Lactic Acid Chemical Peel
Lactic Acid Chemical Peel is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from corn starch and is an exceptionally gentle yet deeply hydrating exfoliating treatment. It stimulates cellular renewal, improves overall skin texture, reduces scarring and helps manage acne by clarifying the pores, dissolving comedogenic blockages and removing dead skin cells without causing visible peeling. It also effectively neutralises excessive skin redness, making it ideal for Rosacea. By improving the skin’s moisture levels, it reveals a fresh, healthy and naturally luminous complexion.
Thanks to its larger molecular size, it penetrates the skin slowly and evenly, offering mild exfoliation without irritation. It is particularly suited for dry, dehydrated or sensitive skin, as it hydrates, brightens and immediately refines the texture, leaving the skin soft, radiant and healthy-looking.

Results:
Lactic Acid Chemical Peeling delivers instantly smoother, brighter and more hydrated skin. It noticeably reduces dullness, softens fine lines, minimises roughness and enhances overall tone uniformity. Because of its humectant properties, it helps the skin retain moisture and strengthens the skin barrier, leaving a plump, glowing and revitalised appearance.
Treatment Overview
Ideal For
Lactic Acid Chemical Peeling is perfect for dry, dehydrated, thin, mature or sensitive skin that cannot tolerate stronger AHAs. It is an excellent choice for uneven tone, pronounced dryness, dullness and fine lines, and ideal for anyone seeking a very gentle, safe treatment with zero downtime.
It is also a great option for individuals who are new to chemical peels. Its high skin tolerance makes it especially beneficial for fair to light skin tones, as well as delicate areas like the neck and décolleté.
What's included
The treatment begins with a detailed skin assessment and a double cleanse to properly prepare the skin. A specialised pre-peel solution is then applied to ensure even penetration of the lactic acid, followed by a protective balm around the eyes, lips and sides of the nose for maximum safety.
Next, the lactic acid solution is applied, with the strength and duration tailored to your skin’s needs and tolerance. You may feel a mild warmth or tingling that lasts only a few minutes before proceeding to the neutralisation step.
An advanced treatment serum is then applied and infused using ultrasonic technology for deeper absorption and enhanced results. A customised mask follows, tailored to your skin’s needs for hydration, nourishment and calming.
The treatment concludes with eye care, moisturiser, SPF (for morning appointments) and lip balm.
Before treatment
In the week prior to your treatment, increase your water intake and stop using exfoliating products such as AHAs, BHAs, Retinol and self-tanners. Avoid facial waxing, electrolysis or any depilatory method on the face.
For 48 hours before your peel, avoid sun exposure, saunas and high-intensity workouts to prevent overheating and sensitivity.
After Treatment
For the first 24–48 hours, avoid heavy makeup and, if necessary, choose only mineral-based makeup. Refrain from any activity that induces heavy sweating, such as intense exercise, steam rooms or saunas, and avoid exfoliating products like AHA, BHA or Retinol. Keep heat away from the face, including hairdryers, and avoid alcohol.
For the ten days following your peel, minimise sun exposure and apply daily hydration and SPF. Do not wax or perform any hair removal in the treated area.
Avoid touching your face, picking at peeling skin or using self-tanning products.

Downtime
Downtime is minimal to none. You may experience slight dryness or mild flaking for 1–3 days. The skin appears immediately brighter, smoother and more hydrated.
Recommended Sessions
A series of 4–6 sessions is typically recommended, spaced 1–2 weeks apart. For maintenance, it can be repeated monthly, as it is one of the gentlest peels and suitable even for frequent treatments.
