Chemical peels are advanced skin rejuvenation treatments designed to improve the health, function, and appearance of the skin on both the face and body. Using carefully selected blends of professional-grade acids and active ingredients, chemical peels gently accelerate your skin's natural renewal process by removing damaged, dull surface cells and stimulating healthy cell turnover.
As fresh, healthier skin is revealed, the complexion becomes smoother, brighter, clearer, and more even in tone. Depending on your skin concerns, peels can be customised to target a wide range of conditions while also supporting long-term skin health.
At Melbourne Skin, we proudly use Lira Clinical Professional Peels—an award-winning collection of advanced formulations that combine powerful exfoliating acids with patented plant stem cells, antioxidants, and brightening ingredients.
Our customised chemical peels are designed to target multiple skin concerns while improving the overall health and function of your skin.

Every peel at Melbourne Skin is individually tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals, ensuring the safest treatment with the most effective and long-lasting results.
Chemical peels are safe and effective when performed on suitable candidates; however, certain medical conditions, medications, and skin circumstances may prevent treatment or require it to be postponed to ensure your safety and achieve the best possible results.
Treatment may not be suitable if you have any of the following:
Your Melbourne Skin clinician will complete a comprehensive consultation and medical assessment before every treatment to determine whether a chemical peel is appropriate for you. If any contraindications are identified, your treatment may be modified or postponed until it is safe to proceed.
Chemical peels are generally very well tolerated, with most clients experiencing minimal discomfort throughout the treatment. Depending on the type and strength of peel selected, you may notice a temporary sensation of warmth, tingling, itching, or mild stinging during application. These sensations are completely normal and indicate that the active ingredients are working within the skin.
The intensity of these sensations varies from person to person and is influenced by your skin condition, barrier health, and the depth of the peel. Any discomfort typically subsides within a few minutes or once the peel is neutralised or completed.
Your Melbourne Skin clinician will closely monitor your skin throughout the treatment to ensure your comfort and safety, adjusting the treatment if required.
Chemical peels are safe and highly effective when performed by a qualified and experienced skin clinician. As with any professional skin treatment, achieving the best results relies not only on the treatment itself but also on following the recommended pre- and post-treatment instructions.
Failure to follow your clinician's advice may increase the risk of complications, including prolonged redness, irritation, infection, delayed healing, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), or suboptimal treatment outcomes.
To minimise these risks and support optimal healing, it is essential to:
Follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions provided by your clinician.
Avoid excessive sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ daily.
Use only the recommended skincare products during the healing period.
Avoid picking, peeling, or prematurely removing flaking skin.
Contact Melbourne Skin immediately if you experience any unexpected or concerning reactions.
Your safety is our highest priority. Every chemical peel performed at Melbourne Skin is individually tailored to your skin type, concerns, and medical history to ensure the safest possible treatment and the best achievable results.
Following your chemical peel, it is completely normal for your skin to appear pink to red and feel warm or similar to mild sunburn. Redness typically settles within 2–24 hours, depending on the type and depth of the peel performed.
Between days 2–5, your skin may begin to feel tight, dry, and develop mild to moderate flaking or peeling as the damaged outer layers are naturally shed and replaced with fresh, healthy skin. Some areas may appear darker before peeling occurs—this is a normal part of the skin renewal process, particularly when treating pigmentation or sun damage.
As your skin regenerates, some clients may also experience mild breakouts or temporary congestion as impurities are brought to the surface. This is a normal response to increased cellular turnover and typically resolves as healing progresses.
The amount of visible peeling varies between individuals and depends on the specific peel selected. Some clients experience only light dryness, while others may notice more pronounced peeling. Regardless of the amount of peeling, the treatment is still working beneath the surface to stimulate healthy skin renewal and improve overall skin health.
Following your personalised aftercare instructions and using your recommended home care products will help optimise healing, minimise downtime, and maximise your treatment results.
For optimal skin health and the best clinical outcomes, chemical peels are typically performed as a course of treatments every 2–4 weeks, depending on your skin concerns, treatment goals, and the type of peel selected. A series of treatments allows for progressive skin correction and delivers significantly better, longer-lasting results than a single treatment alone.
Your Melbourne Skin clinician will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your skin's condition and desired outcomes, whether you're treating acne, pigmentation, ageing, or overall skin rejuvenation.
Once your treatment goals have been achieved, we recommend maintenance treatments every 2–3 months or as recommended to support ongoing skin renewal, maintain collagen production, preserve your results, and keep your skin healthy, radiant, and functioning at its best.
Consistent professional treatments, combined with your prescribed home care regimen, are the key to achieving and maintaining long-term skin health and visible results.
