Chemical peels are highly effective treatments designed to address a variety of skin concerns on both the face and body. These treatments use a range of tailored chemical solutions to promote skin renewal, refine texture, rejuvenate the complexion, and address skin damage. By stimulating exfoliation, chemical peels encourage the regeneration of fresh skin cells, making them ideal for treating everything from acne and pigmentation to signs of aging.
At Melbourne Skin Boutique, we offer Lira Clinical Peels, which are specifically formulated to promote cell turnover, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, and improve the appearance of acne and scarring. These peels can help rejuvenate your skin, delivering a revitalized and radiant complexion.
Certain peels may require preparation, depending on their intensity and the specific concerns you're addressing. Superficial or light peels generally do not require prepping, but a tailored skincare routine may be recommended to optimize results. For more intense peels (medium/deep), preparation with a specific skincare regimen for 2-4 weeks is necessary to ensure optimal results and minimize risks. These steps will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
Chemical peels can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
Chemical peels are generally safe, but certain conditions and medications may prevent or delay treatment. Contraindications include:
Chemical peels are generally well-tolerated, with most clients experiencing little discomfort. Some deeper peels may cause a mild stinging sensation during application, but this usually subsides quickly.
Chemical peels are safe when performed by a trained professional. However, improper pre and post-care can result in side effects, such as pigmentation issues. It is important to follow all care instructions provided by your clinician.
For optimal results, and to reduce any risks, follow these essential guidelines:
Immediately after your chemical peel, your skin may appear red and feel sunburned, with redness lasting from 2-24 hours, depending on the depth of the peel. Over the next few days (Days 2-5), you may experience tightness, dryness, and mild to moderate flaking. Darkening of the skin can occur before peeling, and mild breakouts are also possible due to the skin's renewal process.
For maximum results, chemical peels are typically performed every 2-4 weeks, depending on your skin concerns and the type of peel being used. Your clinician will advise on the ideal treatment plan based on your skin's needs.
