If you’ve ever wondered what a chemical peel actually does or if it’s as scary as it sounds, you’re not alone! The truth is, peels have come a long way. Modern formulations are far gentler, smarter, and more targeted than ever before.
At Meraki Beauty, we offer a range of professional peels designed to refresh, brighten, and smooth your skin, all with minimal downtime and maximum results. Whether your concern is dullness, fine lines, acne, or uneven tone, there’s a peel to suit every skin type (yes, even sensitive ones).
Let’s take a look at what chemical peels really are, how they work, and which one might be the best fit for your skin.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional level exfoliating treatment that uses active ingredients to gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells. Think of it as a deep, controlled reset for your complexion revealing smoother, brighter, and healthier skin underneath.
By stimulating cell turnover and collagen production, peels can:
Brighten dull, tired skin
Soften fine lines and wrinkles
Unclog pores and reduce congestion
Fade pigmentation and acne marks
Improve overall tone and texture
Are Peels Suitable for Everyone?
Most skin types can benefit from a peel but the key is choosing the right one. That’s why we always start with a consultation to understand your skin type, concerns, and sensitivity before recommending a treatment.
At Meraki Beauty, we offer a carefully selected range of peels from IMAGE Skincare to suit every complexion and goal.
Our Chemical Peel Options at Meraki Beauty
1. Ormedic Lift — The Gentle Glow Getter
A beautiful introduction to peels and perfect for sensitive or unbalanced skin.
This non-chemical, enzyme based peel uses natural fruit enzymes and peptides in an organic aloe vera base to soothe, renew, and balance the skin. It gives instant radiance without irritation which is ideal if you’re new to peels or just want a natural boost.
Best for: Sensitive, dry, or unbalanced skin types
Benefits: Gentle exfoliation, hydration, and an immediate healthy glow
2. Lightening Lift — Brighten and Even Your Complexion
If pigmentation or uneven tone is your main concern, this one’s for you. The Lightening Lift combines botanical brighteners, vitamin C, and anti-ageing peptides to visibly improve discolouration and sun damage. It’s one of our go to treatments for anyone wanting that glass skin glow or to even out dull, blotchy areas.
Best for: Pigmentation, uneven tone, dull or sun-damaged skin
Benefits: Brightens, evens, and gives skin a luminous, refreshed finish
3. Acne Lift — Clear, Confident Skin
For acne prone skin, the Acne Lift is a targeted peel that helps control oil, reduce inflammation, and fade post acne marks.
It uses a blend of alpha and beta hydroxy acids with plant stem cells to deeply purify and reset the skin. Over time, pores appear clearer, breakouts reduce, and skin looks calmer and more balanced.
Best for: Oily, congested, or acne prone skin
Benefits: Reduces breakouts, controls oil, and minimises scarring
4. Wrinkle Lift — The Rejuvenating Powerhouse
If your focus is fine lines, texture, or signs of ageing, this resurfacing peel is for you.
The Wrinkle Lift uses glycolic acid and retinol to boost cell renewal, smooth fine lines, and rejuvenate dull, tired skin. Energising botanicals help purify and refresh, leaving skin noticeably firmer and more youthful.
Best for: Mature or ageing skin, fine lines, and loss of elasticity
Benefits: Firms, resurfaces, and smooths the skin’s texture
What to Expect During Your Peel
Each treatment begins with a thorough cleanse and prep, followed by application of your chosen peel. You might feel a mild tingling sensation, that’s the active ingredients working their magic.
Treatment time is typically around 30–45 minutes, and then the real results kick in a few days later when your skin will look fresh and radiant. Some mild flaking or dryness may appear for the next couple of days after the treatment, depending on the peel’s strength, this is completely normal and temporary.
Aftercare & Ongoing Skin Support
Your skin will be more sensitive post peel, so gentle care is key:
Avoid active ingredients (like retinol or exfoliating acids) for a few days
Keep your skin hydrated with a nourishing moisturiser
Apply SPF daily - this step is non-negotiable
Don’t pick or exfoliate flaking skin, let it shed naturally
We’ll give you full aftercare guidance and product recommendations so your skin heals beautifully and your results last longer.
