Chemical Peels Available in Glenwood

Roxy selects the right peel type and strength for your skin at your free consultation — here are the main peels available at our clinic.

Featured Treatment

BioRePeel

The most advanced peel we offer — BioRePeel is a revolutionary 2-phase TCA peel that combines chemical exfoliation with active biostimulation. Unlike traditional peels, it doesn't just remove dead skin — it actively stimulates new collagen and elastin production while rebuilding the skin's natural barrier. Suitable for all skin types, minimal downtime, and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and body.

Pigmentation Acne & Scarring Ageing Texture All Skin Types
Superficial Peel

AHA / Glycolic Peel

Alpha hydroxy acid peels — including glycolic and lactic acid — provide gentle but effective exfoliation of the outermost skin layer. Ideal for first-time peel clients, dull skin, mild pigmentation, and general skin brightening. Virtually no downtime — skin may appear slightly pink for a few hours. An excellent starter peel for clients new to skin resurfacing.

Brightening Mild Pigmentation No Downtime
Medium Peel

Salicylic Acid Peel

A BHA peel with outstanding results for oily and acne-prone skin. Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores, dissolving excess oil and congestion, reducing active breakouts, and improving post-acne marks and scarring. An excellent choice for clients dealing with persistent acne or congested skin.

Acne-Prone Skin Oily Skin Post-Acne Marks
Advanced Peel

TCA Peel

Trichloroacetic acid peels work at a deeper level — highly effective for moderate pigmentation, sun damage, deeper acne scarring, and advanced signs of ageing. TCA peels require more downtime (5–10 days of visible peeling) but deliver more dramatic, longer-lasting results. Roxy assesses suitability carefully at consultation.

What Chemical Peels Treat

Chemical peels are one of the most versatile skin treatments available — addressing a wide range of concerns in a single, controlled protocol.

Hyperpigmentation

Among the most effective treatments for sun spots, age spots, post-inflammatory marks, and uneven skin tone. The acid solution breaks down melanin clusters and accelerates turnover of pigmented cells for a visibly clearer complexion.

Melasma

Hormonal pigmentation that appears as symmetrical dark patches responds well to a carefully managed course of chemical peels combined with the right home care protocol. Roxy designs melasma treatment plans with particular care and expertise.

Acne Scarring

Chemical peels resurface the skin and reduce the appearance of post-acne marks and shallow scarring — particularly effective when combined with microneedling as part of a comprehensive acne scar treatment plan.

Active Acne & Congestion

Salicylic acid peels penetrate pores to dissolve congestion, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts while simultaneously improving the appearance of existing marks.

Fine Lines & Skin Ageing

By stimulating collagen and accelerating cell renewal, chemical peels visibly soften fine lines, improve skin firmness, and restore a more youthful, radiant complexion.

Dull & Uneven Skin Tone

Even without a specific skin concern, chemical peels are outstanding for anyone wanting brighter, more even, more luminous skin. A single session restores radiance — a course delivers lasting transformation.

Your Chemical Peel — Step by Step

Exactly what happens during your chemical peel appointment at our Glenwood clinic.

01

Free Consultation & Skin Assessment

Roxy analyses your skin type, concerns, and goals — then selects the exact peel type and strength that will deliver the best results safely. No commitment required.

02

Skin Preparation

Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped before the peel is applied — removing any oils, SPF, or product residue that could affect even penetration of the peel solution.

03

Peel Application

The carefully selected acid solution is applied evenly. You may experience mild tingling, warmth, or a temporary stinging sensation — this is normal and indicates the peel is working.

04

Neutralisation

The peel is left on for a precise, controlled time before being neutralised and removed. Roxy manages the timing carefully based on your skin's response — ensuring maximum results with minimum risk.

05

Soothing & Recovery Serums

Post-peel, the skin is treated with calming, hydrating serums and SPF to support recovery and protect the freshly resurfaced skin. Any redness at this stage is normal and temporary.

06

Home Care Protocol

Roxy provides a precise home care protocol — the right products, how to use them, and what to avoid — to protect your results and keep your skin calm between sessions.

What to Expect — Before, During & After

An honest, clear timeline of your chemical peel journey — from consultation to full results.

Before

Free Consultation

Roxy assesses your skin and selects the right peel protocol. She'll advise on any pre-peel home care (such as retinol or vitamin C) that should be paused in the days leading up to your treatment.

During

The Treatment (30–60 Minutes)

The peel is applied, monitored, and neutralised. You may experience mild tingling or warmth — Roxy monitors your skin's response throughout to ensure safe, controlled results.

Day 1–2

Redness & Sensitivity

Your skin may appear flushed or feel slightly tight immediately after the peel. This is completely normal and typically resolves within 24–48 hours for superficial peels.

Day 3–7

Peeling Phase

Depending on peel depth, you may notice light-to-moderate flaking as the old skin sheds. This is the treatment working — resist the urge to pick and keep skin hydrated.

Week 2

Fresh Skin Revealed

Once peeling is complete, the new skin underneath is noticeably clearer, brighter, and smoother. Pigmentation is reduced, texture is improved, and skin appears more even and radiant.

After 3–6 Sessions

Cumulative, Lasting Results

Each peel builds on the last. Over a full course, pigmentation, scarring, and skin quality improve dramatically — delivering genuinely transformative and long-lasting results.

Aftercare — Do's & Don'ts

Proper aftercare is essential to protect your skin and get the most out of your chemical peel treatment in Glenwood.

✓ Do

Apply SPF Every Day

Freshly peeled skin is significantly more vulnerable to UV damage. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every morning without fail — this protects your results and prevents new pigmentation forming.

✓ Do

Keep Skin Hydrated

Use the gentle, hydrating moisturiser recommended by Roxy to keep your skin nourished and calm throughout the peeling phase. Well-hydrated skin heals faster and more evenly.

✓ Do

Use a Gentle Cleanser

Cleanse with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser twice daily during the recovery period. Avoid anything foaming, exfoliating, or with active ingredients until Roxy gives you the all-clear.

✓ Do

Follow Roxy's Protocol

Use the exact products recommended in the order specified. The right home care during and between sessions is a significant part of achieving the best possible results from your peel course.

✗ Don't

Don't Pick or Peel the Skin

Never manually pick, peel, or rub flaking skin. This can cause scarring and pigmentation. Allow the skin to shed naturally — it will happen on its own within a few days.

✗ Don't

Avoid Actives for 5–7 Days

No retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, or any exfoliating acids for at least 5–7 days after your peel. These will irritate sensitised post-treatment skin and can cause adverse reactions.

✗ Don't

Avoid Direct Sun Exposure

Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid sunbeds for at least 2 weeks after your peel. Peeled skin is highly vulnerable to UV damage — even brief sun exposure can trigger new pigmentation.

✗ Don't

No Heat or Steam

Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and intense exercise for 48 hours after your peel. Heat can cause flushing and irritation — and in darker skin types, may increase the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
