We’re dedicated to helping our clients achieve radiant, youthful skin. Among our treatments, chemical peels stand out as a highly effective and versatile option for addressing various skin concerns. But is a chemical peel is the most suitable treatment for your skin needs?

Understanding Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are sophisticated skincare treatments that involve applying a carefully formulated chemical solution to the skin. This solution induces controlled exfoliation of the top layer of skin, which subsequently peels off, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. The process effectively addresses a multitude of skin concerns by improving the skin’s appearance and texture. The depth and intensity of the peel can be tailored to your specific needs, ranging from gentle surface treatments to more intensive procedures that penetrate deeper layers of the skin.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

Our chemical peel treatments can help with a wide range of skin concerns:

Fine lines and wrinkles: Chemical peels stimulate collagen production and cell turnover, which can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially under the eyes and around the mouth1
Acne and acne scars: By removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores, chemical peels can help control acne breakouts and improve the appearance of mild scars
Hyperpigmentation: Chemical peels can effectively target areas of uneven skin tone or discolouration, including age spots, freckles, and melasma
Sun damage: Years of sun exposure can leave your skin looking dull and damaged. Chemical peels can help reverse these effects by removing the damaged outer layer of skin
Enlarged pores: Chemical peels can help minimise the appearance of enlarged pores by deeply cleansing them and promoting skin cell turnover

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer

At Omniya, we provide a comprehensive range of chemical peel options to cater to different skin types and concerns:

Superficial peels: These gentle peels work on the outermost layer of the skin, providing light exfoliation. They’re ideal for those looking to brighten their complexion, improve mild skin texture issues, or maintain overall skin health
Medium-depth peels: These peels penetrate the upper part of the middle layer of skin, making them more effective for treating moderate skin issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, shallow acne scars, and more noticeable hyperpigmentation
Deep peels: Our most intensive option, deep peels penetrate to the lower dermal layer. They’re reserved for treating more severe skin concerns such as deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, or more pronounced acne scarring

Is a Chemical Peel Right for You?

While chemical peels can be an excellent option for many individuals, they may not be suitable for everyone. You might be a good candidate if:

You have specific skin concerns that chemical peels can address: If you’re dealing with issues like fine lines, uneven skin tone, acne scars, or sun damage, a chemical peel could be an effective solution
Your skin type is suitable: Generally, fair-skinned and light-haired patients are better candidates for chemical peels. However, those with darker skin can also achieve good results, depending on the type of problem being treated
Your skin is generally healthy and free from active infections: Chemical peels work best on skin that isn’t currently dealing with active acne breakouts, cold sores, or other skin infections
You’re not pregnant or breastfeeding: As a precautionary measure, we typically don’t recommend chemical peels for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
You haven’t recently used certain medications: If you’ve been using strong acne medications like isotretinoin, you may need to wait before having a chemical peel to avoid potential complications

Preparing for Your Chemical Peel

If you decide to proceed with a chemical peel, our team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to prepare. This may include:

Avoiding certain skincare products in the days leading up to your treatment
Staying out of the sun and using high-SPF sunscreen
Stopping the use of retinoids or other exfoliating products
Discussing any medications you’re currently taking with your practitioner

What to Expect During and After the Treatment

During the treatment, you may experience a burning sensation that lasts about five to ten minutes, followed by a stinging sensation. Cool compresses can help ease this discomfort. After the treatment, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so it’s crucial to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and limit sun exposure. The recovery time and peeling process will depend on the depth of your peel.
