A medium-depth medical peel with glutathione. One of the few peels genuinely safe across all skin types, including for melasma.
The Perfect Derma Peel is a blended medium-depth peel — TCA, salicylic acid, retinoic acid and kojic acid, with glutathione as the distinguishing ingredient.
Glutathione is a potent antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitor, which is why this peel is one of the few that is genuinely safe on deeper skin tones and useful in melasma, where many treatments make things worse.
The application takes fifteen minutes and stings briefly. The peeling starts around day three and is done by day five. What emerges is brighter, more even, and noticeably smoother.
Melasma and sun damage concentrate melanin in the epidermis and upper dermis.
A blended acid solution with glutathione is layered on, controlling both exfoliation and pigment production.
Damaged, pigmented cells shed across three to five days and fresh, even skin replaces them.
Step 01
Free. Melasma needs a pre-treatment plan, so we may start you on products first.
Step 02
Fifteen minutes. Stinging and warmth for the first few minutes, then it settles.
Step 03
Skin looks tight and slightly darker. No visible peeling yet.
Step 04
Peeling begins and finishes. Do not pick — let it come away on its own.
Noticeably, from around day three to day five. It is sheet-like around the mouth and chin, flakier elsewhere. Plan for a few days where you would rather not be photographed.
It is one of the better options, largely because of the glutathione. But melasma is chronic and needs a maintenance plan — a peel alone will not hold it. We will be upfront about that.
A strong tingle and heat for the first few minutes of application, then it fades. A fan helps. It is brief and very manageable.
Yes — this is one of its main advantages. Many peels risk post-inflammatory pigmentation on deeper skin; this formulation is designed to be safer, and we still patch test.
No. Picking is the single most common cause of scarring and pigment problems after a peel. Moisturise and let it release on its own.
One patient at a time, by appointment. No packages, no pressure, and an honest answer even when it isn’t the one that books.
