Chemical Peeling Systems

Refine. Renew. Restore.

Chemical peels are advanced skin treatments that use carefully selected acids to promote controlled exfoliation and stimulate skin renewal. At Aesthetica, a range of professional peeling systems is used, allowing treatments to be tailored to individual skin conditions, treatment history, and desired outcomes.

Peels form an integral part of clinical skin management and are commonly used to improve skin clarity, texture, and overall function.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel involves the application of a specialised solution to the skin, typically containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), or combination formulations.

These agents work by breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells in the outer layers of the epidermis. This controlled process accelerates the natural exfoliation cycle, encouraging the shedding of damaged skin cells and promoting the regeneration of healthier, more evenly functioning skin.

Depending on the formulation and concentration used, peels can act at different depths within the skin, allowing for targeted treatment of specific concerns.

Clinical Approach to Peeling Systems
At Aesthetica, multiple peel types and brands are utilised to ensure that treatment is not “one-size-fits-all.” The selection of a peeling system is based on a detailed assessment of the skin, including current condition, sensitivity, pigmentation patterns, and previous treatments. Superficial peels are typically used to improve skin brightness, refine texture, and support ongoing skin maintenance. Medium-depth peels may be introduced when addressing more persistent concerns such as pigmentation irregularities, acne, or early signs of ageing. More advanced peeling protocols are reserved for specific indications and are performed with careful clinical consideration. This layered approach allows for progressive skin improvement while maintaining skin integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Chemical peels are used to treat several conditions like oily skin, photodamage, acne scarring, lines and wrinkles, lightening or brightening effect, dull skin and pigmentation.
All peels require some follow-up care. Superficial peels require one to seven days to heal. Treated skin will initially be red and may scale. Lotion or cream should be applied until the skin heals, followed by daily use of sunscreen. Makeup can usually be worn the next day. Medium and deep peels require 7- 14 days to heal. Treated skin will initially be red and swollen. Swelling worsens for the first 48 hours. Eyelids may swell shut. Blisters may form and break. Skin crusts and peels off in seven to 14 days. Skin must be soaked daily for a specified period, followed by ointment application. Mild lotion or cream may be applied. Avoid all sun exposure until healing is complete.
Treatment duration is 20-40min. Chemical peels are considered one of the more accessible professional skin treatments, particularly when compared to advanced laser or injectable procedures. A range of peeling systems is available at different strengths and treatment levels. This allows treatments to be selected and adapted according to both your skin needs and your treatment plan. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, peels can be incorporated as part of a progressive skin programme, making them a flexible and cost-effective option for maintaining and improving skin health over time. A chemical peel is done 3-4 weeks apart once a month. A minimum of 4 treatments would be needed for optimum results.
Chemical peels can be combined with other aesthetic treatments, for instance, micro-needling, carboxytherapy, radiofrequency treatments or facials. Clients would have a skin analysis done before their first chemical peel and advice will be given according to their scan outcome.
