If you’ve been struggling with dull, tired-looking skin, stubborn acne scars, uneven pigmentation, or early signs of aging, you’re not alone.

The good news? Chemical peels offer a clinically proven, safe, and effective solution to transform your complexion from the inside out. At Ritual Aesthetics – Skin, Face & Body Clinic, we specialize in advanced chemical exfoliation treatments that gently remove damaged outer layers, stimulate fresh skin cell renewal, and reveal the radiant, smooth, and youthful skin you’ve been dreaming of.
Whether you’re dealing with active acne, dark spots, melasma, rough texture, or just want that coveted healthy glow, our range of professional-grade chemical peels is designed to address your unique skin concerns with precision and care.
Available at our clinic serving both Islamabad and Rawalpindi, we offer personalized peel treatments tailored to your skin type, concern, and lifestyle.
What Is a Chemical Peel and How Does It Work
A Chemical Peel in Rawalpindi and Islamabad is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation peel that uses specially formulated dermatology-grade chemical solutions to exfoliate and remove the outermost damaged layers of skin. Think of it as a deep reset button for your complexion.
The process works by applying a carefully selected solution to your face, which gently dissolves the bonds holding dead, dull, and damaged skin cells together. As these old layers shed away naturally over the following days, fresh, new skin emerges underneath—smoother, brighter, and more even in tone.
Chemical peels come in different strengths and formulations, ranging from superficial peels that work on the surface layer for a quick glow, to medium-depth peels that penetrate deeper to tackle stubborn pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines. The depth and type of peel used depends entirely on your skin concern, sensitivity, and desired results.
What makes chemical peels so effective is their ability to not just remove dead skin, but also stimulate collagen production deep within the skin. This means you’re not only getting immediate radiance, but also long-term improvement in skin texture and tone, elasticity, and overall health.
At Ritual Aesthetics, our skilled team assesses your skin carefully before recommending the right chemical peel treatment for your specific needs.
Skin Concerns That Chemical Peels Can Treat
Chemical peels are incredibly versatile and can address a wide range of skin issues that many of us face on a daily basis.
Acne, Acne Scars, and Acne Marks
If you’re dealing with active breakouts, old acne scars, or dark marks left behind by healed pimples, chemical peels can help. By exfoliating congested pores and promoting cell turnover, peels reduce inflammation, fade dark spots, and smooth out uneven texture caused by scarring.
Stubborn Pigmentation, Melasma, and Sun Spots
Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common concerns we see at our clinic. Whether it’s melasma from hormonal changes, sun damage, or dark patches from old acne, chemical peels work to break down excess melanin deposits and bring back an even, bright complexion.
Dull, Uneven Skin Tone
If your skin looks tired, lifeless, or patchy, a brightening chemical peel can bring back that natural radiance. It removes the buildup of dead cells that makes your face look grey and flat, revealing the fresh glow underneath.
Fine Lines, Wrinkles, and Early Aging
Chemical peels aren’t just for acne and pigmentation—they’re also powerful anti aging peel treatments. By boosting collagen and smoothing out surface lines, peels can soften wrinkles, tighten pores, and give you a more youthful appearance.
Rough Texture and Large Pores
Uneven skin texture, bumpy surfaces, and enlarged pores can make makeup sit poorly and skin feel rough to the touch. Chemical peels refine texture, minimize pores, and create a silky-smooth canvas.
For those looking for additional texture improvement, treatments like Skin Rejuvenation or Microneedling can complement your chemical peel journey beautifully.
Types of Chemical Peels We Offer
At Ritual Aesthetics, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of dermatologist-approved chemical peels, each formulated to target specific skin concerns and suit different skin types.
After a detailed skin assessment, our experts will recommend the best peel for you. Here’s what we offer:
Glycolic Acid Peel
The Glycolic acid peel is one of the most popular superficial peels, especially for those new to chemical peels. Derived from sugar cane, glycolic acid has the smallest molecular size, which means it penetrates quickly and works effectively to brighten dull skin, improve skin texture, and give you that instant glow.
It’s ideal for reducing early signs of aging, improving skin clarity, and addressing mild pigmentation. This peel is safe for all skin types and requires little to no downtime, making it perfect for busy schedules.
Lactic Acid Peel
If you have sensitive or dry skin, the lactic acid peel is your go-to option. Gentler than glycolic acid, lactic acid not only exfoliates but also hydrates and soothes the skin. It’s derived from milk and is excellent for those who want radiance without irritation.
This peel is perfect for first-timers, people with rosacea-prone skin, or anyone looking for a mild yet effective skin rejuvenation peel.
Salicylic Acid Peel
The Salicylic acid peel is a game-changer for anyone struggling with oily, acne-prone skin. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which means it can penetrate deep into clogged pores, dissolve sebum, and clear out blackheads and whiteheads.
This peel is especially effective for active acne, reducing inflammation, controlling oil production, and preventing future breakouts. It also helps fade post-acne marks and improve overall skin clarity.
TCA Chemical Peel
The TCA chemical peel is a medium-depth peel that delivers more dramatic results. TCA (trichloroacetic acid) is used to treat deeper pigmentation, acne scars, sun damage, and rough texture.
Because it penetrates more deeply than superficial peels, it stimulates significant collagen production and skin renewal. It’s ideal for those who want serious improvement and are prepared for a few days of peeling and recovery.
This peel is often recommended for mature skin, stubborn dark spots, and those seeking a more intensive skin rejuvenation treatment.
Yellow Peel Treatment
The Yellow peel treatment is an advanced multi-action peel that combines retinol, vitamins, and acids to target pigmentation, melasma, acne, and early aging all at once. It’s called “yellow” because of the distinctive color it leaves on the skin temporarily.
This peel is particularly effective for those with combination concerns—like pigmentation plus dullness plus fine lines. It’s safe for all skin types and offers a balanced approach to total skin transformation.
Cosmelan Peel
The Cosmelan peel is considered one of the most advanced and effective treatments for stubborn hyperpigmentation, melasma, and long-term discoloration. Unlike standard peels, Cosmelan works by inhibiting melanin production at the source, which means it doesn’t just remove dark spots—it prevents them from coming back.
This premium peel involves an in-clinic application followed by a take-home maintenance routine. It’s ideal for those with severe pigmentation who want lasting, professional-grade results.
For those looking for additional texture improvement, treatments like Skin Rejuvenation or Microneedling can complement your chemical peel journey beautifully.
Chemical Peel Process and Treatment Steps
Wondering what actually happens during a face chemical peel session? Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of what you can expect when you visit Ritual Aesthetics:
Step 1: Consultation and Skin Assessment
Your treatment begins with a thorough consultation. Our aesthetician will examine your skin type, discuss your concerns, review your skincare history, and recommend the most suitable peel for your needs.
Step 2: Cleansing
Your face is deeply cleansed to remove all traces of makeup, oil, and impurities. This ensures the peel can penetrate evenly and work effectively.
Step 3: Prepping the Skin
A prepping solution may be applied to degrease the skin and enhance peel penetration.
Step 4: Peel Application
The chosen chemical solution is carefully applied to your face using a brush or applicator. You may feel a mild tingling, warmth, or slight stinging sensation—this is completely normal and indicates the peel is working.
Step 5: Monitoring
The peel is left on for a specific amount of time, depending on the type and strength. Our team monitors your skin closely to ensure optimal results without irritation.
Step 6: Neutralizing (if needed)
Some peels require neutralization with water or a neutralizing solution to stop the chemical reaction. Others are self-neutralizing and naturally deactivate over time.
Step 7: Soothing and Hydration
After the peel is removed, a calming mask, serum, or moisturizer is applied to soothe the skin and lock in hydration.
Step 8: Post-Care Instructions
Before you leave, you'll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the best results and a smooth recovery.
What to Expect After a Chemical Peel
One of the most exciting parts of getting a chemical peel is watching your skin transform day by day. Here’s what the journey typically looks like:
Immediately After
Right after your treatment, your skin may look slightly red or pink, similar to a mild sunburn. You’ll also notice an immediate glow and smoother texture, especially with lighter peels like glycolic or lactic acid.
Days 2 to 4
Depending on the type of peel, you may start to experience light flaking or peeling. This is your skin shedding the old, damaged layers—don’t pick at it! Let it happen naturally. Some peels, like salicylic or lactic, may cause minimal peeling, while deeper peels like TCA can result in more visible shedding.
Days 5 to 7
This is when the magic really happens. As the peeling subsides, you’ll reveal fresh, bright, and incredibly smooth skin underneath. Dark spots and acne marks will appear lighter, pores will look smaller, and your overall complexion will be more even and radiant.
Weeks 2 to 4
Your skin continues to improve as new collagen forms and cell turnover accelerates. Fine lines soften, pigmentation fades further, and your skin feels firmer and more youthful.
For deeper peels like TCA or Cosmelan, full results can take a few weeks to fully develop, but the transformation is well worth the wait.
After-Effects and Recovery
It’s completely normal to experience some temporary side effects after a skin peeling treatment. Here’s what’s expected:
Redness
Your skin may appear pink or red for a few hours to a couple of days, depending on the peel depth. This is a sign that your skin is healing and renewing.
Dryness and Tightness
As your skin begins to peel, it may feel tight or dry. This is temporary and will subside once the peeling process is complete.
Mild Peeling or Flaking
Light to moderate peeling is normal and expected. It usually starts 2 to 3 days after treatment and lasts for about 3 to 5 days. Deeper peels may peel for up to a week.
Sensitivity
Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, heat, and harsh products for at least a week after your peel. This is why proper aftercare is so important.
These effects are temporary and completely safe when your treatment is performed at a professional aesthetic clinic like Ritual Aesthetics. Our team provides full support throughout your recovery to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.
Aftercare for Best Results
Following the right aftercare routine is essential to maximize your results and protect your newly revealed skin. Here’s how to care for your skin post-peel:
Wear SPF Daily
Sunscreen is non-negotiable. Your skin is more vulnerable to UV damage after a peel, so apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen every morning, even if you're indoors.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and comfortable. Avoid heavy or comedogenic creams that could clog pores.
Avoid Sun Exposure
Stay out of direct sunlight for at least 7 to 10 days. If you must go out, wear a wide-brimmed hat and reapply sunscreen frequently.
Use a Gentle Cleanser
Wash your face with a mild, non-foaming cleanser. Avoid scrubs, brushes, or anything abrasive.
Don't Pick or Peel Manually
It's tempting, but don't peel the skin yourself. Let it shed naturally to avoid scarring, irritation, or infection.
Skip Exfoliants and Active Ingredients
Avoid using retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, or any other active skincare products for at least one week. Stick to gentle, soothing products only.
Avoid Heat and Sweating
Stay away from saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and intense workouts for at least 48 hours after your peel.
Follow Your Aesthetician's Instructions
Every peel is different, and so is every person's skin. Follow the specific aftercare advice provided by your Ritual Aesthetics team for the best outcome.
