Professional grade skin peels can be used to support the natural renewal of the skin’s surface, depending on individual skin concerns and clinical suitability. These treatments are guided by a practitioner following a thorough consultation and assessment.
Lactic acid is a type of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) often used in clinical skincare settings to support exfoliation and skin surface renewal. When applied by a qualified practitioner, lactic acid acts on the outermost layer of the skin (the epidermis), assisting in the natural shedding of dead skin cells and surface debris.
This process may help improve skin texture and promote a more even appearance over time. Lactic acid is considered a gentler AHA option and is sometimes selected for clients with sensitive skin, depending on individual suitability.
As with all AHA-based skincare treatments, post-treatment sun protection is important. Your practitioner will provide guidance on appropriate aftercare and how to incorporate sunscreen into your routine following a peel.

Frequently asked questions
A lactic acid peel is a type of chemical peel that utilises lactic acid, a mild alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin. Lactic acid is derived from milk and is known for its gentle yet effective exfoliating properties. When applied to the skin, it helps to remove dead skin cells, promote cellular turnover, and stimulate collagen production. This results in a smoother, brighter complexion and can improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone, and texture.
Yes, one of the advantages of lactic acid peels is that they are generally suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Lactic acid is a milder exfoliating agent compared to other chemical peels, such as glycolic acid or salicylic acid. Its gentle nature makes it less likely to cause irritation or excessive peeling, making it a preferred choice for individuals with sensitive or dry skin.
However, it is important to consult with a skincare professional to determine the appropriate concentration and duration of the peel based on your skin's specific needs and sensitivity.
During a lactic acid peel, a skincare professional will cleanse your skin and apply the lactic acid solution. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation, but it should not be uncomfortable. The peel is typically left on the skin for a specific duration before being neutralised or rinsed off. After the treatment, you may notice some immediate redness, which should subside within a few hours.
Depending on the strength of the peel, you may experience some mild flaking or peeling in the days following the treatment. It is crucial to protect your skin from the sun and follow any post-peel instructions provided by your skincare professional to optimize the results and minimise the risk of complications.
