Chemical Peels

My Skin Boutique Perth offers professional chemical peels using CIRCADIA-formulated acids and enzyme combinations to accelerate cellular turnover, refine skin texture, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve acne-prone or congested skin. Treatments are selected and layered by Rachael Stevens according to the client's Fitzpatrick skin type, sensitivity level, and target concerns, ranging from superficial enzyme and alpha-hydroxy acid peels to medium-depth formulations for more significant skin correction. Pre-peel skin preparation is recommended to optimise results and minimise recovery time.

Chemical peels at My Skin Boutique by CIRCADIA® in Stirling, Perth, are professional-grade exfoliation treatments applied by experienced dermal therapist Rachael Stevens to drive targeted improvement in a range of skin structure and tone concerns. The CIRCADIA professional peel range — formulated around the chrono-biology principle of timed active delivery — provides a comprehensive toolkit of superficial and medium-depth peel options that can be combined or layered for enhanced efficacy. Superficial peels in the CIRCADIA range typically use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, or mandelic acid, which work by dissolving the desmosomes that hold dead corneocytes together at the surface of the stratum corneum, accelerating natural desquamation, refining skin texture, and brightening uneven tone. Enzyme-based peels — derived from botanical sources such as papain (papaya) and bromelain (pineapple) — offer a gentler alternative that hydrolyses the keratin proteins in dead skin cells without the acidity-driven mechanism of AHA peels, making them appropriate for sensitive or reactive skin types or as a maintenance option between deeper treatments. Beta-hydroxy acid peels using salicylic acid are available for acne-prone or congested skin; salicylic acid's lipophilic nature allows it to penetrate sebaceous follicles and dissolve the sebum and cellular debris that contribute to comedone formation, blackheads, and active breakouts. For clients targeting deeper concerns such as actinic pigmentation, moderate melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation from acne scarring, or significant textural irregularity, medium-depth CIRCADIA peel formulations with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or blended acid combinations create a more controlled wound-healing response in the papillary dermis, resulting in more substantial remodelling of pigment distribution and skin surface architecture. Rachael Stevens conducts a thorough skin consultation prior to any chemical peel appointment to determine the appropriate peel depth, pre-peel preparation protocol, and post-peel aftercare plan for each Perth client. Sun avoidance and broad-spectrum SPF use are critical components of the post-peel period, particularly in the high UV environment of Western Australia.
