Skin Peels
Brighten, clarify, and refresh your skin - the gentle way.
What is a Chemical Skin Peel?
Chemical skin peels are non-invasive treatments designed to exfoliate the skin, remove dead skin cells, and encourage cell renewal. Using safe, superficial-strength acids, these peels improve skin tone, texture, and clarity with minimal to no downtime.
At Buen Aesthetics, we offer a range of non-medical grade peels tailored to your skin type and concerns. Whether you’re dealing with breakouts, dullness, fine lines or uneven tone, a customised peel can restore your skin’s natural glow.
How do Skin Peels work?
A carefully formulated acid solution is applied to the skin’s surface, where it gently loosens and removes the upper layer of dead cells. This process stimulates renewal in the deeper layers, promoting clearer, smoother, and more radiant skin.
Our peels use acids such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and polyhydroxy acids (PHAs), depending on your skin goals and sensitivity level.

Frequently asked questions:
Are skin peels safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. We offer mild and hydrating peels suitable for sensitive or reactive skin. A patch test and full skin analysis are included in your consultation.
Will I peel or flake afterwards?
Some clients may experience light flaking or dryness for a few days, depending on the strength of the peel. This is normal and part of the skin renewal process.
How soon will I see results?
You may notice a healthy glow within a few days, with clearer, brighter skin after a course of treatments.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may have mild redness, tightness, or flaking for a short period. Most clients resume daily activities immediately.
Can I wear makeup after a peel?
It’s best to avoid makeup for 24 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to breathe and heal effectively.
How often should I have a skin peel?
For best results, a course of 3 to 6 treatments is usually recommended, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance peels every 2–3 months.
