Types of Chemicals Peels Melbourne
Each chemical peel is classified under its strength.
Superficial Peels (Light Peel):
A superficial peel is the mildest form of chemical peel. The peeling agents are Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid. A light peel can be used to treat fine wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone and dryness. A light peel can be performed between 2-5 weeks.
How Long Does It Take?
A Superficial Peel usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes for the face; larger body parts will require more time.
Medium Peel:
This peel is used to remove skin cells from both the outer layer of skin (epidermis) and upper part of your middle layer of skin (dermis). This peel is used to go deeper into your skin and can be used to treat acne scars, deeper wrinkles and uneven skin color.Deep Chemical Peel:
For deep chemical peeel, the chemical phenol is used to penetrate down to the lower dermal layer of your skin. You will need a local anesthetic to manage discomfort that you will feel in your skin during the process.
For a deep chemical peel, a pre-treatment with the use of a retinoid cread ( vitamin A) will be needed to prepare the skin and speed up the healing process.
Our physicians may recommend a deep chemical peel you have deeper wrinkles, scars, or precancerous growths. A deep chemical peel can only be performed once.
Glycolic Peel:
The glycolic peel is great for the exfoliation and rejuvenation of aging skin. A glycolic acid peel can be seen as a special solution that removes dead skin cells from the body.

The Benefits and Process of Chemical Peels at Collins Laser Aesthetics
At Collins Laser Aesthetics, we are dedicated to helping you achieve your best skin yet. One of the most effective treatments we offer for rejuvenating and revitalizing your skin is the chemical peel. This versatile treatment can address a range of skin concerns, leaving you with a smoother, more youthful complexion. In this article, we will delve into the benefits, types, and process of chemical peels, providing you with all the information you need to decide if this treatment is right for you.
What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. During a chemical peel, a specially formulated chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process reveals fresh, new skin that is often smoother and less wrinkled. Chemical peels can be used on the face, neck, and hands to treat a variety of skin issues.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels offer numerous benefits, making them a popular choice for those looking to enhance their skin’s appearance. Here are some of the primary advantages:
1. Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles
One of the most sought-after benefits of chemical peels is their ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By removing the outer layer of damaged skin, chemical peels stimulate collagen production, which helps to smooth out lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful complexion.
2. Treatment of Acne and Acne Scars
Chemical peels can be highly effective in treating acne and reducing the appearance of acne scars. The exfoliation process helps to unclog pores and reduce inflammation, while the new skin that emerges is often clearer and less prone to breakouts. For acne scars, deeper peels can help to improve skin texture and reduce scarring.
3. Improvement in Skin Tone and Texture
Uneven skin tone and rough texture can be significantly improved with chemical peels. By removing the damaged outer layer of skin, chemical peels reveal smoother, more evenly toned skin. This treatment can help to diminish hyperpigmentation, age spots, and melasma, providing a more uniform complexion.
4. Sun Damage Repair
Prolonged sun exposure can lead to a variety of skin issues, including sunspots, rough texture, and premature aging. Chemical peels can effectively address these concerns by removing sun-damaged skin cells and promoting the growth of healthier skin. This results in a rejuvenated appearance and a reduction in the signs of sun damage.
5. Enhanced Skincare Product Absorption
After a chemical peel, your skin is more receptive to skincare products. Without the barrier of dead skin cells, your favorite serums and moisturizers can penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. This means you get more out of your skincare routine, enhancing the overall health and appearance of your skin.
Types of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels come in different strengths and formulations, each designed to target specific skin concerns. At Collins Laser Aesthetics, we offer three main types of chemical peels:
1. Superficial Peels
Superficial peels, also known as light peels, use mild acids such as alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of skin. These peels are ideal for addressing minor skin issues like slight discoloration and rough texture. Superficial peels require minimal downtime, making them a great option for those with busy schedules.
2. Medium Peels
Medium peels penetrate deeper into the skin using stronger acids like trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or glycolic acid. These peels are effective for treating moderate skin issues, including fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. Medium peels often require a few days of downtime as the skin heals and regenerates.
3. Deep Peels
Deep peels use potent acids such as phenol to penetrate the middle layer of skin. These peels are used for more severe skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles, extensive sun damage, and significant scarring. Deep peels provide dramatic results but require a longer recovery period, often involving several weeks of healing.
The Chemical Peel Process
Understanding the chemical peel process can help you feel more confident and prepared for your treatment. Here is what you can expect when you undergo a chemical peel at Collins Laser Aesthetics:
1. Consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our skincare professionals. During this consultation, we will assess your skin type, discuss your concerns and goals, and determine the most appropriate type of peel for your needs.
2. Preparation
Before the peel, your skin will be cleansed to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup. This ensures that the chemical solution can penetrate the skin evenly and effectively. Depending on the type of peel, you may also receive a pre-treatment regimen to prepare your skin.
3. Application
During the procedure, the chosen chemical solution is carefully applied to your skin. You may experience a tingling or burning sensation as the solution works to exfoliate the skin. The duration of this step varies based on the type and strength of the peel.
4. Neutralization and Removal
After the appropriate amount of time, the chemical solution is neutralized and removed. This step is crucial to stop the chemical reaction and prevent over-exfoliation.
5. Post-Treatment Care
Following the peel, you will receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. It is essential to avoid sun exposure and use gentle skincare products during the recovery period. Your skin may be red and sensitive for a few days, and peeling or flaking is common as the old skin sheds.
