Chemical Peels

Q2: How do cosmetic peels work?

Cosmetic peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layers to exfoliate and peel off. This process stimulates new skin cell growth and collagen production, resulting in improved skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Q3: What skin concerns can cosmetic peels address?

A3: At Inside Out Dermatology we use Dermacosmetica cosmetic peels that can address a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne and acne scars
• Hyperpigmentation and dark spots
• Sun damage
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Enlarged pores

Q4: What types of cosmetic peels are available at Inside Out Dermatology?

We offer several types of cosmetic peels, including:

• Light Peels: Gentle exfoliation for a refreshed and glowing complexion.
• Medium Peels: Deeper exfoliation to target more pronounced skin concerns.
• Deep Peels: Intensive treatment for significant skin rejuvenation and correction.
• Pigment control peels: specifically formulated for those with melasma and hyperpigmentation. 

Q5: What can I expect during a cosmetic peel treatment?

During a cosmetic peel treatment, your skin will be cleansed and the peel solution will be carefully applied. You may experience a mild tingling or burning sensation as the solution works on your skin. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the type of peel.

Q6: What should I do to prepare for a cosmetic peel?

To prepare for a cosmetic peel, it is important to avoid sun exposure and discontinue the use of certain skincare products, such as retinoids and exfoliants, for a few days before the treatment. Your provider will give you specific instructions based on your skin type and the type of peel you are receiving.  If unsure please book in with our dermal clinician. 

Q7: What is the recovery process like after a cosmetic peel?

Recovery time varies depending on the depth of the peel. Light peels may have minimal downtime, while medium and deep peels can involve several days of peeling and redness. It is crucial to follow post-treatment care instructions, including moisturising and protecting your skin from the sun.

Q8: Are cosmetic peels safe for all skin types?

While cosmetic peels are generally safe for most skin types, it is important to have a consultation with our dermal clinician to determine the best peel for your specific skin concerns and type. Certain conditions, such as active infections or extremely sensitive skin, may require alternative treatments.

Q9: How often should I get a cosmetic peel?

The frequency of cosmetic peels depends on the type of peel and your individual skin needs. Light peels can be done monthly, while medium and deep peels are typically recommended every few months. Your dermal clinician will create a personalised treatment plan for optimal results.
