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”.
