A Chemical Peel is one of the most time-tested and clinically validated skin resurfacing treatments available. By applying a precisely formulated acid solution to the skin, we accelerate cell turnover, dissolve dead layers, and reveal a fresher, brighter, more even complexion beneath — customised entirely to your skin's needs.
A Chemical Peel is a medical-grade skin resurfacing treatment in which a carefully selected chemical solution — typically an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) — is applied to the skin to dissolve the bonds holding dead and damaged skin cells together. As these layers shed, they reveal the healthier, younger-looking skin beneath. At Aesthetics by Ameera, all peels are customised to your skin type, tone, and primary concern — whether that's hyperpigmentation, acne, texture, ageing, or melasma — ensuring safe, targeted, and effective results.
Chemical peeling agents work by breaking down the intercellular bonds between keratinocytes in the outer layers of the skin. AHAs such as glycolic and lactic acid work at the surface level to brighten and hydrate. BHAs like salicylic acid are oil-soluble and penetrate deep into pores, making them ideal for acne and congestion. TCA penetrates to the mid-dermis for more significant resurfacing. At the correct concentration and pH, these acids trigger controlled exfoliation and stimulate the skin's natural regeneration process — producing new collagen, accelerating cell turnover, and improving the skin's overall structure and tone over a course of treatments.
Accelerated cell turnover removes dull, pigmented surface layers to reveal a noticeably brighter and more radiant skin tone.
Highly effective at fading dark spots, sun damage, post-acne marks, and melasma across a course of treatments.
Dissolves dead skin buildup and refines rough, uneven skin texture for a noticeably softer and smoother surface.
BHA peels penetrate deep into pores to dissolve sebum, clear congestion, and reduce active acne and blackheads.
Stimulates new collagen production and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity.
Peel type, strength, and formulation are selected specifically for your skin type, tone, and individual concerns.
Every step is designed to ensure your comfort, safety, and the best possible results. Here's what to expect during your visit.
Your specialist assesses your skin type, tone (Fitzpatrick scale), primary concerns, and medical history to select the most appropriate peel type and strength.
The face is double-cleansed and degreased with a pre-peel solution to ensure even penetration of the chemical agent across the entire treatment area.
The chemical solution is applied evenly using a brush or gauze. You may feel a tingling or mild stinging sensation — this is normal and indicates the peel is working.
At the precise timing — determined by your specialist based on your skin's response — the peel is neutralised and removed, stopping the exfoliation at the correct depth.
A calming, hydrating mask is applied post-peel to reduce sensitivity, restore the skin barrier, and provide immediate comfort and moisture.
You'll receive a detailed aftercare kit and instructions. Peeling typically occurs over 2–7 days depending on peel depth — this is the renewal process at work.
