What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses a carefully balanced solution to exfoliate the skin, encouraging the removal of damaged outer layers. By doing so, it reveals smoother, fresher, and more radiant skin underneath. This treatment can target fine lines, pigmentation, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin texture, making it a versatile solution for many skin concerns.
At Lumiderm Skin Clinic, we offer tailored chemical peels designed for your skin type and condition. Each peel is chosen with care to deliver noticeable results while prioritising safety and comfort.
Treatment Areas
We offer chemical peels for multiple areas to address your specific skin concerns:
- Face - Comprehensive facial treatment for pigmentation, acne scars, and overall skin rejuvenation
- Neck - Target fine lines and improve skin texture on the delicate neck area
- Décolletage - Address sun damage and improve skin tone on the chest area
- Body - Treat larger areas for overall skin improvement and texture enhancement
Each area can be treated individually or combined for comprehensive skin renewal tailored to your specific needs.
Benefits of a Chemical Peel
A chemical peel can provide both immediate and long-term benefits. The exfoliation process promotes cellular renewal, which helps skin look brighter, clearer, and smoother. With repeated treatments, clients often see significant improvements in skin tone, firmness, and overall radiance.
Some of the key benefits include:
- Reduction of pigmentation and sun damage
- Smoother skin texture
- Softening of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved appearance of acne scars
- Enhanced absorption of skincare products
If you’re looking for a way to refresh your complexion without invasive procedures, a chemical peel offers an effective and safe solution.
Types of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels vary in strength and depth, and the right choice depends on your skin needs and goals. At Lumiderm Skin Clinic, we primarily focus on gentle yet effective peels that deliver visible results without harsh downtime.
| Type of Peel | Depth | Common Uses | Downtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superficial Peel | Outer skin layer | Mild pigmentation, dull skin, fine lines | Minimal, a few hours of redness |
| Medium Peel | Middle layers of skin | Acne scars, deeper pigmentation, rough texture | A few days of peeling and redness |
| Deep Peel | Deeper layers of skin | Severe sun damage, deep wrinkles | Significant downtime, not typically offered in standard clinics |
We always recommend starting with lighter treatments and building up if required. This ensures your skin remains healthy and your results look natural.
The Chemical Peel Process
Your treatment journey at Lumiderm Skin Clinic is designed to be comfortable, safe, and tailored to your needs. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation – We assess your skin type, condition, treatment areas, and goals.
- Preparation – Your skin is cleansed thoroughly to remove oils and impurities.
- Application – The chemical solution is applied to your chosen treatment areas in a controlled way.
- Neutralisation – The peel is carefully neutralised to ensure no irritation.
- Aftercare – A soothing serum and SPF are applied to protect and calm the skin.
The entire process usually takes around 30–45 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Aftercare and Recovery
After your peel, you may notice slight redness or flaking, which is part of the natural renewal process. It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure and always use a high-quality SPF, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV light.
We recommend following these simple steps:
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser
- Avoid exfoliating products for 1 week
- Apply sunscreen daily
- Stay hydrated to support skin healing
Within a week, most clients see visibly brighter and smoother skin, with results continuing to improve over time.
Who is Suitable for a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels are suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns. They are particularly effective for:
- Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Mild acne and scarring
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
However, they may not be suitable if you have very sensitive skin, active eczema, or certain medical conditions. A consultation at Lumiderm Skin Clinic will ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
