Chemical peels in Brisbane

A chemical peel applies an acid-based solution to the skin to exfoliate at a controlled depth, encouraging skin to regenerate. Peels are categorised as superficial, medium and deep depending on how far into the skin they reach.

Pigmentation, dullness, fine lines, mild acne and uneven texture all respond to peels — though the right peel depends on the concern, skin type and history. Deep peels are used less commonly and require careful patient selection.

Superficial peels (often glycolic, lactic or salicylic acid) exfoliate the upper layers and have minimal downtime. Medium-depth peels (often TCA-based) reach deeper, with 5–7 days of peeling. Deep peels (e.g. phenol) are more aggressive and rarely used in standard cosmetic practice today.

Superficial peels can be safe and useful for darker Fitzpatrick skin types when chosen carefully. Medium and deep peels carry higher post-inflammatory pigmentation risk and require careful patient selection. Discuss your skin type at consultation.

Superficial peels are typically done in a series of 4–6 sessions every 2–4 weeks. Medium-depth peels may be done as a single treatment with annual maintenance. Your practitioner will tailor a plan to your skin and goals.

Superficial peels: minimal — possibly a few days of subtle flaking. Medium-depth: 5–7 days of visible peeling and redness. Deep: longer and not routinely done in most cosmetic clinics.

A single superficial peel in Brisbane is commonly quoted in the range of about $120–$250. Medium-depth peels typically cost more, often $400–$900. Confirm pricing and the specific solution being used at consultation.
