Medium Depth Chemical Peels Brisbane
Our medium-depth peels work deeper into the skin to target concerns such as pigmentation, acne, sun damage, and uneven texture.
At Pearl Medispa, we offer two compounded medium-depth peel formulations — the Vitamin A Peel and the Jessner Peel — each with a distinct composition suited to different skin concerns. Your therapist will assess your skin during consultation to recommend the most appropriate treatment for your goals.

Vitamin A Peel
A medical-grade, prescription-only peel that activates cell turnover and supports the skin barrier. Applied as a leave-on mask, it’s well tolerated with minimal discomfort and may assist with fine lines, acne, blocked pores, pigmentation, sun damage, and keratosis pilaris. Skin typically shows a temporary yellow tint immediately after application, with mild flaking over the following 3–5 days.
Jessner Peel
A blend of salicylic acid, lactic acid and resorcinol that exfoliates the skin, clears congestion, and supports collagen production. It may assist with acne, blackheads, pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven texture, with a light tingling sensation during application and mild peeling over 3–5 days afterward.
