Reveal Radiant, Flawless Skin with the Power of Chemical Peels
Reveal Your Radiance
Achieve smoother, clearer skin with our gentle yet powerful chemical peels.
What it is
A medical peel, or chemical peel, is a treatment where a carefully formulated chemical blend is applied to your skin to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. Depending on your skin type and specific concerns, different types and strengths of chemical peels are used. The blend is left on for 15-20 minutes, followed by the application of a customised mask to soothe and nourish your skin. The entire procedure usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes. After the treatment, you’ll enjoy a visibly smoother, clearer, and more radiant complexion, leaving you with a refreshed, rejuvenated, and glowing feel.
Who it’s for
Medical-grade chemical peels are suitable for anyone looking to improve their skin’s texture, tone, and overall radiance without invasive procedures. They’re particularly beneficial for those dealing with pigmentation, acne, breakouts, congestion, or early signs of ageing.
These treatments can be tailored to suit all skin types and concerns, making them an ideal choice for both first-time clients and those seeking regular, results-driven skin maintenance and rejuvenation.
The science behind it
Medical peels use a chemical solution to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, exfoliating the surface and revealing smoother skin underneath. This process stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, encouraging the growth of fresh, healthy skin. The type of chemical solution, its PH and its concentration determine the depth of the peel, ranging from superficial to deep. Common ingredients in chemical peels include glycollic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and mandelic acid.
Preparation
- Avoid Sun Exposure and Tanning: Refrain from sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before the chemical peel.
- Discontinue Potent Skincare Products: Stop using retinoids, exfoliants, and other potent skincare products three days prior to the treatment.
- Pre-Peel Skincare Regimen: Your practitioner may recommend a specific skincare regimen to prepare your skin for the peel.
- Avoid Other Treatments: Refrain from other treatments, such as waxing, at least one week before your appointment.
- Shaving for Males: For male clients, please shave the treatment area before the treatment.
Aftercare
Aftercare instructions – chemical peel
- Hot water & exercise: Avoid hot showers for 24 hours and skip vigorous workouts, saunas, steam rooms, and pools for seven days to prevent irritation.
- Avoid direct sun exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight and always wear broad-spectrum SPF for protection.
- Gentle cleansing: Use a mild, non-abrasive cleanser, followed by your moisturiser and sunscreen.
- Avoid picking: If you experience any peeling, allow your skin to shed naturally. Picking can lead to scarring or infection.
- No exfoliation: Avoid scrubs, exfoliants, and retinoids for at least seven days.
- Skip makeup: Avoid makeup until redness and peeling subside. If needed, use mineral makeup with clean applicators.
- No other skin treatments: Avoid waxing, laser treatments, or any resurfacing procedures for at least 2 weeks before and after your chemical peel.
What to expect after a chemical peel
- Skin sensitivity: Your skin may feel slightly pink, dry, or sensitive after treatment. This is completely normal and should ease within a few hours.
- Peeling (rare): Most of our chemical peels do not cause peeling, except for Deep Sea Peel. If peeling occurs, avoid picking and allow the skin to heal naturally.
- Expect skin purging: Some breakouts may occur as your skin purges impurities to the surface. This is normal and temporary. Avoid picking—your skin will heal naturally.

Benefits of Chemical Peel
Improves Skin Texture
Chemical peels effectively smooth out rough skin and diminish uneven texture, resulting in a more refined and even complexion.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By stimulating collagen production, chemical peels help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Boosts Skin Brightness
By removing dead skin cells and encouraging the turnover of fresh, healthy cells, chemical peels boost the skin’s natural radiance. This results in a brighter, more luminous complexion.
Treats Acne and Acne Scarring
The exfoliating action of chemical peels helps to unclog pores and reduce acne breakouts. Additionally, they can improve the appearance of acne scars by smoothing the skin’s surface and promoting new cell growth.
Minimises Sunspots and Age Spots
Can reduce dark spots, age spots, and melasma by targeting the pigment-producing cells in the skin. This treatment helps to even out skin tone and improve overall complexion clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a chemical peel painful?
You may experience only mild sensations of warmth or tingling during the treatment. Afterward, the skin might feel slightly sensitive or dry, but this usually subsides quickly.
How many chemical peel sessions are needed?
The number of sessions needed to achieve visible results varies based on the type of peel and individual skin concerns. Light peels often require multiple sessions, typically 3 to 6, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, to notice significant improvements.
Can chemical peels be used on all skin types?
Our diverse selection of chemical peels at Medix Skincare & Laser Clinic in Melbourne can be tailored to address various skin types and conditions, ensuring personalised and effective skincare solutions.
What should I avoid before the treatment?
- To prepare for your chemical peel, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before the procedure.
- Discontinue the use of exfoliants, retinoids, and treatments like waxing one week prior to your appointment.
Many clients notice immediate improvements in skin texture and radiance after their first session. Typically, a series of 3 to 6 treatments yields significant enhancements in skin tone and clarity and a reduction in fine lines, leading to a more youthful complexion.
Can I wear makeup after the treatment?
Is there any downtime?
At Medix Skincare & Laser Clinic in Melbourne, most of our chemical peels require minimal downtime, with potential redness and sensitivity lasting up to 24 hours. However, deeper peels, such as Deep Sea Peel, may involve a few days of skin shedding. It’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
How should I care for my skin post-treatment?
- Protect your skin by avoiding direct sun exposure and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen.
- Apply your recommended moisturiser to support your skin healing.
- Refrain from using exfoliating products and undergoing other treatments on the treated area for at least one week to prevent irritation.
