What Is a Chemical Peel?
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a dermatological treatment where a carefully selected solution of acids is applied to the skin for a controlled period. It helps remove dull, damaged surface layers and encourages the skin to renew itself.
Peels are not one-size-fits-all. The type of acid, its strength and how long it stays on the skin all depend on your skin type, your concern and how your skin responds. That is why at Skin Trust, a chemical peel always begins with a consultation, never with a product.
Concerns We Treat
What Can a Chemical Peel Help With?
Acne and Oily Skin
Peels with salicylic and azelaic acid help clear clogged pores, control oil and calm active breakouts.
Acne Marks and Uneven Texture
Regular sessions can help soften post-acne marks and smoothen rough, uneven skin.
Dull and Tired Skin
Gentle resurfacing peels lift away dead skin cells for a fresher, brighter-looking complexion.
Early Signs of Ageing
Retinol and glycolic-based peels can help with fine lines, loss of radiance and sun damage.
Dark Circles and Under-eye Concerns
Specialised periocular peels are formulated for the delicate skin around the eyes.
Tanning and Sun Damage
Peels can help restore a more even tone to skin affected by regular sun exposure.

The Process
How a Chemical Peel Works at Skin Trust
- Step 1: Consultation and Skin Assessment
Dr. Kavitha examines your skin, understands your concern and checks if a peel is right for you.
- Step 2: Skin Preparation
In some cases, you may be advised a short pre-peel skincare routine to prepare your skin and reduce the risk of side effects.
- Step 3: The Peel Session
Your skin is cleansed, the peel is applied for a controlled time and then neutralised or removed. Most sessions take about 20 to 45 minutes.
- Step 4: Aftercare
You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions, including sun protection and products to use at home.
- Step 5: Follow-up Sessions
Most concerns need a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Your plan will be customised.
What to Expect
What to Expect After a Peel
Depending on the type of peel, you may notice mild redness, tightness, dryness or light flaking for a few days. Some peels have little to no visible downtime, while stronger peels may need a few days of recovery. Dr. Kavitha will explain what to expect for your specific treatment before you begin.
Results vary from person to person and depend on your skin type, concern and how closely aftercare is followed.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a chemical peel safe for Indian skin?
Yes, when chosen and performed by a qualified dermatologist. Peel selection, strength and preparation matter a lot for darker skin tones, which is why every treatment at Skin Trust starts with a consultation.
Does a chemical peel hurt?
Most people feel a mild tingling or warm sensation during the peel. It is usually well tolerated and lasts only a few minutes.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your concern. Mild dullness may improve in a few sessions, while pigmentation or acne marks usually need a planned series. Your doctor will guide you.
Will my skin peel visibly?
Not always. Many superficial peels cause only light flaking or none at all. Deeper peels may cause more visible peeling for a few days.
Can I go to work after a peel?
With most superficial peels, yes. For stronger peels, you may be advised to plan a few days of downtime.
Who should avoid chemical peels?
Peels may not be suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active skin infections, or with certain medications. Please share your full medical history during consultation.
How do I care for my skin after a peel?
Avoid direct sun, use sunscreen regularly, avoid scrubbing or picking at the skin and follow the products recommended by your doctor.
Can I get a chemical peel at a salon instead?
Professional medical-grade peels should be done under a dermatologist’s supervision. Incorrect peel selection or application can lead to burns or pigmentation.
