Reveal brighter, smoother, rejuvenated skin

Professional chemical peels including the renowned Obagi Blue Peel Radiance for luminous, youthful skin with minimal downtime.

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are advanced skincare treatments that use specially formulated solutions to exfoliate and remove the outermost layers of damaged skin, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath.

By removing dead skin cells and stimulating cellular turnover, chemical peels can address a variety of skin concerns including fine lines, uneven tone, sun damage, acne scarring, and dullness.

Dr Hajra offers professional-grade peels including the prestigious Obagi Blue Peel Radiance, a medical-grade treatment that delivers exceptional results with minimal downtime.

What to Expect During Treatment

1. Consultation & Skin Assessment

Dr Hajra will assess your skin type, concerns, and medical history to determine if chemical peels are suitable for you and which peel strength is most appropriate.

2. Skin Preparation

Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove all makeup, oils, and impurities, ensuring optimal penetration of the peel solution.

3. Peel Application

The chemical peel solution is carefully applied to your skin. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation, which is completely normal. The solution remains on your skin for a specific duration based on your skin's needs.

4. Neutralization & Removal

The peel is neutralized and gently removed. A soothing post-treatment product is applied to calm and protect your skin.

5. Aftercare Instructions

Dr Hajra will provide detailed aftercare instructions including recommended skincare products, sun protection guidance, and what to expect during the healing process.

Aftercare & Recovery

Immediate After Treatment

Your skin may appear slightly red and feel tight, similar to mild sunburn. This is normal and typically subsides within a few hours.

Days 1-3

You may experience light flaking or peeling. Continue with your prescribed skincare routine and keep skin well-hydrated.

Days 4-7

Peeling should be complete, revealing fresh, radiant skin underneath. Continue sun protection and gentle skincare.

Sun Protection

SPF 50 is essential for at least 2 weeks post-treatment. Your skin is more sensitive to UV damage during healing.

  • Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water
  • Follow all post-care instructions

  • Expose skin to direct sunlight
  • Use retinol or acids for 1 week

Recommended Treatment Course

While you'll notice improvement after a single treatment, optimal results are typically achieved with a course of 3-6 treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart.

Dr Hajra will create a personalised treatment plan based on your skin concerns, desired outcomes, and skin type. Some patients maintain results with quarterly treatments, while others prefer more frequent sessions.

Chemical peels can be combined with other treatments such as microneedling or skin boosters for enhanced results.
