Chemical peels
What Are Cliniccare Chemical Peels?
Cliniccare chemical peels are gentle, professional-grade resurfacing treatments designed to target specific skin concerns using advanced, low-irritation formulas. Each peel—Pure, Glow, and Refresh—uses a blend of active acids to exfoliate the skin, clear congestion, brighten pigmentation, or smooth signs of ageing. These peels work on a cellular level to rejuvenate the skin with minimal discomfort and visible, healthy radiance.
How often should I have a chemical peel?
Most clients benefit from a peel every 2–4 weeks, depending on their skin type and goals. A course of 4–6 treatments is typically recommended for best results, with maintenance sessions every few months.
What are the common myths about chemical peels?
A common myth is that chemical peels always cause heavy peeling or downtime—Cliniccare peels are specifically formulated to be gentle yet effective, so visible peeling is minimal or sometimes not noticeable at all. Another misconception is that peels thin the skin; in reality, they encourage healthy cell turnover and collagen production, helping the skin become stronger and smoother over time.
What is the downtime for chemical peels?
Downtime is generally very minimal. You may experience slight redness, tightness, or a mild “windburn” sensation for a few hours to a day. Some clients may see light, flaky shedding over the following days, which is completely normal and part of the renewal process.
Is there any pre treatment care for chemical peels that I need to consider?
Avoid retinols, exfoliating acids, and strong active skincare for at least 7 days before your peel. Keep the skin hydrated and avoid direct sun exposure or tanning. If possible, arrive makeup-free and ensure the skin is not irritated or broken.
What is the aftercare advice for chemical peels?
Post-peel, focus on hydrating and soothing products—no exfoliants, retinols, vitamin C, or active formulas for at least 7 days. Keep the skin protected and moisturised, and use SPF daily, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure. Avoid heat, saunas, vigorous exercise, and swimming for 24 hours to reduce irritation.
