Chemical Peels - What They Are & Why Your Skin Will Love Them
If your skin is feeling a bit tired, uneven or just not quite right, a chemical peel might be your secret weapon.
Forget the horror stories, modern peels are safe, customisable and seriously effective when done professionally. At Vissi, we use chemical peels to help fade pigmentation, clear congestion, boost brightness and get your skin back to glowing.
So, what actually is a chemical peel?
It’s a treatment that uses a specially formulated solution (often acids like lactic, glycolic, or salicylic) to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface. This removes dead skin cells, stimulates cell turnover, and reveals the fresher, smoother skin underneath.
Why we love chemical peels:
They’re quick and effective - most take under 30 minutes
Minimal downtime - a little flaking or dryness, but no major peeling drama
They work for multiple concerns - think pigmentation, breakouts, dullness and rough texture
They can boost results from other treatments - like skin needling or active skincare
At Vissi, every peel is personalised to your skin goals. Whether you want to brighten, clear, or refine - we’ve got a formula for that.
Common concerns we treat with peels:
Post-acne marks or breakouts
Uneven tone or dullness
Pigmentation or sun spots
Texture or rough patches
Congestion or enlarged pores
How often can you get them?
Depending on your skin type and goals, you might start with a peel every 2–4 weeks. We’ll map out a plan that suits your skin (and your calendar + budget).
Winter = prime peel season
Why? Less sun exposure = less risk of post-treatment pigmentation. Your skin also tends to be drier in winter, which makes it a perfect time to exfoliate gently and replenish deeply.
