Treatment areas
For the treatment of acne, salicylic acid chemical peels are effective at targeting the underlying causes of acne. This includes the acne causing bacteria that are on the face.
The Visia Skin Analysis photo shows a decrease in porphyrins (acne causing bacteria) after a series of chemical peels, indicated by the yellow dots on the photo. Chemical peels using salicylic acid also help to reduce inflammation, reduce oil production, unclog blocked pores and even out stubborn acne marks.

What to expect
Skin Preparation
Your treatment will start with a gentle cleanse to prepare your skin. Vaseline will be applied to sensitive areas (such as the corners of your mouth and nose) to prevent irritation.
Chemical Peel Treatment
The Mesoestetic chemical peel solution will be briefly applied to the skin, before being neutralised. The length that the peel is applied to your skin will depend on your skin type, skin condition and strength of the chemical peel being applied, amongst other factors. BalaBala’s therapists will adjust the length of the chemical peel treatment based on these factors.
Skin Nourishment
The chemical peel will be followed by facial masks and other hydrating products to soothe and calm the skin. The treatment finishes with a LED Light therapy to increase skin cell renewal and aid with the healing process.
Frequently asked questions
Our skin consultations are led by senior skin threapists who provide expert advice on treating various skin concerns. With Visia Skin Analysis, our therapists create a personalised treatment plan just for you.
Who are chemical peels suitable for?
All skin types can benefit from chemical peels. Based on your skin type and skin concerns, our skin experts will recommend a chemical peel to suit your skin’s needs. Chemical peels are effective at treating a broad range of skin concerns, including dull skin, skin texture, acne and more. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid chemical peels.
How many chemical peel treatments will I need?
This will depend on the type of skin concern that you are looking to treat. For treating pigmentation, we generally recommend doing a series 3 treatments spaced one month apart. For acne concerns, we recommend a course of 3 to 6 peels fortnightly.
How long between chemical peel treatments?
The time required between chemical peel treatments is dependent on many factors – including your skin type, the type of acid used, and the concentration of the peeling agent. We recommend most clients to wait 4-6 weeks between treatments.
When can I expect to see results?
Many people can see a significant improvement in the appearance of their skin tone and texture after just one peel treatment. Those with mild or very superficial skin concerns may see improvements in their skin appear sooner. The severity of your skin concerns and your skin type will also dictate how quickly you will see results.
How long will my skin take to heal after a chemical peel?
The recovery period from a chemical peel depends on the concentration of the peeling acid used. Most clients will experience some redness and sensitivity following their chemical peel. It is important to liberally apply sunscreen and avoid sun exposure during this period, as outlined in your aftercare instructions.
