Chemical peels use carefully selected acids to accelerate skin cell turnover, improving texture, tone, and overall skin quality. The depth and formulation of the peel is chosen in relation to the specific concern being addressed and the individual's skin type.
Our Approach
At Clinic Selnau, chemical peels are prescribed and supervised by a physician. The selection of peel type and concentration is based on a thorough assessment of skin quality, phototype, and the outcome required. Surface-level peels used for general brightening differ significantly from deeper medical-grade treatments used for specific skin conditions.
Indications
- Uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines and superficial texture irregularities
- Post-acne scarring and discolouration
- General skin quality improvement
The Treatment
The peel is applied in a controlled clinical environment. Depending on the depth, there may be a period of skin shedding and mild sensitivity in the days following treatment. Downtime varies by formulation and is discussed in advance.
Consultation
A skin assessment is required before any chemical peel treatment. We discuss your skin history, current concerns, and treatment goals to determine the most appropriate protocol. A preparatory skin care routine may be recommended before treatment begins.
