Chemical Peels, Matched To Your Skin

Glycolic, lactic and body peels at a strength chosen for how your skin actually behaves — because on melanin-rich skin, the wrong depth creates the very pigmentation you came in to treat.

What It Is

A controlled exfoliation, taken to a chosen depth.

A chemical peel applies a cosmetic acid at a measured strength for a measured time, lifting away the dulled outer layer so the skin underneath renews faster than it would on its own.

The acid is not the interesting part. Depth is. Glycolic suits surface dullness and congestion, lactic is gentler and better tolerated by dry or reactive skin, and a body formulation is built for the thicker skin of the back, arms and underarms. Which one you need follows from your skin, not from which is strongest.

On Indian and melanin-rich skin this matters more than it does elsewhere. Push a peel deeper than the skin can comfortably recover from and the inflammation that follows can leave darker marks than the ones you arrived with. We would rather run a properly spaced course at a strength your skin tolerates than chase a dramatic peel and then spend the next six months treating the consequence.

How It Works

Loosen the surface, bring renewal forward.

01

The outer layer is loosened

The acid breaks the bonds holding dulled surface cells in place, so they shed rather than sitting there scattering light.

02

Renewal is brought forward

Clearing that layer signals the skin beneath to turn over sooner, and that is where the change in tone and clarity comes from.

03

Depth is the variable we control

Strength, contact time and the number of passes are set at each visit against how your skin responded to the last one.

Benefits

Why patients choose this treatment

Assessed, planned and supervised in clinic — never sold from a menu.

Depth Chosen Deliberately

Strength and contact time are set for your skin, not read off a fixed menu.

Acid Matched To The Concern

Glycolic, lactic or a body formulation, depending on what is actually going on.

Patch-Tested First

Reactive and melanin-rich skin is tested before a full-face peel is performed.

A Short Appointment

Most peels are done and neutralised inside half an hour.

Planned As A Course

Spaced and reviewed, because staged renewal is what holds up.

Clear About Its Limits

Where a peel is the wrong tool for your concern, we say so at assessment.

Your First Visit

What to expect

1

Consultation & Assessment

Dr. Saeema Shiraaz examines your skin, asks how it has reacted to exfoliation before, and decides which acid and what strength are appropriate — or whether a peel is the right route at all.

2

Your Personalised Plan

What is appropriate, in what order, and what it will cost is set out before anything begins. You will be told plainly if something is not going to help you.

3

The Session

The skin is cleansed and prepped, the peel is applied and timed, then neutralised. You may feel warmth or a light tingling while it is on.

4

Aftercare & Follow-Up

Aftercare is explained before you leave, and we review how your skin has responded before deciding the next step.

Patient Stories

In their words

“

On melanin-rich skin, a peel taken deeper than the skin can comfortably recover from can leave darker marks than the ones you came in with. Depth control is the entire craft.

How we work

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What patients usually ask before their first visit.

Will my skin visibly peel afterwards?

Often only lightly, and sometimes not at all. Visible sheeting is a function of depth, not of whether the peel worked — superficial peels renew skin without dramatic flaking.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually a short course spaced two to four weeks apart, then reviewed. The number depends on your concern and on how your skin responds to the first couple.

Is it safe for Indian skin?

Yes, when the acid, the strength and the spacing are chosen for melanin-rich skin and patch-tested first. The risk with deeper skin tones is post-inflammatory pigmentation from an over-aggressive peel, which is exactly what careful depth control avoids.

Does it hurt?

Most people describe warmth or a light tingling for the few minutes the peel is on. Stronger formulations feel more active, and the timing is adjusted accordingly.

What do I have to do afterwards?

Daily sun protection is not optional after a peel — freshly renewed skin pigments easily. The rest of the aftercare is explained before you leave.

Who isn't suitable?

Active infection or broken skin at the site, recent isotretinoin use, pregnancy for some formulations, and skin already inflamed from another treatment. Where a peel is not appropriate for you now, we will say so and revisit it later.
