About the Procedure
What is Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are dermatological treatments in which a controlled chemical solution is applied to the skin to exfoliate damaged outer layers, stimulate collagen renewal, and improve the appearance of acne and acne scarring. They range from superficial to deep formulations depending on the severity of scarring and desired downtime, and are usually performed as a series of sessions by a qualified dermatologist. GAF Healthcare connects patients with accredited Indian dermatology clinics offering internationally trained specialists at a fraction of Western costs.
Who may be considered?
Chemical Peels may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Uses mild acids to exfoliate the epidermis, improving mild acne, post-inflammatory marks, and skin texture with minimal downtime.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Superficial Chemical Peel (Glycolic/Salicylic Acid)
Most PopularUses mild acids to exfoliate the epidermis, improving mild acne, post-inflammatory marks, and skin texture with minimal downtime.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $50 - $150
Skin examination, patient skin-type assessment, allergy/sensitivity patch test
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $300 - $900 (course of 4-6 sessions)
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~1 day
Hospitalisation: Day-care (a few hours per session)
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~1-2 days recommended between sessions
Total stay: approx 3-5 days for consultation and initial sessions
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- Dermatologist consultation
- Peel solution and application
- Post-peel soothing skincare
- Follow-up review
Usually Not Included
- Flights and accommodation
- Home-care skincare products
- Additional sessions beyond package
- Treatment of unrelated skin conditions
Recovery and follow-up
Recovery ranges from mild redness and flaking for a few days (superficial peels) to visible peeling, swelling, and crusting lasting one to two weeks (medium/deep peels), with strict sun protection required for several weeks after treatment. Multiple sessions spaced weeks apart are typically needed to achieve optimal improvement in acne scarring.
Risks
Potential risks include redness, hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, infection, scarring, and uneven results, with deeper peels carrying higher risk of prolonged downtime and pigment changes, especially in darker skin tones. A qualified dermatologist will select peel depth and concentration based on skin type to minimize these risks.
Alternatives
Alternative treatments for acne and acne scarring include laser resurfacing, microneedling with or without PRP, dermal fillers for depressed scars, and subcision, which may be combined with or used instead of chemical peels depending on scar type and skin condition.

Common questions
FAQs about Chemical Peels in Bengaluru, India
What is Acne and Acne Scarring?
Acne is a common but clinically significant inflammatory disorder of the skin's oil glands and hair follicles, producing spots, cysts, and comedones; acne scarring refers to the lasting textural or pigmentary changes left on the skin after inflamed lesions heal, which can range from post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation to depressed (atrophic) or raised (hypertrophic and keloid) scars.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Acne and Acne Scarring?
Active acne may present as whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts, most commonly on the face, chest, back, and shoulders, and nodulo-cystic forms in particular carry a high risk of scarring. Scarring can manifest as ice-pick, boxcar, or rolling atrophic scars, hypertrophic or keloidal scars, or persistent post-inflammatory erythema and hyperpigmentation. Experiencing any of these features does not constitute a diagnosis, and their cause, severity, and appropriate management must be determined through a qualified clinical assessment.
How is Acne and Acne Scarring diagnosed?
A dermatologist typically grades acne severity using validated scales — such as the Global Acne Grading System (GAGS) or the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) — based on lesion type, count, distribution, and degree of inflammation. Scar type and severity are assessed separately, classifying scars by morphology (atrophic subtypes, hypertrophic, keloidal) and extent, which directly influences the choice of intervention. Where an underlying cause such as hormonal imbalance is suspected, blood tests including androgen levels or other relevant investigations may be requested to guide treatment.
How is Acne and Acne Scarring treated?
Treatment is highly individualised and determined by acne severity, scar type, skin tone, and the presence of any contributing medical conditions. Mild-to-moderate active acne is frequently managed through topical and systemic medications, while moderate-to-severe or scarring-prone acne may additionally require procedural interventions. Established scars are typically addressed through procedures such as laser treatments (including fractional and ablative lasers), chemical peels, microneedling, subcision, dermal fillers, or combinations thereof, selected according to a clinician's assessment of the individual's scar morphology, skin type, and treatment goals.
Can Acne and Acne Scarring be treated without a procedure?
Non-procedural management is a cornerstone of acne care and includes topical agents (retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, topical antibiotics, azelaic acid), oral antibiotics, hormonal therapies such as combined oral contraceptives or anti-androgens where appropriate, and oral isotretinoin for severe or refractory cases. Lifestyle measures — including consistent sun protection, appropriate skincare routines, and dietary modifications where evidence supports them — can complement medical treatment. For established acne scars, however, non-procedural options have limited efficacy beyond improving pigmentation, and meaningful textural correction typically requires a procedural approach recommended by a clinician.
When is Chemical Peels considered for Acne and Acne Scarring?
Chemical Peels may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Acne and Acne Scarring?
Acne and acne scarring are primarily evaluated and managed by a dermatologist; where a hormonal or endocrine cause is suspected — for example in the context of PCOS or other androgen excess — co-management with an endocrinologist or gynaecologist may be recommended.
How do I choose a doctor for Acne and Acne Scarring?
When selecting a provider, look for a board-certified dermatologist with documented experience in managing the specific scar types relevant to your case and with access to a range of procedural technologies (such as fractional laser, chemical peels, and microneedling), and confirm that the clinic offers structured follow-up and a clear plan for monitoring treatment response over time.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
