Chemical Peels

Chemical peels use professional-grade acids to exfoliate the skin’s surface, remove dead cells, and stimulate new cell turnover.

At Shak Smith Aesthetics, we use customised peel protocols to treat:

These aren’t harsh or one-size-fits-all. We tailor every peel to your skin type, tone, and goals — with minimal downtime and real results.

Ideal For Clients Who...

Consultation:
We’ll assess your skin type and goals, then select the right peel strength and formula (e.g. glycolic, lactic, salicylic, mandelic).

Treatment:
Your skin is prepped, the peel is applied for a specific time, and then neutralised. You may feel tingling or warmth.

Aftercare:
You’ll be given a post-peel kit and advice. Peeling is usually minimal and occurs around days 2–4 depending on the peel strength.

Will I peel badly?
→ Most clients experience light shedding, not intense peeling. We choose gentle yet effective formulas.

Can I go out after?
→ Yes — you may be slightly flushed or dry, but you can return to normal activities immediately.

Can I wear makeup?
→ Best to wait 24–48 hours and follow the aftercare advice for best results.

Excellent all round - thank you
