Chemical Peels
Treatment
A tailored, non-surgical treatment designed to gently exfoliate, refine, and refresh your skin. Available at Prime Cosmetic Clinic in Melbourne and Canberra.
- Exfoliation: Active ingredients (such as AHAs, BHAs, or TCA) help loosen and shed dead skin cells.
- Renewal: Skin cell turnover is encouraged, revealing fresher skin underneath.
- Clarity & texture: Helps refine pores, smooth rough texture, and reduce uneven pigmentation.
- Collagen support: Some peels can stimulate dermal remodelling over time, supporting firmer, healthier-looking skin.
- Uneven tone and pigmentation (sun damage, age spots, melasma – mild cases)
- Acne and congestion
- Enlarged pores and oily skin
- Fine lines and early photo-ageing
- Rough or dull skin texture
- Duration: 30–45 minutes
- Sensation: Tingling, warmth, or mild stinging during application; usually well tolerated
- Downtime: Varies by peel strength; from mild flaking/redness (superficial peels) to several days of visible peeling (medium depth)
- Results: Gradual improvements in clarity, brightness, and smoothness; multiple sessions may be recommended for best results
FAQs
Most patients describe tingling or mild stinging during the peel, but it is generally comfortable.
A series of 3–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results.
Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin within a week. More significant improvements are built with a course of treatments.
It’s usually best to avoid makeup for 24–48 hours to allow your skin to recover.
