What Is a Chemical Peel?
Skin changes gradually. Dullness, uneven tone, breakouts, pigmentation, or fine lines can build up over time, often despite a consistent skincare routine. Chemical peel treatment offers a professional way to refresh the skin, encouraging renewal and clarity beneath the surface.
A chemical peel is a professional skin‑resurfacing treatment that uses carefully formulated medical‑grade solutions to exfoliate the skin at controlled depths. By removing damaged surface layers, the skin is encouraged to regenerate, revealing fresher, smoother, and more even‑toned skin beneath.
Unlike at‑home exfoliation, professional peels are customised, monitored, and safe for targeted concerns such as pigmentation, acne, fine lines, and dullness.
At Lux Derm, chemical peels are selected and delivered with precision, helping restore brightness, smooth texture, and healthy skin function without harshness or compromise.
How Can a Chemical Peel Help?
Skin often carries the weight of life: stress, sun, hormones, and time can leave it looking tired, uneven, or marked by imperfections.
Chemical peels help reset this process by stimulating renewal at a deeper level, allowing healthier skin to surface naturally. The result is improved tone, clearer texture, and a complexion that looks brighter and more balanced.
Chemical peel treatment can improve:
Dull or uneven skin tone
Rough texture and fine lines
Acne and post‑breakout marks
Pigmentation, sun damage, or melasma
Oil imbalance and congestion
Overall skin clarity and radiance
Peels can be adapted from gentle refreshing treatments to more targeted corrective options, depending on your skin needs.
Chemical Peels at Lux Derm
At Lux Derm Medical Aesthetics, chemical peel treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and skin assessment to determine your skin type, concerns, and goals. Under the care of Mohana, a suitable medical grade peel is selected to address your concerns while preserving skin integrity.
The treatment itself typically takes around 30 minutes and is performed in clinic with precision and control. Downtime varies depending on the type of peel used, ranging from minimal flaking to mild peeling over several days. Skin tone and texture improve progressively in the days and weeks following treatment, with brighter, smoother results continuing to develop. For optimal outcomes, a course of peels may be recommended and adjusted seasonally
At Lux Derm, chemical peels are never aggressive or generic. They are carefully chosen treatments designed to support skin function, restore clarity, and enhance natural radiance
Cosmelan Peel for Hyperpigmentation
A targeted treatment for melasma, sun damage, and stubborn pigmentation
Pigmentation doesn't always respond to a standard peel. Melasma, sun-induced dark patches, and stubborn post-inflammatory marks often sit deeper in the skin and need a more targeted approach. This is where the Cosmelan peel comes in.
Cosmelan is a specialist depigmentation treatment developed specifically to correct hyperpigmentation and melasma at its source. Rather than simply exfoliating the surface, it works to regulate melanin production, gradually fading dark patches and evening out skin tone from within.
The treatment is applied in two stages: an intensive in-clinic mask, followed by a structured at-home maintenance programme prescribed by your practitioner. This combination is what makes Cosmelan effective for concerns that lighter peels can't fully address.
Cosmelan can help with:
Melasma and hormonal pigmentation
Sun-induced dark spots and uneven tone
Post-inflammatory marks from acne or injury
Stubborn, deep-set pigmentation resistant to other peels
Because Cosmelan is a more intensive treatment, it begins with a thorough consultation to confirm suitability and set realistic expectations. Some flaking and redness in the first week are normal as the skin adjusts, with visible brightening continuing over the following weeks as the at-home programme takes effect.
At Lux Derm, Cosmelan is delivered with a maintenance plan tailored to your skin's response, so pigmentation improvements are both visible and lasting.
