3 Best Cosmetic-Grade Chemical Peels for Pigmentation
Pigmentation doesn’t just fade with time and if you’ve tried everything from brightening serums to over-the-counter exfoliants with minimal results, you’re not alone. Whether sun spots, melasma, post-acne marks, or uneven skin tone that just won’t shift, targeted in-clinic peels can make a visible difference.
The key is choosing the right treatment for your skin type, tone, and level of pigmentation. Here’s a complete list of professional-grade peels from Laser Clinics Australia, ready to tackle pigmentation gently or aggressively, based on your skin’s needs and goals.
1. Clear & Bright Peel
If your skin’s been feeling dull, congested, or just off-track, the Clear & Bright Peel is a smart way to reset. Powered by a blend of Glycolic, Lactic, and Mandelic Acids, this peel gently resurfaces the skin while accelerating cell turnover to target pigmentation, uneven texture, and breakouts—all without heavy downtime.
It’s great if you’re looking for clearer, smoother skin, and want a peel that works on multiple concerns at once. It’s particularly effective for clients dealing with oil imbalance, early signs of sun damage, or dullness from environmental buildup, thanks to exfoliating acids like Glycolic and Lactic—known to target sun-related texture changes and uneven skin tone.
Best for: Mild to moderate hyperpigmentation
Cost: $99 AUD per session
Sessions required: 3–6 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart
Results / what to expect: Mild redness, skin tightness, light flaking
Discomfort level: Low to moderate
Active ingredients: Glycolic, Lactic, Mandelic acid
Skin type: Suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types
2. Anti-Ageing Peel
Not all pigmentation is surface-level—and not all peels work at the surface. The Anti-Ageing Peel is a chirally correct anabolic resurfacing treatment that works deep within the skin encouraging healthy new cell production. This skin rejuvenating, anti oxidant and amino acid peel reduces the appearance of sun damage and visible signs of ageing, and reveals a more revitalised, smoother and radiant complexion.
Best for: Pigmentation and skin ageing
Cost: $159 AUD
Sessions required: 3–6, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
Results / what to expect: Flaking, redness, improved texture
Discomfort level: Moderate
Active ingredients: Retinol
Skin type: All (with prep care)
3. Melanopro Peel
The Melanopro Peel is a powerful two-phase treatment designed to target stubborn pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven tone. It starts with an in-clinic peeling masque, followed by a structured 6-week at-home program using active brightening and resurfacing products.
While some clients experience visible peeling, others see results through gradual exfoliation and increased cell turnover. The treatment requires strict aftercare, no other skin procedures during the program, and sun avoidance.
Due to its potency, it’s suitable only for pre-conditioned skin and not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Results appear progressively, with clearer, brighter skin visible by week six.
Best for: Hyperpigmentation
Cost: $800 AUD (includes in-clinic + homecare)
Sessions required: 1 full cycle; repeatable every 6 months
Results / what to expect: Redness, tightness, peeling from days 3–10, visible brightening by Week 6
Discomfort level: Moderate to high (tightness, warmth, sensitivity for several days post-treatment)
Active ingredients: A blend of Azelaic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, Retinol, Phytic Acid and Niacinamide
Skin type: Suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types
