Chemical peel use medically controlled acids to gently exfoliate damaged skin, clear clogged pores, and improve issues like pigmentation, acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven texture. A qualified doctor applies a safe, measured solution that encourages faster cell turnover and collagen repair. Suitable for many skin types, chemical peel deliver predictable, noticeable improvements when performed by trained professionals.
At GLOJAS Specialist Clinic, chemical peel are performed by LCP-certified aesthetic doctors using FDA-approved formulations and evidence-based protocols. With over 27 years of clinical experience, our team ensures safe application, personalised treatment depth, and predictable results for various skin concerns.
Chemical peel are skin treatments that use carefully selected chemical solutions—often AHAs, BHAs, TCA, or phenol—to remove damaged layers of the skin. This controlled exfoliation encourages fresh skin regeneration, evens out tone, smoothens texture, reduces pigmentation, and softens scars. Peels come in different depths—superficial, medium, and deep—to match various skin concerns and goals.
According to the American Society of Dermatology, chemical peel remain one of the top three non-surgical skin treatments worldwide, with consistent year-on-year demand.
Chemical peels are recommended for patients with:
Dull, uneven skin tone
Mild to moderate acne
Post-acne marks and shallow scars
Fine lines and early wrinkles
Sunspots and pigmentation
Melasma (with proper medical guidance)
Rough or uneven texture
Enlarged pores
Freckles and age spots
Early signs of sun damage
Most people consider peels when skincare products alone are no longer giving the desired results.
Chemical peels help improve conditions linked to:
Chronic sun exposure and UV damage
Hormonal changes such as melasma
Acne inflammation and clogged pores
Natural aging and reduced collagen
Slow skin cell turnover
Environmental pollutants, smoking, stress
Post-inflammatory marks caused by picking acne
A chemical peel creates a controlled micro-injury to the skin’s outer layers, triggering a repair response. This process:
Removes dead skin cells
Speeds up exfoliation
Activates collagen-producing fibroblasts
Enhances hydration
Reduces excess pigment production
Clears pores and reduces acne-causing bacteria
The skin becomes smoother, brighter, and more even over several sessions.
Reduced pigmentation, melasma & uneven tone
Smoother texture and refined pores
Acne and acne-mark reduction
Brighter, more youthful skin glow
Reduced fine lines & early aging signs
Collagen stimulation for long-term renewal
Common acids: glycolic, lactic, mandelic, salicylic
Minimal to no downtime
Suitable for dull skin, mild pigmentation, clogged pores, and early aging signs
Typically TCA 20–35% or Jessner’s solution
Peeling lasts 3–7 days
Effective for deeper pigmentation, moderate scars, and more visible wrinkles
High-strength TCA or phenol
Longer downtime and requires close medical supervision
Best for severe wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, and certain precancerous lesions
Skin assessment by a doctor
Discussion of concerns (melasma, acne, aging, etc.)
Pre-treatment priming may be recommended for best results
Skin cleansing and degreasing
Application of peel solution (1–10 minutes depending on formulation)
Mild tingling or warmth sensation
Peeling starts 1–3 days post-treatment
Avoid sun exposure; use SPF 50 daily

Chemical peels are widely used and safe when done by trained doctors, but possible side effects include:
Redness, swelling, or stinging
Dryness and temporary peeling
Increased sun sensitivity
Short-term darkening (PIH)
Rare complications: infection, scarring, persistent pigmentation changes
Deep peels using phenol require cardiac monitoring due to systemic absorption.
Stop retinoids 3–5 days prior
Avoid waxing and abrasive skincare
Apply daily sunscreen
Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers
Do not peel or pick flaking skin
Wear SPF 50 daily
Skip heavy makeup for 24–48 hours
Avoid saunas, vigorous exercise, and swimming for 48 hours
Proper aftercare reduces PIH risk and supports healthy skin regeneration.

Severe or persistent pain
Pus, oozing, fever
