Chemical peels are skin-resurfacing procedures available at Define Dermatology Aesthetics in Melbourne. A chemical solution is applied to the skin to promote controlled exfoliation and skin renewal.
The depth of the peel — superficial, medium or deep — determines the level of treatment, expected downtime and individual suitability.
A consultation with our dermatologist is required to assess which type of chemical peel, if any, is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.
Superficial peels work within the epidermis (the outermost skin layer). They may be considered for concerns such as mild pigmentation, acne and uneven texture, with minimal expected downtime.
Medium-depth peels penetrate through the full epidermis into the upper dermis. They may be discussed for concerns including sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines and some acne scarring. Several days of redness and peeling are typically expected.
