Chemical peel treatments are a popular cosmetic procedure that can help rejuvenate and revitalise your skin. Chemical peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the top layer of dead skin cells and stimulates the growth of new skin cells. This can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and other skin concerns.

At OLA Aesthetics in Perth, we offer a variety of chemical peel treatments tailored to your specific skin type and concerns, including medical-grade peels for more intensive treatment options. Our experienced skincare professionals will work with you to determine the best type of peel for your needs.

What to Expect After a Chemical Peel: Recovery and Downtime
After a chemical peel, the recovery time and experience can vary depending on the type and depth of the peel.
- Glycolic Acid Peel: Generally considered mild, this peel may result in slight redness and peeling, which usually resolves within a few days. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately.
- Salicylic Acid Peel: Known for its acne-fighting properties, the salicylic acid peel may cause some dryness and flaking that lasts for a few days. There is usually minimal downtime after this chemical peel, and you can return to your daily routine shortly after treatment.
- Lactic Acid Peel: As a milder peel, the lactic acid treatment typically results in minimal redness and flaking. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately, with any mild effects subsiding within one to two days.
- TCA Peel: This medium-depth peel can lead to more significant peeling and redness, which may last from five to seven days. During this time, it's important to avoid sun exposure and follow chemical peel aftercare guidelines closely.
- Jessner Peel: This combination peel may cause noticeable peeling and redness for several days. Patients should expect downtime of about five to seven days, with careful aftercare recommended to support healing.
- iS CLINICAL Prodigy Peel: This advanced treatment can lead to some redness and moderate skin flaking. The exact recovery time can vary, but most patients return to their usual activities within a few days.
Regardless of which chemical peel treatment you choose, it is important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by our skincare professionals to promote optimal results. These may include avoiding sun exposure and wearing sunscreen, avoiding certain skincare products and avoiding picking or scratching at your skin. You can always consult our OLA Aesthetics skincare professionals if you have any questions or concerns during your recovery process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Chemical peels can benefit a variety of individuals looking to improve their skin’s appearance. Ideal candidates include those experiencing issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, acne scars and pigmentation irregularities. During a consultation at our Perth clinic, our doctors can determine the most suitable peel for your skin type and goals, especially if you have sensitive skin or certain medical conditions.
A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to the skin that causes controlled exfoliation. The solution penetrates the outer skin layers and promotes the shedding of dead skin cells while stimulating the regeneration of new, healthier skin. Depending on the type of peel, this process can range from superficial to deeper levels, targeting various skin concerns and improving overall skin texture and tone.
The chemical peel process begins with cleansing your skin to remove any impurities, followed by the application of the chemical solution tailored to your specific needs. Throughout the chemical peel, you may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation as the solution works to exfoliate the outer layers of your skin.
Chemical peel results can be seen as little as 1 week post-treatment depending on the strength of the chemical peel. It is recommended to do a course of treatment 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimum results.
The results of a chemical peel are not considered permanent, as your skin will continue to age naturally. However, you can continue to benefit from your chemical peel as long as possible by maintaining a regular treatment schedule and home care plan.
Yes, chemical peels can help reduce pigmentation, such as sun spots, age spots and melasma. By exfoliating the top layers of the skin, these peels encourage the removal of discoloured skin cells. However, the effectiveness varies based on the type of peel used and the depth of pigmentation. Multiple chemical peel treatments may be required for optimal results.
For treating acne scars, TCA peels and Jessner peels are often recommended due to their deeper penetration and ability to promote collagen production. These peels can effectively improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars. However, the best option will depend on your skin condition. A consultation with our doctors at OLA Aesthetics can help determine the most appropriate treatment for your needs.
Any procedure carries a risk of adverse reactions, and although our team is highly trained, potential side effects can occur.
There are little to no side effects with having regular chemical peels. In rare cases, a client could have an adverse reaction to one of our chemical peels like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, redness, swelling and skin peeling; however, these can be treated and managed as soon as possible by one of our dermal therapists.
The cost of a chemical peel in Perth typically starts at $150. Your exact chemical peel price may vary depending on the type of peel and the specific treatment area, so it's advisable to consult with our skincare professionals for a detailed quote tailored to your needs.
