Quick Answer

Professional skin peels in Christchurch at Silk Clinical Aesthetics use clinical-grade ASAP formulations to exfoliate, improve tone and clarity, and reduce pigmentation. Treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the peel. Pricing starts at $99 for an express peel, with the deluxe peel and microdermabrasion combination at $130. Mild flaking may occur for 2 to 5 days with stronger peels. A series of treatments delivers cumulative results.

What Are Professional Skin Peels?

Professional skin peels use clinical-grade acid solutions to remove the outermost layers of dead skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin beneath. At Silk Clinical, we use ASAP (Australian Skincare and Aesthetics Professionals) products, which are formulated for effective results with minimal irritation.

How Do Skin Peels Work?

The active ingredients in the peel solution dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, accelerating natural exfoliation. This stimulates cell turnover, promotes collagen production, and allows newer, healthier skin to surface. Different peel strengths and formulations target different concerns.

What to Expect

Treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the type of peel. You may feel a tingling or warming sensation during application. Your nurse will select the appropriate peel based on your skin type, concerns, and sensitivity level.

Results and Recovery

Results include improved skin tone and clarity, reduced pigmentation, smoother texture, and a refreshed appearance. Mild peeling or flaking may occur for 2 to 5 days depending on the peel strength. Sun protection is essential following treatment.

Care · Skin Peels

Before and after.

01Before your appointment

  • Stop retinoids and strong exfoliating actives for 3 to 7 days before, as advised at booking.
  • Tell us about recent isotretinoin (Roaccutane) use, cold sore history, and any recent sun exposure or sunburn.
  • Do not wax, shave closely, or use depilatories on the area for 48 to 72 hours before.

02On the day

  • Tingling and warmth during the peel are expected. Skin may look flushed when you leave.

03The first 48 hours

  • Gentle cleanser and moisturiser only. No actives, no exfoliation, no makeup for 12 to 24 hours.
  • No saunas, steam, swimming, or strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
  • SPF 50 every day, without exception.

04The days after

  • Light flaking or peeling may appear around day 2–4 depending on peel depth. Do not pick or peel skin off; let it release on its own, or risk pigmentation and scarring.
  • Resume actives only when fully settled and as advised, typically 5 to 7 days.
  • Strict sun protection for at least 2 to 4 weeks.

Frequently asked questions

This depends on the type of peel and your skin goals. Express peels can be done every 2 to 4 weeks, while stronger peels may require 4 to 6 weeks between sessions. Your nurse will recommend a schedule.

ASAP peels are formulated to be effective with minimal irritation, and we offer different strengths to suit various skin types. Your nurse will assess your skin and select the most appropriate option.

Express peels have minimal downtime, with possible slight redness for a few hours. Stronger peels may cause mild peeling for 2 to 5 days. You can typically return to normal activities the same day.

Yes. Peels pair well with microdermabrasion (we offer a deluxe combination package) and can complement other skin treatments. Your nurse will advise on the best combination for your goals.

Improved skin clarity, more even tone, reduced pigmentation, smoother texture, and a refreshed appearance. A series of treatments delivers cumulative results.

Sun protection is essential: freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV, so apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and avoid deliberate sun exposure. Expect possible mild peeling or flaking for 2 to 5 days with stronger peels, and let it shed naturally rather than picking. Your nurse will give you aftercare guidance specific to the peel you had.

Worth knowing about

The one we most often pair with this.

The best results rarely come from a single treatment. This is the one we reach for most often alongside it, and the reason it earns its place in your plan.

Ultraformer MPT HIFU

Latest Generation HIFU

Lift the SMAS layer, not just the surface

Peels refine the surface, on tone and texture. Ultraformer MPT works far deeper, lifting the SMAS layer, and its needle-free Ultra Booster can drive a Salmon DNA (polynucleotide) booster into freshly resurfaced skin for regeneration. Surface renewal and deep repair make a more complete plan than either on its own.
