KEY BENEFITS

Chemical peels are commonly used to treat wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scars, freckles, sun damage, melasma, and other skin unevenness. Lighter-strength peels can be performed as a once off but it’s recommended to undergo a course to achieve the best results.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layer of dead skin cells. This can help to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other blemishes. Chemical peels are usually classified according to their depth of penetration: superficial, medium, or deep.

The type of peel that is right for you will depend on your goals and your skin type.

Superficial peels are the mildest and can be performed at home with over-the-counter products. Medium peels penetrate deeper and require a higher concentration of chemicals; these are typically done in a doctor’s office or medical spa. Deep peels penetrate the deepest layers of skin and require anaesthesia; they are only performed by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
A consultation with a qualified aesthetician or doctor can help you determine which type of peel is best for you.

Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as uneven skin tone while improving the texture of your skin.

Stimulate the production of collagen, resulting in firmer, healthier-looking skin.

Chemical Peel Treatment Overview

DURING YOUR TREATMENT

A chemical peel is a treatment that uses a solution to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. The solution is applied to the skin, which causes the dead skin cells to peel off. The new skin that is exposed is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.

There are three main types of chemical peel: superficial, medium, and deep. Superficial peels are the least aggressive, and can be used to treat mild skin problems such as sun damage or acne scars. Medium peels are more aggressive, and can be used to treat deeper wrinkles or pigmentation problems. Deep peels are the most aggressive type of peel, and can be used to treat extensive sun damage or very deep wrinkles.

Who is it for?

Chemical peels can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, uneven skin tone and give it a more youthful appearance. 

While there are many at-home peels available, it is important to seek professional treatment from a qualified esthetician or dermatologist. This will help to ensure that the peel is performed safely and effectively.

The type of peel that is right for you will depend on your goals for the treatment. Chemical peels are generally safe for all skin types but may not be suitable for people with certain conditions such as active acne or rosacea.

How long until I see results?

Depending on the depth of the peel, results can be seen anywhere from a few days to a few weeks after the procedure. Superficial peels, like glycolic acid peels, often show immediate results after just one treatment. The skin will appear brighter and smoother, with a more even tone. Deeper peels, such as phenol peels, can take up to several months to reveal their full effects. 

Phenol peels are typically used to treat more severe skin conditions, such as wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage. Because they remove several layers of skin, they can take longer to heal and may require multiple treatments before desired results are achieved. No matter what type of chemical peel you receive, it is important to follow your aestheticians instructions for post-peel care in order to maximize your results and reduce your risk of side effects.

Chemical Peels vs Micordermabrasion

When it comes to achieving smooth, youthful skin, there are a number of options to choose from. Two of the most popular treatment methods are chemical peels and microdermabrasion. Both procedures can be effective in reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, but they work in different ways. 

Chemical peels use a solution to remove the outer layer of skin, while microdermabrasion uses a hand-held device to sand away the top layer of skin. Each method has its own set of benefits and risks, so it’s important to consult with a skin care professional to determine which one is right for you.

 In general, chemical peels tend to be more aggressive than microdermabrasion, so they may not be suitable for everyone. However, for those who are looking for dramatic results, a chemical peel may be the best option. 

Microdermabrasion is a safer and more gentle alternative, making it a good choice for those with sensitive skin. Ultimately, the best way to achieve beautiful skin is to speak with a qualified skin care professional who can help you choose the right treatment method for your individual needs.

Nothing But Professional

As always, Dr Dallas was nothing but professional! I had lip augmentation and Anti-Wrinkle with Dallas and he done an excellent job. My mother also had Anti-Wrinkle and Profhilo.
We are both so happy with the results. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with out treatments and would highly recommend Dallas for any treatment anyone is considering. We will most definitely be returning.

Love my new skincare routine

I would 100% recommend Dr Dallas, his manner and procedure/product knowledge is magnificent, I felt reassured the first time I met him enough to go back and let him do what I wanted to have done, and more! Absolutely love my new skincare routine which he also advised me on. Words cannot depict how happy I am since Dr Dallas carried out my treatments.

I will never trust anyone else with my face

Dr D is a true king! The ultimate professional and a true gentleman. I moved abroad last year but still fly home just to see Dr Dallas and will never trust anyone else with my face. I’m not sure which I look forward to the most - my post treatment glow up or his wonderful chats! Offering Hydrafacials in the clinics now is also a great extra benefit.

FAQ

Downtime is the period of time immediately following a chemical peel during which the skin is healing. Depending on the strength of the peel, downtime can last anywhere from a few days to a week or more. During this time, it is important to keep the skin clean and moisturized, and to avoid sun exposure. Most people will experience some redness and peeling during downtime, but these side effects should gradually improve as the skin heals.
