A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing smoother, more youthful skin underneath.
Light peels have minimal downtime (1-3 days of mild flaking), medium peels require 5-7 days, and deep peels may need 2-3 weeks of recovery.
Most patients see results after 1-3 sessions for light peels, spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Medium and deep peels may require fewer sessions.
Chemical peels can be safely performed on most skin types when administered by an experienced provider. We assess your skin during consultation to select the safest option.

Light (superficial) peels work on the outer layer. They brighten dull skin, help mild congestion and even out early pigment. Recovery is a day or two of mild flaking, and results build over a series.
Medium peels reach the upper dermis. They address moderate pigment, fine lines and shallow acne scarring, with visible peeling for several days and a stronger single-session result.
Deep peels are rarely the right first choice in a sun-exposed, pigmented population, because the risk of prolonged pigment change is real. For deeper scarring we usually prefer fractional resurfacing or microneedling.
Choosing depth is a clinical decision based on your concern, your skin type and how much downtime you can genuinely take.
Richly pigmented skin responds well to peels when the plan is conservative and staged. It reacts badly to aggressive peeling, which can leave post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that outlasts the original problem by months.
Our approach for Fitzpatrick IV to VI is pigment-stabilising topical preparation for several weeks first, then a series of lighter peels rather than one strong one, with strict sun protection throughout. If you have active melasma, that is treated as a condition in its own right before any resurfacing is added.
All three remodel skin; they differ in how the injury is delivered. Peels use chemistry and are excellent for pigment and surface dullness. Lasers use light energy and are the strongest option for texture and scarring, with more downtime and more caution needed on darker skin. Microneedling creates mechanical channels and is the gentlest of the three for reactive skin, especially combined with PRP.
In practice we combine them across a year rather than choosing one forever: peels for maintenance and pigment, a resurfacing course for scarring, microneedling for collagen in between. The full menu is on aesthetics.
