Chemical peels

Yes - when professionally prescribed and performed correctly, chemical peels are a safe and effective way to improve overall skin health and function. At Your Aesthetic, every peel is tailored to your skin type, concerns, and barrier condition to ensure the treatment is both safe and results-driven.

Most skin types are suitable for peels, however if your skin is deemed ‘impaired’ then we will recommend an alternative treatment (or homecare products) until we can strengthen your skin barrier to perform peels. 

As always, we will provide a comprehensive skin consultation to discuss your skin in more detail and provide you with the best peel options. 

Temporary redness, sensitivity, dryness and mild flaking are common following a peel. Recovery will vary depending on the treatment performed and your individual skin response.

Your clinician will discuss expected downtime and aftercare requirements prior to treatment. If you have any concerns during your recovery, please contact the clinic.

Many clients come to us unsure of which treatment is most suitable—and that's exactly what we're here for. Following a comprehensive assessment, we'll guide you through your options and recommend the treatments, skincare and approach best suited to your skin, goals and lifestyle.

The interval between treatments will vary depending on the peel selected and the concerns being addressed. Most peel protocols involve treatments every 2–4 weeks, however recommendations will be tailored to your individual skin response and treatment objectives.

In some cases, a temporary increase in breakouts may occur as the skin's renewal process accelerates and underlying congestion comes to the surface more quickly. This response, often referred to as skin purging, is usually short-lived and forms part of the skin's adjustment process.

We understand that changes in the skin can sometimes feel concerning, which is why our team is here to support you and provide guidance throughout your treatment journey.

n many cases, yes. We offer pregnancy and breastfeeding-friendly peel options, however treatment recommendations will always be guided by your skin's needs and individual circumstances. Your clinician will advise on the most appropriate treatment approach during your consultation.
