A clinically guided skin-renewal treatment designed to improve texture, tone, and clarity through controlled exfoliation and regeneration.
Chemical peels are medical-grade skin resurfacing treatments designed to improve texture, tone, acne activity, and pigmentation irregularities through controlled exfoliation.
At Esmée, chemical peels are clinically classified based on skin concern and treatment intent. Peel categories may include Acne Control Peels to address active breakouts and congestion, Pigment Control Peels for uneven tone and melasma management, and Resurfacing Peels to improve skin texture, fine lines, and overall renewal. Peel selection is guided by skin type, sensitivity, and recovery tolerance to support safe, appropriate renewal.
Based on assessment, a suitable peel formulation like salicylic for acne or TCA for resurfacing is selected to match skin needs. Treatment depth and exposure time are planned carefully, with session frequency outlined for gradual improvement. Pre- and post-care requirements are explained clearly. Plans prioritise safety and predictable healing.

During the session, skin is cleansed and prepared for even application. The peel solution is applied in a controlled manner to target the desired depth, with skin response closely monitored throughout. Neutralisation occurs when appropriate to halt the process. Patients may experience temporary warmth or tingling.
Aftercare emphasizes gentle skincare with hydrating products while avoiding irritants to protect the skin barrier. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sun protection prevents sensitivity and sustains results, with temporary redness typically resolving in hours using cool compresses if needed. Follow-ups every 4-6 weeks optimize improvement, requiring no downtime.
Aftercare includes barrier-repair and soothing skincare guidance to support healing, alongside sun avoidance and protection protocols to prevent pigmentation issues. Activity and product restrictions are advised where needed, with a follow-up review to assess healing and response. Downtime varies depending on peel depth.
