Advanced retinol, ferulac & TCA protocols | Starting from ₹4,000 | Serving Miyapur, Gachibowli & all of Hyderabad
All chemical peel protocols are clinically calibrated by MD Dermatologists to minimise the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation on melanin-rich Indian skin types (Fitzpatrick IV–VI).
* All medical chemoexfoliation procedures are administered exclusively under the supervision of Board-Certified MD Dermatologists in compliance with NMC guidelines.
Precision Melanin Control & Cellular Renewal for Indian Skin
Indian skin — particularly Fitzpatrick Phototypes IV and V — is highly reactive and prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Applying the wrong acid formulation, or allowing an inappropriate contact time, can worsen pigmentation rather than resolve it. This is why medical-grade chemoexfoliation must always be performed by a qualified dermatologist who understands the unique biology of darker skin tones. At Cosmo Radiance, our senior MD Dermatologists utilise advanced liposomal-buffered combination peels — including ferulac for antioxidant brightening, retinol for cellular anti-ageing, and specialised melasma-targeting formulations — to deliver effective cellular turnover with a strong emphasis on safety. Every protocol is individually designed after a thorough clinical skin assessment, ensuring the right acid, the right concentration, and the right contact time for your specific skin condition.

Chemoexfoliation Depth Classification
Absolute No Downtime
Targets strictly and entirely the stratum corneum (upper epidermis). Absolutely ideal for an instant, flawless glow, highly mild comedonal acne, and general textural dullness. (e.g., Lactic/Mandelic/Salicylic).
3-5 Days of Visible Desquamation
Perfectly penetrates the epidermal-dermal junction, reaching the highly important upper papillary dermis. Absolutely best for treating deep melasma, moderate actinic (sun) damage, and highly visible fine lines. (e.g., Retinol/Yellow/Jessner's Peel).
7-10 Days of Strict Clinical Downtime
Aggressively reaches the reticular mid-dermis. Strictly and exclusively reserved only for treating highly severe atrophic acne scars and extremely deep, set-in structural wrinkles. (e.g., High-strength TCA Cross/Phenol).
What Is Medical Chemical Peeling (Chemoexfoliation)?
Medical chemical peels — clinically referred to as chemoexfoliation — are precision pharmacological procedures that go far beyond standard hydrating facials. Using physician-formulated acids such as Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), retinol, ferulic acid, salicylic acid, and mandelic acid, our MD Dermatologists induce a carefully controlled exfoliation of the skin's damaged outer layers. This process removes heavily pigmented, senescent cells and stimulates the deeper dermis to synthesise fresh collagen and elastin — a process known as neocollagenesis. At Cosmo Radiance, peel depth is precisely customised to your skin condition and Fitzpatrick phototype. Superficial peels using lactic or glycolic acid deliver a gentle brightening effect with minimal downtime, making them suitable for routine skin maintenance. Medium-depth peels using retinol or ferulac formulations address stubborn pigmentation, post-acne marks, and early signs of ageing. Deep peels and specialised TCA Cross applications are reserved for structural scar correction — specifically targeting deep ice-pick and boxcar atrophic scars. The procedure typically follows these clinical steps: (1) A thorough skin barrier assessment and patch test; (2) Skin cleansing and degreasing to ensure even acid penetration; (3) Precise application of the selected acid formulation by the MD Dermatologist; (4) Timed neutralisation or self-neutralising peel completion; (5) Application of a medical-grade soothing and barrier-repair protocol. The entire session usually takes 30–60 minutes depending on peel depth, and patients are provided with a structured post-peel care plan before leaving the clinic.

The Cosmo Radiance
Clinical Advantage
Targeted Molecular Acid Selection
Rather than applying a generic one-size-fits-all acid, our MD Dermatologists blend specific molecules based on your diagnosed skin condition. Salicylic acid is selected for lipophilic pore clearing in acne-prone skin, lactic acid for hydration-coupled brightening, and kojic or mandelic acid for melanocyte suppression in pigmentation cases. This precision approach improves clinical outcomes while reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
Melanin-Safe Liposomal Buffering Technology
Our advanced peel protocols utilise liposomal encapsulation delivery systems that allow active acid molecules to penetrate the dermis while minimising direct interaction with surface melanocytes. This technology significantly reduces the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — a critical consideration for patients with darker Indian skin tones undergoing medium or deep peels.
Specialised TCA Cross Scar Reconstruction
TCA Cross (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars) is a highly precise, microsurgical technique in which high-concentration Trichloroacetic Acid is deposited directly into the base of a deep atrophic scar using a fine applicator. This induces localised collagen synthesis and progressive scar elevation over multiple sessions. The technique requires exact placement and concentration control, which is why it is performed exclusively by our experienced MD Dermatologists.
Integrated Laser and Peel Combination Protocols
For patients with complex or multi-layered skin concerns, Cosmo Radiance offers integrated treatment plans that combine chemical peels with advanced laser platforms such as the Fotona StarWalker. This multi-modal approach allows our dermatologists to address both epidermal pigmentation and deeper dermal concerns within a single structured treatment programme, improving overall outcomes for conditions like melasma and acne scarring.
Preparation Tips
- 01
Discontinue all home-use topical vitamin A derivatives (retinol or prescription-strength variants), AHAs, and BHAs at least 5 days before your scheduled peel to prevent skin barrier compromise and reduce the risk of over-exfoliation.
Pre-Op Requirement - 02
Avoid direct sun exposure and intentional tanning for a minimum of two weeks before treatment — sun-exposed or recently tanned skin has elevated melanocyte activity, which increases the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation following chemical exfoliation.
Pre-Op Requirement - 03
Inform your treating MD Dermatologist of any personal history of cold sores (Herpes Simplex Virus), as prophylactic antiviral medication is clinically recommended before medium or deep peel procedures to prevent viral reactivation.
Pre-Op Requirement - 04
Arrive at your appointment with clean, product-free skin and disclose all current medications, supplements, and skincare products to your dermatologist during the pre-peel consultation, as certain medications can affect skin sensitivity and healing response.
Pre-Op Requirement
Long-Term Results
Progressive and clinically meaningful fading of chronic pigmentation, solar lentigines, and hormonal melasma over a structured course of 4–6 sessions, with ongoing maintenance supporting long-term melanocyte control.
Visibly smoother, more even skin texture with refined pore appearance and improved skin tone uniformity, sustained with appropriate sun protection and a dermatologist-recommended home care routine.
Gradual physical elevation and improvement in the appearance of superficial atrophic acne scars through repeated TCA Cross applications, alongside lasting reduction in active acne breakouts with BHA-based protocols.
Improved dermal density and skin firmness over time as neocollagenesis continues in the weeks following each peel session, contributing to a more youthful and resilient skin structure.
Combination Procedures
Q-Switch Laser Toning - Brilliantly alternating specific medical chemical peels with advanced photoacoustic laser toning (Fotona) for the incredibly rapid, permanent clearance of highly stubborn, mixed-depth pigmentation.
MNRF (Scarlet S) - Powerfully combining medium-depth TCA peels with intense physical radiofrequency microneedling for the absolute ultimate, total structural acne scar remodeling.
HydraFacial Elite MD - Seamlessly integrating a highly mild, absolute zero-downtime AHA/BHA chemical peel directly within the HydraFacial vortex protocol for an immediate, flawless glass-skin finish.
Non-Surgical Alternatives
Risks & Complications
Temporary erythema (redness) and highly visible, sheet-like epidermal desquamation (skin shedding/flaking) lasting for 3 to 7 days (Depending entirely on the specific chemical depth chosen).
Mild, clinically expected stinging, frosting (whitening of the skin protein), or a very strong, highly warm sensation strictly during the active 3-5 minute acid application process.
A severe clinical risk of Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) exists ONLY if the highly mandatory post-care UV sun protection rules are recklessly violated by the patient during the healing phase.
Our Clinical Safety Standards & NMC Compliance
MD Dermatologist-Only Administration
High-potency chemical agents including TCA, Jessner's solution, and retinol peels are compounded and applied exclusively by licensed, Board-Certified MD Dermatologists — never by aestheticians or unqualified technicians.
Mandatory Pre-Peel Patch Testing
A clinical skin barrier assessment, including evaluation of transepidermal water loss, is conducted prior to all medium and deep peel protocols to identify contraindications and reduce the risk of adverse reactions.
Immediate Pharmaceutical Neutralisation
All clinical suites are equipped with bedside pharmaceutical-grade neutralising buffers, enabling the treating dermatologist to arrest any chemical reaction immediately if clinically required.
Full Informed Consent & Transparent Counselling
Patients receive complete, honest disclosure regarding expected downtime, the visible desquamation (peeling) phases, post-procedure UV protection requirements, and realistic outcome expectations before any treatment begins.
