What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a controlled application of an acid solution to exfoliate damaged outer layers of the skin, trigger regulated skin renewal and stimulate dermal remodelling.
Depending on formulation and strength, peels can be superficial, medium or deep — and are used to treat acne, pigmentation, fine lines, texture irregularities and certain types of scarring.
Why choose Allodermis for chemical peels?
Doctor led
Every peel is prescribed and supervised by an AIIMS MD dermatologist.
Root cause approach

Safety first
Patch testing, conservative dosing for melanin rich skin, clear pre/post care.
Evidence backed combos
Peels combined with topical priming, sun protection and adjunctive therapies only when indicated.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many peels will I need?
1–3 superficial peels for glow / texture; 3–6 sessions or combination therapy for deeper pigmentation and scarring depending on response.
Are chemical peels safe for Indian skin?
Yes — when prescribed and primed by experienced dermatologists. We use conservative protocols and priming to reduce PIH risk.
Will my skin peel off completely?
Depth dependent. Superficial peels flake lightly; medium peels shed more prominently; deep peels are controlled and monitored.
Can I do a peel if I have melasma?
Yes — but only as part of a protocol (priming, Cosmelan/Inno, strict sun protection). Aggressive peels without priming can worsen melasma.
When can I wear makeup after a peel?
Generally after 24–72 hours for superficial peels once redness subsides; for medium peels wait until active peeling reduces — follow MD advice.
