Skin Smoothing with Chemical Peels
Your skin tells a story. Sometimes that story includes rough patches, bumps, or uneven texture that makes you feel less confident. At Dr N Clinics, our skin smoothing treatments help you reveal the soft, beautiful skin underneath. We blend away the bumps, rough patches, and texture that make your skin feel less than perfect, giving you smooth, soft skin that needs minimal makeup and feels wonderful to touch.

What is Skin Smoothing
Skin smoothing treatments work to even out your skin’s surface by removing the upper layers of dry, damaged skin and letting the healthier skin beneath come through. Think of it as giving your skin a fresh start. The process focuses on exfoliation at different levels, using physical and chemical methods to remove dead skin cells that build up on the surface. As you age, your skin’s natural renewal process slows down, causing dead cells to accumulate and create that rough, uneven feeling. Our treatments speed up this renewal process, revealing smoother, fresher skin.

- Chemical peels for gentle exfoliation
- Specialist exfoliating and nourishing facials
- Medical grade topical treatments including salicylic acid
- Retinol treatments for accelerated cell turnover
- Silicone gels for targeted smoothing

How long does the treatment last?
Skin smoothing is not an overnight fix. Your skin needs time to renew itself properly. Most clients see gradual improvement over several weeks or months, depending on their treatment plan and skin condition.
You’ll start to notice your skin feels softer after just one or two treatments. The real transformation happens as you continue with your treatment series. Your skin becomes smoother, more even, and healthier looking. With proper skincare and occasional maintenance treatments, results can last for months. Your at-home skincare routine plays a big role in maintaining smooth skin between clinic visits.
