A medical peel, also known as a chemical peel, uses a chemical solution applied to the skin to speed up the natural shedding of dead surface cells. As that dull outer layer lifts away, clearer, fresher skin is revealed underneath.
How your skin ages comes down to a mix of genetics and the environment, particularly sun exposure over the years. Peels are one of the most effective ways to address the visible signs of that: uneven pigmentation, fine lines, rough texture and acne scarring. At Verve, medical peels are chosen and overseen by our doctors, so the strength is matched to your skin and your goals.
A medical peel at Verve can help with:
A peel works by applying a chemical solution that loosens the bonds holding dead, damaged cells on the surface of your skin. Those cells exfoliate away over the following days, prompting the skin to renew itself and bring newer, more even skin to the surface. The stronger the peel, the deeper it works and the more noticeable the change in texture and tone, which is also why deeper peels are carried out by a doctor.
Peels are grouped by how deeply they work: superficial, medium and deep. Superficial peels give the skin a refresh with little to no downtime and suit most people. Stronger superficial peels, and medium to deep peels performed by our doctors, usually produce a more noticeable improvement in textural irregularities, pigmentation and lines, with a longer recovery to match. Part of your consultation is working out how deep you actually need to go to reach your goal.
We use a considered range of peels so the treatment can be tailored to your skin rather than offering a single option to everyone:
Which peel suits you depends on your skin type, your concerns and how much downtime you can allow. Your doctor will recommend the right one at your consultation.
Peels can soften the look of age spots and uneven pigmentation, improve fine lines and wrinkles, and help refine the appearance of acne scarring and rough texture. Recovery depends on the depth of the peel: the deeper it goes, the more flaking and redness you can expect and the longer your skin needs to settle. A superficial peel might mean little more than a day or two of mild flaking, while a deeper peel asks for more downtime. We will talk you through exactly what to expect for the peel you choose.
Medical peels suit most people wanting to improve pigmentation, early ageing, texture or acne scarring, though the right type and strength varies a lot from skin to skin. Some conditions, and very sensitive or reactive skin, need a more careful approach, which is why every peel at Verve starts with an assessment. If you have a mole or spot you are worried about, have it checked by a doctor first, as a peel is a cosmetic treatment and not a treatment for skin cancer or precancerous lesions. Dr Nasser will assess your skin and, if a peel is not the best fit, talk you through the alternatives.
Peels are used to improve uneven pigmentation and age spots, soften fine lines, and refine rough texture and the appearance of acne scarring. The result depends on the type and strength of peel chosen for your skin.
That is decided at your consultation. Your doctor looks at your skin type, your concerns and how much downtime you can manage, then recommends the peel and strength most likely to get you there, starting gentler if it is your first.
It depends on the depth. A superficial peel may leave only light flaking for a day or two, while medium to deep peels involve more visible peeling and redness and a longer recovery. We will give you a clear timeframe for the peel you choose.
Prices start from $150 and vary with the peel chosen. Many people get the best result from a short course rather than a single treatment, and we will set out a realistic plan for your skin at your consultation.
A considered approach to aesthetics begins with expert guidance.
