Short answer: Chemical peel treatment may help selected concerns such as acne, pigmentation, texture and dullness. Peel type and strength should be chosen after dermatologist assessment of skin type and sensitivity.
This information is educational and does not replace an in-person dermatologist consultation. Suitability, safety, downtime, cost, number of sessions and results vary by patient.
The chemical solution dissolves dead skin cell bonds at a controlled depth, superficial or medium, based on your concern.
As the old skin sheds, new cells regenerate, which may support smoother, clearer-looking skin; results vary.
Different acids (glycolic, salicylic, TCA, mandelic) target different layers and skin concerns the right choice makes all the difference.
How It Works
A chemical peel is a medical procedure in which a carefully selected chemical solution is applied to the skin to accelerate exfoliation, remove damaged outer layers, and stimulate the growth of new, healthier skin cells beneath. Unlike physical exfoliants, chemical peels work at the cellular level supporting controlled skin renewal that may help selected concerns such as acne, pigmentation, texture, ageing-related dullness, and uneven tone.
The term “peeling” can sound alarming, but a well-planned clinic-based peel is controlled and should be selected according to skin assessment. Dermatologist supervision is critical choosing the wrong peel type, concentration, or depth for a patient’s skin type (especially Indian skin tones) can cause complications. At Cult Aesthetics Dermatology, every peel is planned and supervised by a dermatologist.
From superficial lunch-break glycolic peels to medium-depth TCA treatments for deeper pigmentation and acne scars our range covers selected skin concerns with protocols planned around your skin type, sensitivity, and treatment goals.
Clinical note: Chemical peel suitability and results can vary depending on skin type, sensitivity, active acne, pigmentation depth, recent procedures, sun exposure, medical history, and the type and strength of peel used. A dermatologist-led consultation helps decide whether a peel is appropriate and how it should be planned safely.
Choosing the Right Peel
The depth of a chemical peel determines what it treats, how much downtime is required, and how noticeable the results can be. Your dermatologist selects the appropriate depth based on your skin concern and type.
🌿
Target the outermost epidermis. Ideal for mild concerns dullness, surface pigmentation, mild acne, and regular skin maintenance. Downtime is usually minimal and varies by patient. Can be repeated every 2–3 weeks.
🔥
Penetrate into the upper dermis. Treat moderate pigmentation, acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, and more established hyperpigmentation. Light peeling for 3–5 days. May be considered for Indian skin when done carefully.
⚡
Reach the mid to deep dermis. Reserved for significant sun damage, deep wrinkles, and severe acne scars. Stronger effect, but needs careful patient selection used selectively in Indian skin due to PIH risk. Significant recovery required.
Our Peel Menu
Each peel acid targets different skin concerns at different depths. Your dermatologist selects and often combines these based on your skin analysis.
A commonly used peel for oily, acne-prone skin. Oil-soluble beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into pores, may help dissolve sebum and reduce acne-causing bacteria (C. acnes) and inflammation. Often considered for blackheads, whiteheads, and oily skin. Sessions: 4–6, every 2 weeks.
A commonly used AHA peel. Smallest molecular size means deepest penetration. May support cell turnover and help with selected pigmentation, fine lines, texture and radiance; results vary. Available in concentrations from 20% (superficial) to 70% (medium-depth).
A commonly used AHA option for Indian and darker skin tones. Its larger molecular size allows gentler, more gradual penetration and may reduce irritation risk when selected appropriately. It may be used for mild pigmentation, acne marks, and sensitive skin types after assessment.
A gentle, hydrating AHA derived from milk. Exfoliates while simultaneously delivering moisturisation making it ideal for dry, sensitive, or dehydrated skin. Improves texture, reduces dullness, and subtly brightens with minimal peeling or discomfort.
A medium-depth peel that may help selected acne scars, deeper pigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines. At 15–35%, TCA may be suitable for some Indian skin types; suitability depends on your skin type and medical history, which we assess first. Requires 3–7 days of downtime.
A carefully balanced combination of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol delivering the benefits of multiple acids in a single, synergistic formula. May be considered for moderate pigmentation, acne scars, and uneven texture. A medium-depth option at our clinic.
This table shows the peels commonly considered for common skin concerns. It is a guide, not a prescription.
| Concern | Peels commonly considered | Typical depth |
|---|---|---|
| Oily or acne-prone skin and active breakouts | Salicylic; mandelic | Superficial |
| Acne marks and post-inflammatory pigmentation | Mandelic; glycolic; salicylic if acne is still active; Jessner's in selected cases | Superficial (Jessner's: superficial to medium) |
| Dullness and uneven texture | Glycolic; mandelic | Superficial |
| Melasma and pigmentation | Mandelic; glycolic. A careful, assessment-led plan; not suitable for everyone. | Superficial |
| Sensitive skin | Mandelic, after assessment. A peel may not suit every sensitive skin. | Superficial |
| Fine lines and texture | Glycolic; TCA (medium-depth) only after assessment | Superficial (glycolic); medium (TCA) |
The peel, its strength and the number of sessions are chosen after a skin assessment with Dr Jaspreet Gulati, MD (Dermatology).

Step by Step
Every peel at Cult Aesthetics follows a dermatologist-supervised, step-by-step protocol designed with patient safety in mind.
01
Your dermatologist reviews your skin history, concern, current medications, and Fitzpatrick type. A peel type, concentration, and depth are recommended. A pre-peel priming regimen (Vitamin C, retinol, or kojic acid) may be prescribed for 2–4 weeks to optimise results.
02
On peel day, skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove all traces of makeup, sunscreen, and oil. A degreasing solution is applied to ensure even penetration of the chemical solution across the treatment area.
03
The selected peel solution is applied in controlled layers using a brush or gauze. You may feel mild tingling or warmth, which intensifies slightly with deeper peels. The dermatologist carefully monitors the skin's response throughout.
04
After the correct dwell time, the peel is neutralised and removed. For superficial peels, this occurs after just 2–5 minutes. Medium-depth peels may remain slightly longer. The neutralisation step stops the peel action precisely when needed.
05
A soothing, barrier-repair serum and moisturiser are applied immediately after the peel. For deeper peels, a calming mask or occlusive barrier may also be used to minimise redness and support healing.
06
You'll receive a written aftercare guide and a prescription kit typically including a gentle cleanser, barrier moisturiser, and SPF 50+. Your next session is scheduled based on your skin's response and the peel type used.

Common Questions
For superficial peels (glycolic, lactic or mandelic), a course of about 4–6 sessions, 2–3 weeks apart, is common. Medium-depth peels usually need fewer sessions. Your dermatologist decides the number based on your skin concern, the peel type and how your skin responds.
Peels can be used on Indian skin when the peel type and strength are chosen for your skin. Darker skin types (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) have a higher risk of pigmentation after a peel, so gentler peels such as mandelic or lactic acid are often preferred. At Cult Aesthetics Dermatology the peel is chosen after a skin assessment; suitability depends on pigmentation tendency, sensitivity, active acne, sun exposure and medical history.
There is no single best peel for every patient. The peel type and strength depend on acne activity, pigmentation type, sensitivity, recent treatments, sun exposure and dermatologist assessment. A dermatologist may consider salicylic, mandelic, glycolic, Jessner’s or TCA peels, or a combination plan, depending on suitability.
Most people feel mild tingling, warmth or slight stinging while a superficial peel is on the skin, usually for a few minutes. Medium-depth peels can feel warmer. The sensation settles soon after the peel is neutralised or removed. Superficial peels do not usually need anaesthesia; comfort varies by peel type, strength and skin sensitivity.
Superficial peels (glycolic, mandelic, or salicylic at lower strengths) usually mean little downtime, often mild flaking for 1–3 days, and many people return to work the same day. Medium-depth peels can cause visible peeling for about 3–7 days. Redness, dryness or sensitivity may occur and vary by peel type and skin response.
After a superficial peel, mineral sunscreen can usually be applied the same day and light makeup within about 24 hours if the skin is not irritated. After a medium-depth peel, avoid makeup for about 5–7 days while the skin heals. Do not pick or pull peeling skin; let it shed naturally to lower the risk of irritation, marks or scarring.
Chemical peel planning depends on skin assessment, peel type, treatment area, session count, skin sensitivity, and dermatologist guidance. The clinic team can share current charges and suitability guidance during consultation.
