Chemical Peels

A Chemical Peel is a type of skin treatment that helps to even out the skin tone, reduce wrinkles, sun damage, and other skin imperfections. The treatment involves applying a chemical peel solution to the skin which exfoliates the top layer of skin, revealing a brighter and smoother complexion underneath.

The Chemical Peel solution is applied to the skin, and it works by exfoliating the top layer of skin, revealing a brighter and smoother complexion underneath. The solution is left on the skin for a specified amount of time and then removed. The skin’s underlying layers are left exposed and the body’s natural healing process begins to regenerate the skin.

Chemical Peels can help to improve the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, acne, mild superficial scarring, poor skin texture and other skin imperfections. After a treatment, patients can expect to see a more even skin tone, brighter complexion, and a smoother texture.

At Bondi Junction Cosmetic Clinic, we offer two types of peels suitable for a range of skin concerns. Jessner Peels are suitable for oily and acne-prone skin types, working to reduce dark spots, evening out the skin tone, reducing the appearance of scarring and reducing acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface.

Lactic Acid Peels gently exfoliates the skin’s surface to remove dead skin cells that may cause the skin to appear dull. This peel is also beneficial for the treatment of mild hyperpigmentation and brown spots. Lactic Acid Peels are a clinic favourite to rejuvenate the skin and deliver a glow prior to an event as it requires no downtime.

The length of the treatment depends on the type of peel being used and the area being treated, but typically takes between 15-30 minutes.

We recommend monthly peels to maintain your results; some patients may require more frequent treatments depending on their skin type and concern. This will be discussed during your consultation.

Chemical peels can be used on the face, neck, chest, back and hands.

The level of discomfort varies based on the type of peel being used, but typically chemical peels are not considered to be painful.

Chemical peels are best suited for those who are looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, sun damage, and other skin imperfections with little to no downtime.

Downtime varies between types of peels and their strength. Some peels are great pre-event with no downtime, some stronger peels will cause peeling and flaking of the skin lasting for a few days.
