Chemical Skin Peels
Advanced Skin Resurfacing for Clearer, Brighter & Healthier-Looking Skin
At KAST Medical Aesthetics, we believe healthy skin begins with renewal. As we age, the skin’s natural cell turnover slows down, allowing dull, damaged skin cells to build up on the surface. This can contribute to uneven texture, pigmentation, congestion, fine lines and a complexion that appears tired or lacklustre.
Chemical skin peels encourage controlled skin renewal by removing damaged surface cells and stimulating healthier new skin to emerge. The result is brighter, smoother and healthier-looking skin with improvements that continue as the skin regenerates.
Whether you’re looking to improve acne, pigmentation, signs of ageing or overall skin quality, every treatment is tailored to your individual skin concerns and goals.
What Are Chemical Skin Peels?
Chemical skin peels are advanced skin resurfacing treatments that use carefully selected acids to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin in a safe and controlled way.
As older skin cells are removed, the skin’s natural renewal process is stimulated, helping to improve texture, tone and overall skin quality. Depending on your concerns, different peel strengths and formulations can be selected to achieve the most appropriate outcome.
Why Are Chemical Skin Peels Different?
While many skincare products work primarily on the skin’s surface, chemical peels encourage the skin to actively renew itself.
This makes them particularly effective for concerns such as pigmentation, acne, uneven texture and early signs of ageing. Rather than simply exfoliating the skin, chemical peels help create healthier skin over time through controlled regeneration.
How Do Chemical Skin Peels Work?
A carefully selected peeling solution is applied to the skin to remove damaged surface cells and stimulate healthy skin renewal.
Treatment can help improve:
- Skin texture
- Skin tone
- Pigmentation
- Acne and congestion
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scarring
- Sun damage
- Overall skin radiance
The type and strength of peel recommended will depend on your skin type, concerns and desired outcome.
Who Are Chemical Skin Peels Suitable For?
Chemical skin peels are suitable for patients looking to improve overall skin quality or address specific skin concerns.
Treatment may be recommended for:
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Acne and breakouts
- Acne scarring
- Pigmentation
- Melasma
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Congested skin
A consultation allows us to assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate peel for your individual needs.
Obagi® Blue Peel Radiance
At KAST Medical Aesthetics, we offer the Obagi® Blue Peel Radiance, one of the most popular superficial chemical peels available.
Formulated with a blend of exfoliating acids and skin-renewing ingredients, including salicylic acid, glycolic acid and lactic acid, it helps improve skin clarity, reduce congestion and reveal a brighter, smoother complexion.
It is suitable for a wide range of skin types and is particularly effective for patients concerned about acne, pigmentation, dull skin, uneven texture and early signs of ageing.
Personalised Treatment Planning
Every chemical peel begins with a comprehensive consultation.
We’ll assess your skin condition, medical history, current skincare routine and treatment goals before recommending the most appropriate peel. While some patients benefit from a single treatment to refresh the complexion, others achieve the best results through a course of peels.
Where appropriate, chemical peels can also be incorporated into wider treatment plans alongside microneedling, IPL, laser treatments, Polynucleotides, Profhilo® and medical-grade skincare.
Our approach is always focused on achieving healthier skin safely and progressively.
What to Expect From Treatment
Treatment begins with cleansing and preparing the skin before the selected peel is carefully applied for a controlled period of time.
Most patients experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during treatment. Afterwards, the skin may appear slightly pink or feel tighter, while some patients experience light peeling over the following few days.
The amount of visible peeling varies between individuals and does not determine how effective the treatment has been.
You’ll also receive personalised aftercare advice to support healing and optimise your results.
When Will I See Results?
Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin within just a few days of treatment.
As the skin continues to renew itself, improvements in texture, pigmentation, congestion and overall skin quality become more noticeable over the following weeks.
Depending on your concerns, we may recommend a course of treatments to achieve the best possible results.
