Chemical peels exfoliate the skin using a professionally applied solution. The formulation and application determine the treatment’s effects and recovery. We discuss the particular peel recommended for you before you proceed.
Discuss options for a fresher-looking complexion and a skincare routine that supports your progress.
A suitable peel may help improve the appearance of roughness and uneven texture. We assess whether exfoliation fits your skin’s needs.
The type of pigmentation matters. We assess marks and uneven colour before recommending a peel or another treatment.
We compare specific treatments rather than ranking one brand as universally stronger. TCMA offers SkinCeuticals peels alongside both ZO Stimulator and ZO 3-Step peels.
Your practitioner explains the proposed formulation, expected benefits, preparation and recovery for your skin.
A lighter exfoliating option for a complexion refresh, usually with little visible recovery.
A more intensive resurfacing option that involves planned preparation, aftercare and visible peeling.

Your choice also considers current skincare, previous reactions, treatment history and upcoming events. We explain alternatives if another approach better fits your goals.
Bring your skincare routine and tell us about medications, recent procedures, pregnancy or breastfeeding, cold sores and previous reactions. Follow your individual preparation instructions. Do not change prescribed medication without medical advice.
Your practitioner checks your skin and explains the peel and aftercare. Tingling, warmth or stinging may occur during application. Tell your practitioner how your skin feels throughout.
Redness, dryness and flaking are possible. Follow your supplied aftercare, including sun protection and advice about restarting active skincare, makeup, exercise and other treatments. Avoid picking or scrubbing peeling skin.
Recovery varies by peel and individual response. If you have an important event, discuss timing before booking rather than assuming there will be no visible recovery.
We assess skin sensitivity, your skin barrier and any history of pigment changes. Infection, broken or sunburnt skin may mean postponing treatment. Possible complications include prolonged irritation, pigment changes, infection and scarring. Your practitioner discusses individual risks and alternatives before treatment.
Contact the clinic for worsening pain, blistering, marked swelling or signs of infection. Results vary between individuals.
A peel can be one part of a longer-term plan for ageing well. Your dermal therapist can help you set priorities, review your home routine and decide whether a course or ongoing maintenance makes sense for your goals.
For a broader discussion of cosmetic medicine and skin treatments together, consider a Strategy Session with Dr. Amy Chahal. We can review your priorities as your skin and preferences change.

Depending on the formulation and your skin, a peel may improve the appearance of dullness, uneven surface texture and uneven tone. We assess your concerns before recommending a treatment.
You may have little visible flaking or a period of dryness and peeling. Recovery depends on the specific peel and your skin response. Your practitioner explains what to expect before treatment.
The specific peel matters more than the brand. TCMA offers both the lighter ZO Stimulator Peel and the more intensive ZO 3-Step Peel. We compare these with the proposed SkinCeuticals treatment after assessing your skin and recovery preferences.
Tell us the event date before booking. Allow time for redness or flaking to settle, particularly if it is your first peel. We recommend timing based on your chosen treatment and previous response.
The interval depends on the formulation, your skin response and the purpose of treatment. We discuss whether a single treatment, a course or maintenance suits your goals and review the plan as you progress.
Suitability is assessed individually. Sensitivity, an impaired skin barrier and a history of pigment changes can affect the choice of treatment and preparation. We may recommend stabilising your skin first or choosing another approach.
We explain your peel fee and any recommended preparation or aftercare costs before treatment. A Complexion Consultation with a dermal therapist requires a $100 deposit, redeemable against treatment only, not skincare products.
