Chemical peels can support a wide range of skin concerns, but they’re not a one-size-fits-all treatment. In this episode, Dr Libby is joined by Hayley, a qualified dermal clinician from Cosmetic Refinement Clinic Geelong, to explain how chemical peels work and clear up common misconceptions.
They explore the different acids used to address dehydration, acne, congestion, pigmentation and sun damage. Hayley also explains why visible peeling isn’t always the goal, how treatment strength and frequency should be tailored, and what proper preparation and aftercare involve.
If you’re considering a chemical peel or want to better understand professional skin treatments, this episode will help you know what to expect and why a thorough skin assessment matters.
