Chemical Peels in Gurgaon
A chemical peel uses a controlled acid to lift away the top layers of skin, so fresher, clearer skin can come through. The right peel depends on your skin tone and your concern. On Indian skin, the wrong acid or strength can leave dark marks, so your dermatologist chooses the peel and checks your skin first.
In short
Chemical peels at House of Aetheria, Sector 65, Gurugram, treat pigmentation, acne, dull skin, open pores and some scars. Peels range from light (glycolic, lactic, mandelic, salicylic) with little downtime to medium (TCA, Cosmelan) with about a week of peeling. A dermatologist picks the acid and strength for your skin tone before the first session.

Your visit
What to expect
Consultation
Your dermatologist looks at your skin, your history and your goals, and checks for anything that rules a peel out.
Your plan
You get a plan with the peel type, how many sessions and how far apart. You may be asked to prepare your skin for a few weeks first.
Treatment
Your skin is cleansed, the peel is applied and timed, then neutralised and soothed. A session is short.
Follow-up
Sunscreen and gentle care for the days after. We check progress and adjust the plan between sessions.
Aftercare
Looking after your skin
- Wear sunscreen every day and reapply outdoors
- Do not pick or peel flaking skin. Let it come off on its own
- Use a gentle cleanser and a plain moisturiser
- Skip scrubs, retinoids and strong acids until your doctor says to restart
- Avoid direct sun, saunas and heavy sweating for a few days after medium peels
Straight talk
What results look like
Light peels give a fresher look that builds over a series. Medium peels make a bigger change in tone and texture, with more peeling. Pigmentation can return with sun or hormonal change, so daily sun protection matters as much as the peel. Results vary from person to person.

Straight answers about chemical peels, from our Sector 65 clinic in Gurugram.
It depends on the type of pigmentation and your skin. Light peels like mandelic or glycolic suit mild, surface marks. Stubborn melasma may need a medium peel or a programme like Cosmelan. Your doctor decides after a skin check.
Yes, when the peel and strength are chosen for your skin. Darker skin is more prone to dark marks after a peel, so the choice is made carefully and sun protection is key.
A light peel means a day or two of mild flaking. A medium peel means around a week of visible peeling. You can usually go back to work, and we will tell you what to expect for your peel.
Light peels are often done as a series of several sessions, a few weeks apart. Medium peels are done less often, with several weeks between sessions. Your doctor sets the plan.
Yes. Salicylic and other light peels can help oil, blackheads and mild acne. If acne is inflamed or leaving scars, our <a href="/acne-treatment-dermatologist-gurgaon.php">acne treatment</a> may be a better starting point.
Yes, but plan ahead. A light peel 1 to 2 weeks before gives a fresh look. A medium peel needs more time to settle, so book it at least 3 to 4 weeks before.
Your doctor will not recommend a peel if you have active infection or open wounds on the skin, are pregnant, or have recently used certain acne medicines. Tell us about your health and skin products at your consultation.
The cost depends on the type of peel and how many sessions you need. Our doctor explains the plan and cost at your consultation.
