What is the difference between different chemical peels?
Aside from the varying percentages of active ingredients in each chemical peel, the other difference between chemical peels is the depth in which they can penetrate the epidermis. At Victorian Cosmetic Dermal Clinics, we have 4 depths of peels starting from an enzymatic, very superficial, and superficial to medium depth peels.
Enzymatic Peels are an extremely gentle and comfortable treatment that only target dulling and flaking dead skin cells.
Very Superficial Peels target the upper most layers of the epidermis to promote increased exfoliation and surface hydration for an instantly softer, smoother complexion.
Superficial Peels work deeper within the epidermis to provide concentrated exfoliation and renewal. Targeted ingredients further enhance the action to activate increased hydration and to normalise cellular function.
Medium Depth Peels provide the most active resurfacing and rejuvenation effect within the deepest layers of the epidermis to promote intensive skin correction and regeneration.

Which Chemical Peels do we offer?
Enzymatic Micro Peel
Suitable especially for tight and sensitive skin, these peels are best performed as part of a course or in conjunction with microdermabrasion treatment. The enzymatic micro peel uses enzymes that only remove dead skin cells and do not touch live skin cells and are also suitable in conjunction with other chemical peels, microdermabrasion, skin needling and photo rejuvenation treatments to help remove the flaking dead skin cells.
Ageless Peel
In order to retain youthful skin, the aim of this peel is to speed up the natural shedding process of our skin. As we age, this natural shedding process slows down and factors such as sun damage, diet and lifestyle can also interrupt this process. The ageless peel reduces damage caused by sun exposure and aids in the rebuilding of collagen giving you a more youthful appearance.
Glycolic Acid Peel
Glycolic acid is one of the Alpha-hydroxy acids. Glycolic acid (derived from sugar cane) and lactic acid’s (naturally occurring acid in the body) main function is to remove the top layer of the skin which will speed up the natural shedding process of our skin and result in a fresher, smoother complexion.
