chemical peels

At Laser Genie, I use the Cimel and Meline professional skincare lines which are advanced Spanish brands known worldwide for their results in treating pigmentation, aging, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Cimel is best known for its innovative “cold peel” technology, which gently resurfaces the skin to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. It includes in-clinic treatments and maintenance products like the Cimel Maintenance Mask (to improve tone and radiance), the Activator Peel (to boost results), and post-care like Cimel Dry Skin Repair (DSR) to soothe and restore.

Meline offers a comprehensive approach to pigmentation across all skin tones and types. With professional-grade peels, targeted homecare, and specialized solutions, it addresses concerns such as melasma, dark circles, sensitive or ethnic skin, and even intimate area hyperpigmentation. Meline also provides innovative treatments like IntraDermal microneedling for deeper pigmentation correction.

Both brands combine in-clinic treatments with at-home protocols, ensuring long-lasting results and healthier, brighter, more radiant skin.

Chemical Peels FAQ

What are some of the benefits of Chemical Peels?

A chemical peel dissolves top layers of skin, the “stratum corneum”. Some go a little deeper into the epidermis depending on the type of peel and the concentration of the peeling agent. This rekindles collagen production, increases cellular turnover, and builds up a better-looking complexion – evening skin tone, and refining the epidermis (the top layer of skin).

What skin concerns can chemical peels treat?

Chemical peels can help improve age spots, fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, dullness, and hyperpigmentation. They also help balance oil production, hydrate the skin, and restore a brighter, more youthful glow.

Is there downtime after a peel?

You may notice mild redness or light flaking for a few days after your treatment, depending on the type of peel. Most clients return to normal activities right away and enjoy visible results as their skin renews.

How many treatments will I need?

Results vary depending on your goals and skin condition. Many clients see noticeable improvements after just one peel, but for best results, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is often recommended.

What does a Chemical Peel feel like?

Some clients describe the peel to feel like a mild sting or tingle during the treatment. The lighter the peel – the less downtime to recover.

What can I expect after a Chemical Peel?

During recovery time, (these peels are pretty superficial with little to no downtime), you may experience light flaking, peeling, and redness. But afterwards, many clients report more radiant complexions with diminished appearance of acne, rough skin, freckles and sun damage. The peel can also improve the appearance of fine lines and pores. A peel can safely break down the buildup of the skin’s imperfections that naturally occur with time, and subsequently will have an “Oh Wow!” effect. A reaction I’m seeing and hearing often.

Are chemical peels safe for all skin types?

Yes! Both Cimel and Meline are designed to be safe and effective across a wide range of skin tones and types, including sensitive and ethnic skin. Treatments are customized to your specific needs.

Do I need special aftercare?

Yes, proper aftercare is key. I’ll recommend homecare products (often from Cimel or Meline) to maintain results, and you’ll need to wear daily SPF to protect your skin after treatment.

When will I see results?

Most clients notice brighter, smoother skin within a week, with continued improvement as collagen and elastin rebuild over time.

BEFORE & AFTERS

Laura

Laura has been getting treated by Laser Genie for many years now, since 2017! She enjoys her IPL facials, and Microneedling. She's done the Chemical Peel protocol twice, and has this to say about it: "No make up and so happy with my results with minimal peeling and irritation! My skin has been flawless and no more blackheads since your treatment. The creams and serums are awesome!"

Kat

Kat achieved amazing reduction of pigment from her Chemical Peel protocol. Her journey was as follows: Pre-peel at-home skin prep for 4 weeks. Then an in-clinic peel followed by an in-clinic microneedling protocol (to get deep at the root of the melanocytes), while maintaining the results with the at-home skin care.
