How the treatment works
A chemical peel uses a controlled exfoliating solution applied to the skin for a set period of time. The solution loosens the bonds between cells in the outer layer, encouraging that surface layer to shed and prompting renewal of the skin beneath. This process is designed to help address dullness, uneven texture, and surface congestion.
Peels are available in different strengths, and depth is what determines how the treatment behaves. Lighter, superficial peels work on the uppermost layer and typically produce only mild flaking, while medium-depth peels reach further and can cause more noticeable renewal over several days. Your doctor selects a depth appropriate to your skin type, concerns, and recent sun exposure, rather than applying a single fixed strength to everyone.
As the skin renews, it is common to experience light flaking or peeling in the days afterward. Freshly exposed skin is more sensitive to sunlight, so strict sun protection is an important part of aftercare and supports the result. Your doctor will explain what level of renewal to expect for the peel chosen.
This is a doctor-performed treatment at Sera Aesthetic Clinic, using BPOM-notified products. Suitability is assessed individually; some skin types, recent treatments, or medical histories may mean a particular peel is not recommended.
After cleansing, the solution is applied and you may feel mild tingling or warmth that settles quickly. Your skin can look flushed immediately afterward. Over the following days you may notice light flaking or peeling as the surface renews, which is part of the expected process.

Aftercare guidance
You'll receive instructions on flaking, gentle skincare, and strict sun protection, with WhatsApp support for any questions.
Minimal to a few days. Redness usually settles within hours; light flaking or peeling may continue for 3–7 days depending on peel depth. Strict sun protection is essential during this period.
You'll get specific aftercare guidance before you leave, plus WhatsApp support if you have questions afterwards.
“We match peel strength to your skin and recent sun exposure, and renewal often appears as light flaking over the following days rather than dramatic peeling.”
