The Power of Chemical Peels
Women have been using chemical peels for over 2,000 years! Cleopatra soaked in milk baths to smooth her skin. The active ingredient in milk is lactic acid (an alpha hydroxy acid, or AHA) and these acids (along with beta-hydroxy acids or BHAs) are still among the most commonly used types in modern peels,
Chemical Peels have been around for a long time for a good reason… they work. These days, the term ‘chemical peel’ applies to so many different formulations ranging from weaker glycolic peels that can be done at home to the strongest Phenol peels that often require sedation or general anesthesia.
Our range of chemical peels at Hamilton Skin Clinic can correct acne, age spots, discoloration, tone, fine lines (especially under the eyes and around the mouth), freckles, melasma, sun damage, and more.

Chemical Peels Options
AHA | Glycolic
AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) peels, particularly glycolic peels, use glycolic acid derived from sugar cane. These peels exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing fresher, smoother skin beneath.
Glycolic peels are effective for treating fine lines, uneven skin tone, and mild hyperpigmentation. They improve skin texture and radiance, reduce pore size, and help with acne. Suitable for all skin types, they provide a gentle yet effective exfoliation with minimal downtime.
Suitable for all skin types, especially those looking for gentle exfoliation and improved radiance.
Salacylic | Lactic
Salicylic acid, a BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid), is oil-soluble, making it ideal for oily and acne-prone skin. Lactic acid, an AHA, is milder and derived from milk, suitable for sensitive skin.
Salicylic peels penetrate deep into pores, unclogging them and reducing acne and blackheads. Lactic peels gently exfoliate, hydrate, and improve skin texture, reducing fine lines and hyperpigmentation. Together, they offer comprehensive exfoliation for smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin.
Ideal for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types seeking comprehensive exfoliation.
Jessner's
Jessner’s peels combine salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol. This medium-depth peel is designed for a more intensive exfoliation, effectively treating a variety of skin concerns.
Jessner’s peels are highly effective for treating severe acne, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. They improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin tone. The treatment promotes deep skin rejuvenation with visible results after a short recovery period.
Suitable for those with severe acne, sun damage, and significant hyperpigmentation.
Trichloroacetic Acid
Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) peels are medium to deep chemical peels that penetrate deeper into the skin layers. They are suitable for addressing more pronounced skin issues.
TCA peels are effective for treating severe sun damage, deep wrinkles, and significant hyperpigmentation. They promote collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness. This peel provides substantial rejuvenation, offering long-lasting results for a smoother, more youthful complexion.
Ideal for individuals with deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, and significant hyperpigmentation.
Cosmelan
Cosmelan peels are a professional depigmentation treatment designed to reduce dark spots and melasma. This unique peel regulates melanin production, providing a uniform skin tone.
Cosmelan peels significantly reduce hyperpigmentation, including melasma and age spots. They improve skin radiance, texture, and clarity. The treatment also helps control acne and oily skin, offering a comprehensive solution for a clearer, brighter, and more even complexion.
Best suited for those with melasma, age spots, and uneven skin tone seeking comprehensive depigmentation.

I’m in my late 40s and without fail always come out of my treatment so happy with the natural youthful look Jo gives me. Honestly you will not be disappointed- highly recommended - Nat SLaura Laa22 July 2022As a total novice I was terrified of looking.obviously done up. I was convinced subtlety couldn't really be achieved. I was so nervous about the results of my lip filler looking obvious against my soft features, but Jo worked genuine wonders. The result was believable, soft and subtle, a far cry from the protruding, stretched out lips I was desperate to avoid. I didn't think filler would be for me so I am particularly surprised by how confident I now feel, totally unafraid to see the people I know and love. Thank you, Jo!Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 70 reviews
