Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels

Solutions that treat the most common aesthetic conditions and give the skin luminosity and turgidity, improving its texture and attenuating the main signs of ageing and skin imperfections.

Chemical Peels Introduction

At The Grove Skin and Laser Clinic, our chemical peels are designed to tackle a range of skin concerns, including acne, scarring, pigmentation, and dullness. These treatments work by exfoliating the skin, promoting cell renewal, and revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.
 

We start with a thorough consultation to assess your skin and create a personalised treatment plan. From preparation to aftercare, our expert practitioners guide you every step of the way, helping you achieve healthier, more radiant skin.

Conditions Treated with Chemical Peels

Peels can help with the following skin conditions: 

  • Acne: a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells causing blackheads and whiteheads. 
  • Acne scarring: Trauma from having acne, resulting in pigmentation and pitted marks.
  • Freckles: a cluster of cells which have produced more melanin. They’re prominent on  people with fair skin and most common in children. They’re caused by exposure to  the sun. 
  • Post-inflammatory marks: any dark mark that is left on the skin after a burn, spot,  cut or other injury has healed due to the trauma the skin has endured. Acne scars also come under this category. 
  • Rosacea and sensitive skin: Inflamed skin condition that causes a rash, redness,  pimples, and visible blood vessels, usually on the face.
  • Skin dullness: Grey dull looking skin, peels helps brighten lackluster skin.
  • Sun spots/age spots: a result of exposure to the sun over a long period of time.

Chemical Peels Treatment Process

Consultation needed with our experienced skin practioners, to introduce you to the the  world of peels. We use our skin analysis photo machine to assess the quality of skin. The  partitioner will select a chemical peel protocol for your concerns. 

Further photos will be taken same day as consultation to document your baseline. 

A selective skin preparation kit will be mandatory to all patients and explained during  consultation. This needs to be used for 2 weeks before any chemical peel. 

Second appointment – Two/four weeks after consultation and the mandatory use of the  skin prep kit, we can perform the first peel from the chosen chemical peel journey.  

The peel journey continues depending on selected chemical treatment plan. Each session a  small review time is given for you to feedback to the practioner about your experience  between last session. This is feedback guides the full treatment journey.

At Home – The results continue further at home by using skincare.

FAQ'S

( Q )
How long will it take to see the results?  

The changes in the skin start from the use of the skincare prep kit. Chemical peels alongside the use of the skincare kits increase results by reducing breakouts, inflammation, reduction in fine lines and smoother texture of skin in the first couple of sessions. As we are trying to re-educate the skin, it is important to listen to our specialists and to continue a home skincare treatment.

How Much are Chemical Peels? 

This depends on brand of chemical peels chosen.
