WHAT is a chemical peel?

Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that can be applied to the face, chest, hands, and neck. Chemical peel treatments are an excellent choice for a wide range of skin concerns, from acne and hyperpigmentation to advanced signs of ageing. A Chemical peel is a treatment that will gently and safely improve acne and breakouts, skin hydration, sun damaged skin and lines and wrinkles. The perfect peel for your skin condition will be chosen by our doctors and professional therapists.

At Sonder Private Clinic, Brisbane chemical peels are also used in combination with other treatments to optimise results and enhance the overall effect on the skin. Other treatments to enhance our peels and skin rejuvenation include medical grade skin needling, LED Light Therapy and Peptide masks. We highly recommend doing a course of LED treatments 2 weeks after each peel to maximise the results.

Lactobotanical Peel 60% & 20%

Aspect Dr Lactobotanical Peel is a physician-only, clinical strength peel administered by our doctors or nurses. An effective alternative to Glycolic Acid peels, Lactobotanical peels are epidermal in action and hydrate and brighten the skin.

Lactobotanical Peel takes only 30 minutes. The peel contains lactic acid which is an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) derived from milk, which is combined with Canadian Willowherb (an anti-inflammatory) to create a unique peel with minimal downtime for recovery.
The combination of these ingredients targets the epidermis (the uppermost layer of the skin), breaking down the glue that holds the skin cells together. This enables a faster cell turn-over, resulting in a more youthful appearance to the skin as the healthier layers of skin are brought to the surface more quickly.
For optimal results, a series of peels is recommended and can be 2-4 weeks apart, depending on your downtime and prep for the treatment. Our team of doctors and nurses will provide a treatment plan for you and will explain all your pre and post care advice with you in clinic
Lactobotanical Peel helps improve the appearance of the following skin concerns:
- ageing skin
- hyperpigmentation
- sun damage
- mild acne
- congested, dull or lifeless skin
- dehydrated skin

Skin Needling and chemical peels are both aesthetic treatments that will improve the appearance of the skin. They both stimulate the dermis level of the skin to encourage the production of collagen. The main difference is that skin needling is great for treating sagging skin and wrinkles. Chemical peels work effectively on removing age spots, dark spots and other skin spots. Skin needling is better to get rid of fine lines, deep wrinkles and acne scars.
