What is Chemical Peel Treatment?
A chemical peel is the controlled application of a solution – such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, mandelic or TCA – that exfoliates the outer layers of the skin. As the skin renews, it becomes smoother, clearer and more even in tone.
Peels range from very gentle 'lunchtime' peels with no visible peeling to medium-depth peels for stubborn pigmentation and scars. The right peel depends on your skin type, your concern and how much downtime you can manage.
Peels work best as part of a plan. Dr. Tarunveer pairs peels with a suitable home-care routine and, where needed, with lasers or other procedures.

Benefits of Chemical Peel
Clearer skin
Unclogs pores and helps control acne and blackheads.
More even tone
Fades marks, tan and pigmentation gradually.
Smoother texture
Removes dull, rough skin for a fresh glow.
Quick procedure
Most peels take under 30 minutes.
How the Treatment Works
Skin assessment & priming
Your skin is assessed and you may be asked to use a priming cream for about 2 weeks before the first peel.
Cleansing & preparation
The skin is cleansed and sensitive areas are protected.
Peel application
The peel is applied and carefully timed. You may feel mild tingling or warmth.
Neutralising & soothing
The peel is neutralised or removed, and a soothing cream and sunscreen are applied.
Results & Number of Sessions
Most people notice brighter, smoother skin within a week of the first peel.
For acne, pigmentation and marks, a series of 4–6 peels gives the best results, followed by occasional maintenance peels and a good daily routine with sunscreen.
Aftercare
- Mild flaking or dryness for a few days is normal – do not peel the skin off
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser
- Apply sunscreen and avoid direct sun
- Avoid scrubs, waxing and retinoids for about a week
- Resume your usual routine as advised by the doctor
Is Chemical Peel Treatment Safe?
Superficial peels performed under a dermatologist's care are very safe. Mild redness, tingling, dryness and flaking are expected. Deeper peels carry a small risk of temporary pigmentation changes, which is why correct peel selection, skin priming and sun protection are important.
Please tell the doctor before treatment if you have:
- Pregnancy (for some peels)
- Active cold sores or skin infection
- Recent isotretinoin use
- Recent waxing or sunburn
- Very sensitive or eczema-prone skin (discuss with the doctor)
