Chemical Peel
Chemical peels are a versatile skin treatment designed to rejuvenate and revitalise the skin by removing damaged outer layers. This process helps to tackle a wide range of skin concerns, including acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and dullness, leaving your skin brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking.
At The Clinica, we offer customised chemical peels tailored to your unique skin type and condition. Our expert practitioners ensure safe and effective results, providing a fresh, healthy glow.
What is it?
A chemical peel involves the application of a specialised solution to the skin, causing the top layers to exfoliate and peel away over time. This process encourages skin regeneration, revealing a fresh, healthier layer beneath. The treatment can be light, medium, or deep, depending on the condition being treated and the desired results.
Chemical peels are highly effective for treating acne and acne scars, minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin tone and texture. They can also address sun damage, pigmentation irregularities, and signs of ageing.

Treatment length
A chemical peel session typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type and depth of the peel.
Recovery time
Recovery varies with peel intensity. Light peels require minimal downtime, with redness and flaking subsiding within a few days. Medium to deep peels may involve a recovery period of one to two weeks.
How painful is it?
Most patients experience mild discomfort, such as tingling or a warming sensation during the peel, which subsides quickly. For deeper peels, a topical anaesthetic may be applied.
