What are Medical Grade Chemical Peels?

Medical Grade Chemical Peels are advanced skin rejuvenation treatments designed to improve the appearance, texture and overall health of the skin. The treatment works by applying a carefully formulated chemical solution to the skin, encouraging controlled exfoliation and stimulating cell renewal.

At Yawee Butey, we use professional Medi MD Medical Grade Chemical Peels, which are tailored to address a range of skin concerns. During your consultation, your skin will be assessed and the most appropriate peel selected to achieve your desired results safely and effectively.

Chemical peels can help improve:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Uneven skin tone and texture

  • Sun damage

  • Hyperpigmentation and age spots

  • Acne and acne scarring

  • Congested skin and enlarged pores

  • Dull, tired-looking skin

how long does it last

Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin within a few days following treatment. Results continue to improve as skin cell turnover increases and the skin regenerates.

The longevity of results varies depending on the type of peel used, your skin condition and your home skincare routine. Results typically last 4–6 weeks, and a course of treatments may be recommended for optimal improvement in pigmentation, acne, scarring or signs of ageing.

Regular maintenance treatments can help maintain healthy, radiant skin throughout the year.

After Care

Following your Chemical Peel treatment:

  • Keep the skin clean and well hydrated.

  • Wear a high-factor SPF daily and avoid direct sun exposure.

  • Avoid touching, picking or peeling any flaking skin.

  • Do not use exfoliating products, retinoids or active ingredients until advised.

  • Avoid excessive heat, saunas, steam rooms and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours.

  • Avoid swimming pools and hot tubs for 48 hours.

  • Follow all aftercare advice provided by your practitioner.

Mild redness, tightness, dryness or light peeling may occur following treatment and is a normal part of the skin renewal process.

For best results, it is important to follow the recommended homecare routine and attend any follow-up treatments advised during your consultation.
