What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation treatment where a specially formulated acid solution is applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and stimulate cell turnover. Depending on the depth and formulation, peels can treat:
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Acne and acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Pigmentation and sun spots
- Melasma
- Enlarged pores
- Rough or bumpy texture

✅ Softens fine lines and improves elasticity
✅ Boosts collagen and cellular renewal
✅ Minimal downtime with long-term results
Types of Chemical Peels Offered
Our Hongdae clinic offers a range of peels customized to your skin needs and sensitivity level:
- Superficial Peels (AHA, BHA)
Uses glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid to gently exfoliate and refresh the surface—ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. - Medium-Depth Peels (TCA, Jessner’s Solution)
Penetrates deeper to treat sun damage, pigmentation, and wrinkles with more dramatic results. - Mandelic Acid Peels
Great for brightening and treating pigmentation in sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. - Salicylic Acid Peels
Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin—clears pores, reduces breakouts, and calms inflammation. - Customized Peel Blends
Tailored combinations for specific concerns like melasma, acne scarring, or uneven tone.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each session takes 15–30 minutes, starting with a deep cleanse followed by the application of the peel. You may feel a tingling or warm sensation as the peel works on your skin.
Post-treatment effects vary by peel depth:
- Superficial peels: Mild redness and flaking for 1–3 days
- Medium peels: Peeling and dryness for 3–7 days
A soothing cream and sunblock will be applied afterward. Avoid sun exposure and exfoliating products during recovery.
