Chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to refresh your skin by gently removing dull, damaged surface layers. At WeiBetter Cosmetic Clinic, we customise your peel based on your skin’s needs, using scientifically formulated, medical-grade solutions.
We offer three types of peels, each targeting specific concerns.

What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is an effective treatment to refresh and resurface your skin while boosting its hydration. Depending on your individual skin concerns, we choose a suitable peel formula to achieve the desired results. This process gently removes the thickened outer layers that can feel dry, rough, or flaky, while encouraging collagen production in the deeper layers of your skin. As these top layers are shed, your skin will look smoother, healthier, and more radiant.
Chemical peels can help to:
-
Visibly refine thickened or oily skin texture
-
Minimise enlarged pores
-
Enhance the absorption of active skincare products
-
Address mild sun damage, pigmentation, congestion, enlarged pores, acne, keratosis pilaris, and early signs of ageing
Following your peel, we use LED light therapy to soothe the skin, reduce redness and inflammation, promote healing, and keep your skin calm.

Pre-treatment and post-treatment advice
Before your appointment
Please let your practitioner know if:
-
You are pregnant
-
You are taking any photosensitising medication
-
You have recently had unprotected sun exposure
-
You have undergone any other skin or dermal treatments recently
Preparation guidelines:
-
Avoid unprotected sun exposure for at least 4 weeks before treatment, and continue to protect your skin during your treatment program
-
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ (UVA/UVB) daily
-
Use the recommended exfoliating skincare products to help prepare your skin and enhance treatment results
-
Stop using prescription vitamin A (e.g., Retrieve, Retin A, Stieva A) or strong over-the-counter retinol 5 days before treatment unless otherwise advised
-
If you are prone to cold sores, consider taking antiviral medication to reduce the risk of an outbreak
-
Any areas recently treated with fillers or muscle relaxants must be fully healed (no redness, bruising, swelling, or discomfort) before your peel
-
Avoid waxing or any treatment that could irritate your skin prior to your appointment
What happens during treatment
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed before the peel solution is applied. The solution will remain on your skin for several minutes—you may feel a mild tingling sensation during this time. The peel will then be gently removed with cool towels, followed by LED light therapy to promote healing. An aftercare cream will be applied to complete your treatment.
What to expect after a Peel
-
Mild redness or tightness is common.
-
Visible peeling may occur depending on the type of peel chosen.
-
Results include brighter, smoother, more radiant skin.
Our team will assess your skin thoroughly to recommend the right peel for your goals and guide you through aftercare to maximise results.
Possible risks
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Darker patches of pigmentation that can last for 12 months or more (your doctor may prescribe a topical cream if this occurs)
-
Hypopigmentation – Loss of pigmentation
-
Infection or scarring if aftercare instructions are not followed properly
Post-care advice
-
Use only gentle, non-perfumed moisturisers until your skin feels normal again
-
Continue to apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and avoid unprotected sun exposure

Avoid heat-inducing activities (e.g., saunas, intense exercise) and chlorinated pools for 24 hours
