Why You Should Choose a Chemical Peel for Skin Pigmentation
Chemical peels are a proven method for reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, which includes conditions like sun damage, age spots, and melasma.
Benefits of Chemical Peels for Skin Pigmentation
- Reduced Pigmentation: Peels effectively lighten and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, resulting in a more even skin tone.
- Improved Skin Texture: Peels exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.
- Enhanced Skin Tone: Peels promote a more uniform skin tone and a brighter complexion by targeting pigmentation irregularities.

FAQs about Chemical Peels for Skin Pigmentation
Do you have questions about chemical peels for pigmentation? We've compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions to help you understand how these treatments can help you achieve a clearer, more even skin tone.
How many SkinMed peels are needed to see results for pigmentation?
The number of SkinMed peels required to see visible results for pigmentation varies depending on the individual’s skin type, the severity of the pigmentation, and the specific peel used. Generally, a series of 3-6 peels spaced 2-4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. However, some improvement may be noticeable after just one peel. Your skincare professional will be able to assess your skin and create a personalised treatment plan to address your specific needs.
How long does it take to recover from a SkinMed peel for pigmentation?
Recovery time after a SkinMed peel depends on the depth of the peel and individual skin sensitivity. For light peels, you can typically expect minimal downtime with slight redness and peeling that subsides within a few days. Medium peels may involve more noticeable peeling and redness for up to a week. However, SkinMed peels are formulated with Enerpeel Technology, which enhances penetration and minimises downtime compared to traditional peels.
Are SkinMed peels safe for all skin types and tones?
SkinMed offers a diverse range of peels suitable for various skin types and tones, including those prone to pigmentation. However, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified skincare professional to determine the most appropriate peel for your individual needs. They will assess your skin type, pigmentation concerns, and medical history to recommend the safest and most effective treatment plan.
Do SkinMed peels hurt?
During a SkinMed peel, you may experience a mild tingling or burning sensation, which is generally well-tolerated. The intensity of the sensation depends on the peel’s strength and individual sensitivity. Your skincare professional may apply a topical numbing cream beforehand to enhance your comfort. After the peel, you may experience some tightness and sensitivity, but this typically subsides within a few days.
