With Chemical Peels , Reveal Fresh, Glowing Skin
Safe, effective skin-resurfacing treatments designed to target acne, pigmentation, sun damage, and early signs of aging.
What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are skin-resurfacing treatments that use safe, medical-grade solutions to gently exfoliate the outer layers of skin
This process stimulates cell turnover, removes dead skin cells, and reveals smoother, healthier, and more radiant skin beneath.
At Dr. Harisha Karpath’s practice in Ballito, peels are fully tailored to your skin type and concerns — from light, no-downtime options to deeper rejuvenating treatments.
How Do They Work?
Chemical peels work by encouraging controlled exfoliation, which safely removes damaged skin layers and stimulates natural regeneration. This helps restore smoother, clearer, and healthier-looking skin.
