Medical-Grade Peels · Dermatologist-Prescribed · All Skin Types
Medically prescribed chemical peels — glycolic, salicylic, lactic, mandelic, TCA, and enzyme — customised for your skin concern. Acne, pigmentation, tan removal, anti-ageing, and brightening. Board-certified dermatologists. 7 clinic locations.
The Science of Skin Renewal
A chemical peel is a controlled application of an acid solution to the skin that causes the outer damaged layers to exfoliate and regenerate. The new skin that forms underneath is smoother, more evenly pigmented, and has better texture and clarity.
At DermaVue, all chemical peels are prescribed and administered by board-certified dermatologists — not beauticians or therapists. The peel type, acid concentration, contact time, and number of layers applied are precisely calibrated to your skin type, Fitzpatrick grade, and treatment goal.
This is the key difference between a DermaVue medical peel and a salon facial peel: medical-grade concentrations, physician supervision, and clinical-grade results.
Acne & Breakouts
Salicylic peel clears follicular congestion
Pigmentation & Tan

Choosing the Right Peel
Your dermatologist selects the peel — not you. The right choice depends on your skin type, Fitzpatrick grade, concern, and downtime tolerance.
Glycolic Acid Peel
AHA (5–30%)
Best for: Dull skin, mild pigmentation, uneven tone, anti-ageing initiation
Downtime: Minimal — slight redness for 12–24 hrs
Salicylic Acid Peel
BHA (10–30%)
Best for: Active acne, oily skin, blackheads, acne marks (PIH)
Downtime: Minimal — mild flaking over 2–4 days
Lactic Acid Peel
AHA (30–50%)
Best for: Sensitive skin, dry skin, mild brightening, anti-ageing
Downtime: Minimal — suitable for sensitive skin
Mandelic Acid Peel
AHA (30–40%)
Best for: Dark Indian skin tones, melasma, acne, PIH
Downtime: Very mild — safest for darker skin
TCA Peel
TCA (10–35%)
Best for: Deep pigmentation, acne scars, significant wrinkles, skin resurfacing
Downtime: Moderate — 5–7 days peeling
Enzyme Peel
Papain / Bromelain
Best for: Sensitive skin, gentle brightening, no acid tolerance
Downtime: None — gentlest option available
Using the wrong peel type or concentration on Indian skin can cause permanent hyperpigmentation, burns, or scarring. A DermaVue dermatologist will assess your skin in person before prescribing any peel treatment.
Important: At-home chemical peels at clinical-grade concentrations can cause serious burns and scarring. Regulatory and dermatology bodies warn against unsupervised use of professional-strength acids.
Conditions Treated
Treatment Protocol
Consultation & Skin Assessment
Dermatologist evaluates your skin type, Fitzpatrick grade, and concern. Peel type, strength, and course length are prescribed.
Pre-Peel Preparation
A preparatory home-care regimen (usually 2–4 weeks) may be prescribed to prime the skin and reduce PIH risk on darker skin types.
The Peel Session
Skin is cleansed. The peel solution is applied, left for the prescribed time, then neutralised. Session takes 20–40 minutes.
Immediate Post-Peel
Mild redness and tightness are normal. A hydrating SPF is applied. Avoid active exfoliants for 5–7 days.
Peeling Phase
Depending on depth, skin may visibly peel over 3–7 days. This is normal and expected — do not pick or peel manually.
Follow-Up & Maintenance
Progress is reviewed. Next session is scheduled 2–4 weeks later. A full course is typically 4–6 sessions.
