Chemical Peel Treatment in Nairobi
Have you been struggling with dark spots, uneven skin tone, sun-damage or post-inflammatory marks?
Our chemical peel treatment in Nairobi can help you correct uneven tone, hyperpigmentation and boost your confidence.
A chemical peel is a medically-driven, non-surgical cosmetic treatment where a chemical solution is applied to your skin to safely exfoliate damaged outer layers. After the peel, newer, smoother, more even-toned skin emerges. It’s a popular choice because it addresses multiple concerns at once: fine lines, pigmentation, dullness, uneven texture and more.
What Skin Concerns can it Help with?
Our chemical peel treatments are tailored to the common skin issues:
- Uneven skin-tone & hyperpigmentation (dark spots, sunspots, melasma).
- Dull, tired-looking skin in need of renewal.
- Fine lines & early wrinkles, especially from sun exposure.
- Acne marks and mild scarring, including post-inflammatory dark spots.
- Rough texture or enlarged pores that resist typical facials.
- Sun-damaged areas on the face, neck and hands.
Because we operate from a medical spa environment, we can combine your peel with pre-treatment assessment (including skin history, sun-behaviour) and post-care support for the best results.
How does the Chemical Peel Process Work?
Here’s a clear breakdown of the process you’ll experience when you choose our chemical peel treatment:
1. Expert Consultation
Before starting the treatment, our aesthetician reviews your skin history (past treatments, medications, sun-exposure, pigmentation risks) and your goals. This ensures the right depth of peel is chosen and safety is emphasized.
2. Pre-Treatment Preparation
In the days preceding your peel, you’ll be advised on how to prepare your skin. This may include:
- Avoiding tanning and direct strong sun exposure.
- Discontinuing strong topical retinoids or exfoliants.
- Ensuring your skin is not actively inflamed, broken out or sunburnt.
- Preparation for darker skin types is particularly important, as we emphasize quality results with minimal risk of uneven pigmentation.
3. The Treatment
- Your skin is cleansed thoroughly.
- Protective measures are used.
- A tailored peel solution (e.g., salicylic/glycolic for superficial, TCA for medium) is applied, sometimes using a brush or cotton applicator.
- Mild stinging or warmth is common; our clinic ensures your comfort.
- After the appropriate dwell time, the solution is neutralized if required and your skin is gently cleaned.
- A post-treatment soothing mask/cream is applied.
4. After-care & Results
- Expect the exfoliation/peeling period to begin in the days after treatment.
- You’ll be given post-care instructions: using high-SPF sun protection, avoiding harsh products and using gentle moisturisers.
- For superficial peels: visible improvement within around 1-2 weeks. For medium peels around 2-4 weeks.
- We recommend 3 to 5 sessions spaced 2 to 5 weeks apart for deeper or more stubborn concerns.
- Maintenance with proper skincare, sun avoidance and follow-up visits ensures longer-lasting results.
Special Considerations for Darker Skin Types
If you have richer skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) or frequent direct sun exposure (e.g., Nairobi’s high UV index), a few extra considerations apply:
- The risk of post-inflammatory hyper- or hypopigmentation is higher if pre-treatment prep and after-care are not followed strictly.
- Sun protection is critical. Even mild tanning before a peel can raise risks.
- We often combine peel treatments with pigmentation-specific serums (e.g., chemical pre-conditioning with hydroquinone or retinoids) to optimise outcomes.
- Our clinic customizes peel depth and cadence to avoid overtreatment and deliver safe results.
Real Benefits You’ll See
When performed correctly, a professional chemical peel offers a range of compelling benefits:
- Improved skin texture and tone - your skin looks smoother, more refined.
- Reduced pigment marks, sunspots or uneven tone, especially when combined with our pigmentation protocols.
- Softening of fine lines and early wrinkles, promoting a youthful look without surgery.
- Smaller appearing pores, fresher skin surface, giving your complexion a healthier glow.
- Non-surgical and minimal downtime compared with invasive procedures - ideal for busy Nairobi lifestyles.
- Boost of confidence: when you look better, you feel better.
Safety, Side Effects & What to Expect
As with any cosmetic procedure, some side-effects and safety checks apply:
- Common temporary effects: redness, stinging, flaking or peeling, mild swelling.
- Rare but important risks: uneven pigmentation (especially on darker skin), scarring (very uncommon in professional settings), infection.
- Deep peels require stricter downtime and monitoring.
- The key to safety is: expert consultation, correct skin preparation, appropriate peel depth and rigorous after-care.
In our clinic environment, patient safety is paramount and treatment plans are personalized – not “one size fits all”.
