Chemical peels are a clinically proven skin treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and clarity. At VE Aesthetics, our medical-grade chemical peel treatments gently exfoliate the outermost layers of the skin to reduce acne, unclog pores, lift pigmentation, and reveal a more radiant complexion — all without painful extractions or extended downtime.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure that uses specially formulated acids to exfoliate dead skin cells, dissolve surface impurities, and stimulate skin renewal. The treatment helps address a range of common skin concerns including:
- Acne and clogged pores
- Acne scars and post-inflammatory marks
- Pigmentation, age spots, and sun damage
- Dull, uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores and excess oil
- Fine lines and early signs of ageing
Depending on your skin concerns, our doctors will recommend a suitable type of peel — such as salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or lactic acid — to achieve the best results.
How Chemical Peels Work?
Chemical peels work by applying a controlled dose of acid-based solution to the skin. This exfoliates the outer layer, breaking down oil, dead skin cells, and impurities. As the skin regenerates, it becomes clearer, smoother, and more even in tone.
Common Active Ingredients
| Salicylic Acid | Excellent for treating acne-prone and oily skin. Penetrates deep into pores to clear blackheads and whiteheads. |
| Glycolic Acid | Ideal for brightening skin tone and reducing signs of ageing like fine lines and pigmentation. |
| Lactic Acid | Gentle on the skin and effective in addressing discoloration, mild texture issues, and enlarged pores. |
