Chemical Peels at a glance
A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation in which a professional-grade acid solution removes dead and damaged surface skin cells so fresher skin can come through. At Srihouse Luna we offer glycolic, salicylic, lactic, TCA, enzyme and combination peels, matched to your skin type and concern, such as pigmentation, acne or dullness.
Types of peels we offer
- Glycolic peel: brightening and smoothing for dull, uneven skin.
- Salicylic peel: oil-soluble, ideal for acne-prone and oily skin with clogged pores.
- Lactic peel: gentle and hydrating, good for sensitive or dry skin.
- TCA peel: a medium-depth peel for stubborn pigmentation and texture.
- Enzyme peel: fruit-enzyme exfoliation for very sensitive skin.
- Combination peels: tailored blends for specific concerns such as melasma.
Choosing the right peel
The right peel depends on your skin type, Indian skin tone, the concern you want to treat and how much downtime you can manage. We always assess first, may do a patch test, and usually begin with a lighter peel before increasing strength.
After your peel
Light peels usually cause no visible peeling. Medium peels can cause light flaking for two to five days. Do not pick or scrub the skin, keep it moisturised, and use sunscreen every day, because fresh skin is more sensitive to the sun.

Chemical Peels: frequently asked questions
Are chemical peels safe for Indian skin?
Yes, when the right peel and strength are chosen and aftercare is followed. We start gently, especially on darker or sensitive skin, to avoid irritation.
Will my skin peel after a chemical peel?
Light peels usually cause no visible peeling. Medium-depth peels such as TCA can cause light flaking for a few days.
How many chemical peel sessions do I need?
Most concerns need four to six sessions spaced two to four weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance peels.
Can I go out in the sun after a peel?
Avoid direct sun for a few days and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, reapplying when you are outdoors.
Results vary from person to person. Session numbers and timelines are typical guides that we confirm at your consultation. Read our medical disclaimer.
