Chemical Peels

What they are

Professional peels for skin texture, tone and quality

Chemical peels use controlled acid solutions to support the skin's natural exfoliation and renewal process. By applying an active solution to the skin's surface, a peel encourages the outer layers of the skin to shed — revealing fresher skin beneath and, depending on the depth of the peel, stimulating renewal in the deeper dermal layers.

At Regenesis, a range of professional peel options are available — from gentle, low-downtime formulations suitable for skin maintenance, to more active resurfacing options for clients with specific skin quality concerns. The appropriate peel for your skin is determined at consultation based on your skin type, current condition, concerns and downtime tolerance.

All peel treatments are performed by qualified practitioners at Regenesis. As with all treatments, individual responses vary and suitability is confirmed before any treatment begins.

Peel options at Regenesis

Finding the right peel for your skin

Regenesis offers several professional peel options across different brands and formulations. Each has a different mechanism, depth and associated recovery. Your practitioner will assess your skin at consultation and recommend the most appropriate option based on your individual skin, concerns and lifestyle.

What to expect

The treatment experience

Your first appointment begins with a skin assessment. Your practitioner will assess your skin type, current condition and the concerns you want to address, and recommend the most appropriate peel formulation based on this assessment and your downtime tolerance.

During treatment, the peel solution is applied to cleansed skin. The sensation during application varies by formulation — you may feel mild tingling, warmth or a brief stinging sensation depending on the specific peel used. The solution is timed, then neutralised and removed, and appropriate aftercare products are applied.

Following treatment, the skin response varies considerably by peel depth — from mild redness and dryness with gentler options to more pronounced surface renewal with deeper formulations. Your practitioner will set clear expectations at your appointment based on the specific peel recommended for your skin.

Sessions + Downtime

Treatment plan and recovery

Chemical peels are typically recommended as a course of sessions — commonly 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart — or as periodic maintenance treatments. The appropriate interval varies by peel depth and individual skin response.

Downtime varies considerably by formulation. Gentle peels are generally associated with minimal surface change and little to no visible recovery for most clients. Deeper formulations involve a more pronounced peeling response over several days. Your practitioner will discuss expected downtime specific to the formulation recommended at your consultation.

Sun protection is essential following any peel treatment. Freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV exposure and daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ is required throughout and following your treatment course.

As with all treatments, risks are associated with chemical peels. Your practitioner will discuss all relevant risks and aftercare requirements at your consultation before any treatment proceeds.
