FAQ's

A chemical peel is a treatment designed to improve skin texture and tone. During the procedure, a carefully selected acid solution is applied to the skin, lowering the pH and loosening the connections between dead skin cells. This process stimulates new cell growth and encourages the superficial layers of dead skin to peel away, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion. Our medical grade AlumierMD Peel Treatments represent the next generation of clinical exfoliation. With a variety of peels featuring unique ingredient complexes, we can customise your treatment program to target specific skin concerns, including aging, pigmentation, or acne.

What Conditions Do Chemical Peels Treat?

Expected Results

FAQ's

After your treatment, your skin may appear pink, which typically subsides within a few hours. It is crucial to avoid exfoliating, picking, or using active skincare products while your skin heals. Daily use of SPF is essential, and we recommend a simple, soothing skincare routine for the first week. It is best to wait 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to recover.
