Chemical peels use controlled acid solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin, promoting cell renewal and improving skin texture, tone, and clarity. Peels range from superficial (lunchtime peels) to deep peels that address significant skin concerns. The strength and type of peel should be matched to your skin type and concerns by a qualified practitioner.

Why verification matters
Chemical peels, particularly medium and deep peels, depend on proper skin assessment, the right product choice, and trained technique to avoid complications. Independent verification is a straightforward way to confirm a practitioner is trained for the peels they offer. CosmediCheck checks both medical and non-medical practitioners against the same rigorous standard, so you can choose with confidence.

Chemical peels are categorised by depth: superficial peels (glycolic, lactic acid) treat mild concerns with minimal downtime; medium peels (TCA) address moderate skin damage; deep peels treat significant concerns but require longer recovery. Your practitioner should assess your skin and recommend the appropriate type and strength.
Not all peels are suitable for all skin types. Darker skin tones have a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with certain peels. A thorough skin assessment by a qualified practitioner is essential before treatment. This is one reason why choosing a verified, experienced professional matters.
