and recommend the best plan during your consultation.
Most clients experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during the peel application, which typically lasts only 2 to 4 minutes. The sensation is generally well tolerated and subsides quickly once the peel is neutralised. Your comfort is always our priority, and your practitioner will monitor you throughout the treatment.
Downtime varies depending on the type and strength of peel used. With the SkinCeuticals Pigment Balancing Peel, you may experience mild redness and slight flaking for a few days following treatment. It is essential to avoid direct sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum SPF daily. Most clients are able to return to their normal routine immediately.
The best peel for you depends on your specific skin concerns. The SkinCeuticals Pigment Balancing Peel is ideal for hyperpigmentation and melasma, while CLINICCARE options target specific issues: Refresh AHA for ageing and photodamage, Pure BHA for acne and blackheads, and Glow AHA for hyperpigmentation and dullness. We will recommend the most suitable option during your free consultation.
We recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment to allow your skin to breathe and recover. After this period, you can gradually reintroduce your normal skincare routine and cosmetics. Your practitioner will provide detailed aftercare guidance tailored to the specific peel you receive.
