Discuss skin texture and tone with personalised care in Parramatta or Chatswood. Your practitioner will assess whether a peel is suitable and explain the formulation, expected recovery, risks and aftercare before you decide.

Understanding
chemical peels.
Overview
Chemical peels use a solution to exfoliate the skin. Formulations and depths differ, so the choice depends on your concern, skin condition and capacity for recovery.
A consultation explains the proposed approach and alternatives before treatment is considered.
Suitability
Your skin tone, sensitivity, previous reactions and medical history affect suitability and the risk of pigment changes. Share your medicines, skincare products and recent procedures.
Ask about the practitioner’s experience treating skin like yours.
Preparation
Request instructions specific to the proposed peel, including any skincare changes and sun precautions. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice from your treating clinician.
What to expect
Redness, flaking and recovery time vary with the peel. Possible complications include persistent redness, pigment changes, infection and scarring.
Discuss likely benefits, limitations, downtime and cost. Results vary, and a peel may not be the right option.
