Chemical Peel
Chemical Peels
At Ozmedica Skin Clinic in Malvern, chemical peels are tailored to help refresh dull, uneven or congested-looking skin with carefully controlled exfoliation.
By applying a customised blend of exfoliating ingredients, our clinicians encourage the outer layers of the skin to shed more effectively. This can support a brighter, smoother and more refined appearance in suitable patients, always after a thorough consultation and assessment.

How chemical peels work at Ozmedica Skin Clinic
A chemical peel is a professional treatment where an exfoliating solution is applied to the skin for a set period of time. This helps loosen and remove the older surface layers so fresher, smoother-looking skin can be revealed underneath.
At Ozmedica Skin Clinic, your clinician will select the most appropriate peel type and strength based on your skin, goals and medical history. Peels may be used to help improve the appearance of:
- Dull or tired-looking skin that lacks radiance
- Uneven texture and rough or dry patches
- Visible pores and congestion
- Selected types of uneven tone and sun-related changes
- Early signs of ageing such as fine lines on the surface of the skin
Before any peel is performed, your clinician will examine your skin, review your current skincare and discuss whether a peel, or another option, is the most appropriate choice for you.
Gentle Refresh Peel
A lighter-strength peel designed to give the skin a quick refresh with minimal downtime in suitable patients.
- Ideal for first-time peel clients or those seeking a subtle brightening effect
- Targets surface dullness and helps smooth the look of dry, flaky areas
- Can be used as part of a regular skin maintenance plan
Temporary redness or mild tightness may occur after treatment and usually settles over the following hours to days.
Brightening & Radiance Peel
A peel selected to support a more even-looking tone and improved radiance in appropriate skin types.
- Addresses the appearance of uneven colour and sun-related changes
- Helps promote a smoother, more luminous complexion over a course of treatments
- May be combined with medical-grade skincare recommended by your clinician
You may notice visible flaking or dryness in the days after treatment as the outer layers of skin shed. Your clinician will guide you on how to care for your skin during this time.
Clarifying & Pore-Refining Peel
A clarifying peel used for suitable patients to help manage congestion and the look of enlarged pores.
- Supports clearer-looking skin and a more refined surface texture
- May be helpful as part of a long-term plan for breakout-prone skin
- Settings and frequency are adjusted according to skin tolerance and response
Mild purging, redness or sensitivity can sometimes occur as the skin adjusts. It is important to follow the aftercare plan and attend review appointments as recommended.
Treatment plans, results and expectations
Chemical peels are commonly performed as part of a treatment course rather than a single visit. The number of sessions recommended will depend on your starting skin condition, peel type and how your skin responds over time.
Over a series of treatments, suitable patients may notice:
- A brighter, more refreshed overall complexion
- Smoother-feeling skin with a reduction in surface roughness
- A more even-looking tone in selected areas
- Refined-looking pores and an improvement in congestion
Results develop gradually and vary from person to person. No specific outcome can be guaranteed. Your clinician will review your progress, adjust your treatment plan where needed and discuss other options that may complement, or be preferable to, peel treatments for your individual situation.

Chemical peels – common questions
A chemical peel is a professional exfoliating treatment where a carefully chosen solution is applied to the skin for a set time. This helps loosen the outer layers so they can shed more effectively, supporting a smoother, brighter-looking surface in suitable patients.
At Ozmedica Skin Clinic, peels are selected and performed by trained clinicians after reviewing your skin, medical history and treatment goals.
Chemical peels are commonly used to improve the appearance of dull or tired-looking skin, uneven texture, visible pores, selected sun-related changes and some early signs of ageing.
Not every concern is best managed with a peel. Your clinician will advise whether a chemical peel is suitable or if another treatment is likely to be more appropriate for your skin.
Many people have a course of peels spaced several weeks apart, followed by maintenance visits as recommended. The exact number of sessions depends on your skin, the peel type and how you respond over time.
Your clinician will outline a personalised plan, including how frequently you may benefit from treatment and when review appointments are suggested.
Sensations differ depending on the peel used. You may feel warmth, tingling, stinging or a prickling sensation while the solution is on the skin. These feelings are usually temporary and closely monitored by your clinician.
If you are uncomfortable at any stage, the peel can be neutralised or removed, and your clinician will adjust future treatments to suit your tolerance.
Downtime varies with peel strength. Lighter peels may cause only mild redness or tightness, while stronger peels can lead to visible flaking, dryness or temporary darkening of some areas as they shed.
Your clinician will give you clear aftercare instructions, including how to protect your skin from the sun, which products to use or pause and when makeup, exercise and heat-based activities can be resumed.
