What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel applies a medical-grade solution that gently exfoliates the outer layers of skin, prompting fresher, healthier skin to surface.

Peels improve tone, texture, dark spots and clarity — customized in strength to your skin and goals, from a subtle refresh to deeper resurfacing.

Pairs well with

A peel to clear pigment, then microneedling to rebuild texture — in that order, never reversed.

What to expect

Start to finish, so there are no surprises on the day.

  1. 1
    Assessment

    We check skin type, sun history and pigmentation risk. Darker skin tones are treated with a more conservative protocol.

  2. 2
    Treatment · 20–30 min

    The solution is massaged in over several passes. You'll feel warmth and tingling, not burning.

  3. 3
    Days 1–5

    Mild tightness and a faint glow. PRX in particular does not cause visible flaking — that's the whole point of it.

  4. 4
    Weeks 2–6

    Sun-damage pigment lightens and texture evens out. Melasma is not treated this way — it is managed with a prescription compounded cream, because peeling at melasma tends to make it rebound.

Before you book

What would change this plan

Standard contraindications and precautions for this treatment — the questions you should expect from anyone offering it.

  • Are you pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding? Not while you're pregnant or nursing.
  • Have you ever had a severe allergic reaction — to a medication, an anaesthetic, or a previous injectable? Alla needs the details before anything is planned.
  • Do you take blood thinners, or daily aspirin? Not a barrier — a planning point.
  • Right now, do you have a cold sore, a skin infection, or an active breakout where you'd want treatment? Wait until the skin is clear.
  • Do you have an autoimmune condition, or take medication that suppresses your immune system? Usually workable, always discussed.
  • Do you scar badly — raised, thickened or keloid scars? Changes which resurfacing is sensible.
  • Have you taken isotretinoin (Accutane, Roaccutane) in the last six months? Wait it out.

Aftercare

The short list that protects your result. You'll get this in writing too.

  • SPF 50 for two weeks, reapplied — non-negotiable with any peel
  • No retinol, acids or scrubs for five days
  • Don't pick, ever, even if something flakes
  • Moisturise more than feels necessary
05

Myths, straightened out

What clients arrive believing — and what's actually true.

Peels always mean a week of shedding.
Deep peels do. PRX is a bio-revitalising peel — it works without the social downtime.
A peel will clear my melasma.
It will not, and it can make it worse. Melasma is hormonal and deep; peeling at it provokes rebound pigmentation. It is treated here with a prescription compounded cream for home use and strict daily SPF.
More burning means better results.
Injury isn't the goal, controlled stimulation is. Overdone peels cause the exact pigmentation they were meant to fix.

How this is handled here

What people actually arrive saying, and the approach taken — not individual patient histories.

Melasmaquoted at consultation

Melasma that got worse after peels elsewhere

The concern

Melasma is hormonally driven and sits deep. It is routinely treated as though it were surface pigment, and aggressive peeling provokes exactly the rebound darkening it was meant to clear.

The approach
  • A peel is not the primary treatment — PRX is a poor choice for melasma specifically
  • A prescription compounded melasma cream, dispensed for use at home
  • Strict daily SPF made a condition of treatment, not a suggestion
  • Reviewed before anything resurfacing is considered at all
Why

Managed rather than blitzed. Melasma recurs when the trigger is still present, so the plan is long-term control, not a course with an end date.

PRX-T33 peel$120 per session

An event six weeks away

The concern

A wedding, a milestone birthday, mother-of-the-bride. Six weeks is not enough runway to risk a treatment that can leave pigment behind if it goes wrong.

The approach
  • Deep peels declined at this timeline — the downside sits too close to the date
  • PRX-T33 instead: no visible shedding at any point
  • The final session scheduled a full two weeks before the day, never closer
  • No new products introduced in the last fortnight
Why

Brightness and evenness improve with no social downtime, and nothing is left to chance in the final two weeks.

General approach only. Individual results vary and every plan is decided at consultation.

Frequently asked

Will my skin peel a lot?

It depends on strength — many peels give a glow with only light flaking.

How many do I need?

One gives a refresh; a series deepens results. We'll advise.

Is there downtime?

Usually minimal — some light peeling for a few days with stronger peels.
