How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Chemical peels are professional skin treatments that use carefully formulated solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin. This controlled exfoliation removes the outer layer of dead skin cells to reveal fresher, healthier skin underneath and stimulates the skin’s natural renewal processes.
At Esteem Clinic, chemical peels are applied to the face, neck, and décolletage. The depth of the treatment can range from superficial to medium, depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals. Each peel is chosen to target specific issues and improve overall skin health, texture, and tone.

Our Chemical Peel Process & What To Expect
Chemical peels at Esteem Clinic are designed to reveal healthier, renewed skin. Each treatment is performed by experienced dermal clinicians who focus on personalised care, comfort, and results. Sessions typically take 30–45 minutes and are tailored to the individual’s unique skin needs.
Consultation & Assessment
Every chemical peel treatment begins with a complimentary consultation. During this session, clinicians assess the client’s skin type, current condition, and specific concerns.
This assessment allows us to recommend the most appropriate peel and create a customised plan that aligns with the client’s aesthetic goals.
The consultation also provides an opportunity to discuss expected outcomes, answer any questions, and review pre- and post-treatment care requirements, ensuring clients feel informed and confident before starting the treatment.
Understanding Chemical Peels
We explain how chemical peels work, including how the carefully formulated solutions remove the outer layer of damaged skin and stimulate the skin’s natural renewal process.
Clients are informed about the depth of the peel, which can range from superficial to medium, depending on the individual’s needs and desired results.
Understanding the process helps clients know what to expect in terms of sensations during the treatment and the timeline for visible improvements.
Creating Customised Treatment Plans
Each treatment plan is tailored to address specific skin concerns, such as acne, pigmentation, fine lines, enlarged pores, or uneven texture. We also provide personalised guidance on preparation and aftercare to ensure the peel works safely and effectively. This level of customisation maximises results and supports long-term skin health.
The Chemical Peel Treatment
During the treatment:
- The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove impurities and makeup.
- A degreasing solution is applied to ensure even penetration of the peel.
- The selected chemical solution is carefully applied for a duration determined by the skin’s response.
- Soothing serums are used to calm any warmth or mild irritation.
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen is applied to protect the skin immediately after treatment.
Most clients experience mild tingling, warmth, or prickling during the application, which is normal and indicates the peel is actively working. Clinicians closely monitor the skin throughout to ensure comfort and safety.
Post-Treatment Care
Following a chemical peel, proper aftercare is essential to support healing and achieve the best results. Clients are advised to:
- Avoid heat-generating activities such as exercise, hot showers, and saunas during the first 24 hours.
- Use prescribed antioxidant and hydrating serums to maintain skin health.
- Apply mineral makeup if needed, and avoid direct sun exposure in the first week.
- Use SPF 50+ sunscreen daily and refrain from advanced skincare products, such as strong acids or Retin A, for several days.
- Postpone facial waxing or hair removal procedures for two weeks and continue with a gentle skincare routine.
- Attend any recommended follow-up appointments for assessment and guidance.
Considerations & Safety
Chemical peels are medical-grade treatments and carry some risks. Potential temporary effects include redness, peeling, or mild irritation.
By selecting the correct peel and closely monitoring the skin, we minimise these risks and help clients achieve safe and effective results.
Special consideration is given to clients with darker skin tones, where the risk of pigmentation changes may be higher, ensuring all treatments are carefully tailored and monitored.
Chemical Peel Results
When followed with the recommended aftercare and treatment schedule, clients can expect smoother, more even skin, improved texture, reduced appearance of fine lines and pigmentation, and an overall refreshed and revitalised appearance. Each treatment is designed not only to improve immediate skin concerns but also to support long-term skin health and maintain results over time.

More About Gold Coast Chemical Peels
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to the skin during a chemical peel?
During a chemical peel, a medical-grade solution is applied to the skin to target the outermost layers. The active ingredients break down the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing the outer layer to shed more easily and reveal fresher skin underneath.
The peel also stimulates natural repair processes, including new skin cell growth and collagen production, which can improve texture and resilience over time. Mild sensations such as tingling, warmth, or prickling are normal and monitored throughout the treatment.
Who is not suitable for chemical peels?
Chemical skin peels may not be appropriate for:
- Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals (except the Gentle Pomegranate Peel)
- Those prone to skin conditions like cold sores without antiviral medication
- Recent sun damageor solarium exposure
- Recent treatments to the area
- Certain medications or impaired skin barrier function
Eligibility is assessed during a consultation to ensure safety and suitability.
Is there downtime after a chemical peel?
Downtime depends on how deep the peel is:
- Superficial peels: Minimal downtime; light flaking may occur.
- Medium-depth peels: More noticeable peeling or dryness for several days.
Most clients can resume normal activities immediately, with minor adjustments to skincare and sun exposure.
How long before I see results?
Initial improvements may be visible within a few days. Full results usually develop over 2–4 weeks as the skin completes its natural turnover. For concerns like pigmentation or acne scarring, multiple treatments may be recommended for cumulative results.
Can chemical peels be combined with other treatments?
Yes, chemical peels can be part of a broader skincare plan. Certain treatments must be spaced appropriately to avoid complications. Clinicians provide guidance on safe combinations and timing based on your skin’s needs.
What’s the difference between a superficial and medium-depth peel?
Superficial peels: Target the outer skin layer, providing gentle exfoliation with minimal downtime.
- Medium-depth peels: Penetrate deeper to address more significant concerns, requiring longer recovery.
The appropriate peel is determined based on skin type, concerns, lifestyle, and goals.
What can I expect from my results?
Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear flushed and feel warm for a few hours. Flaking or dryness may occur over the following days. Some clients may experience temporary breakouts. Regular treatments can enhance results and support the effectiveness of home-care routines.
How do I care for my skin post-treatment?
Post-treatment care includes:
- Gentle cleansing and moisturising
- Diligent sun protection with SPF 50+
- Avoiding harsh products, exfoliants, or excessive sun exposure.
- Detailed, personalised aftercare instructions are provided by your clinician.
What are the risks and considerations?
Common effects include temporary redness, mild irritation, peeling, and increased sun sensitivity. Less common risks can include temporary changes in pigmentation, rare infection, or scarring if aftercare is not followed. Experienced clinicians and proper pre- and post-care reduce these risks.
ill provide detailed, personalised aftercare instructions to support recovery and optimise results.
How long will results last?
Results vary depending on skin type, concerns, peel type, and adherence to aftercare. Superficial improvements may last a few weeks, while medium-depth peels provide longer-lasting benefits. Regular treatments and consistent skincare help maintain and enhance results over time.
How do I prepare for a chemical peel?
Preparation may include avoiding certain skincare products, sun exposure, or other treatments before the appointment. Detailed instructions are provided during the skin consultation to ensure the skin is ready for safe and effective treatment.
