CHEMICAL PEELS
Refining and refreshing the complexion through gentle exfoliation
Chemical peels are professional-grade skin treatments designed to gently exfoliate the skin, refine texture, and promote a more even complexion. By applying a controlled solution to the skin, the outer layer of dull or damaged cells is encouraged to shed, revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin beneath.
​
At Cosmetic Synergy, all chemical peels are performed by Registered Nurse Tara Hesp in a safe, clinical environment at our Caringbah and Paddington locations.
Purpose of Treatment​
Chemical peels can help support the management of a range of common skin concerns, including:​
Uneven or dull complexion
Mild pigmentation and sun damage
Congested or breakout-prone skin
Fine lines and rough texture
The type and strength of peel are always chosen based on your skin type and goals, following a thorough consultation.
​
What to Expect​
Your treatment begins with a detailed skin assessment and cleanse. A specific peel solution is then applied to the skin for a controlled period of time. During this stage, you may experience a mild tingling or warmth as the solution works to exfoliate the skin's surface.
​
The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, with minimal downtime. Follow the peel, your skin may appear slightly pink or feel tight for a short period.
​
Aftercare​
To support optimal results and protect the skin following your peel:
Avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF daily
Do not pick or peel flaking skin
Keep the skin hydrated using gentle, non-active products
Avoid exfoliants and active ingredients (such as retinol or AHAs) for several days
Some mild flaking or peeling can occur for a few days as the skin renews naturally.
​
Possible Side Effects
Mild redness, dryness, or temporary sensitivity can occur following a peel. In rare cases, pigment changes or irritation may occur, particularly if aftercare is not followed.
All peels are carefully selected and performed to ensure patient safety and comfort.
