Acne can be persistent and difficult to manage, especially when it leads to scarring, inflammation, and deep breakouts. Medium to deep chemical peels offer an advanced treatment option that targets severe acne, clogged pores, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. These peels penetrate deeper into the skin layers, effectively removing damaged skin cells, regulating oil production, and stimulating skin renewal for a clearer, smoother complexion. Medium to deep peels use stronger exfoliating agents such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), phenol, or high-strength salicylic acid to reach the mid to lower dermis, making them effective for stubborn acne, deep scars, and long-term skin rejuvenation.

Mole and wart removal at Claire Derma follows strict surgical safety protocols designed to protect both the treatment site and surrounding healthy tissue. Every lesion is evaluated under dermoscopy before any intervention so the removal method matches the growth's depth, vascularity, and anatomical position. Our dermatologists use single-use sterile instrument packs, calibrated electrosurgical units, and standardised wound closure techniques that reduce infection risk to below one percent.

These peels work by deeply penetrating the skin to:

Deep Exfoliation – Exfoliate dead skin layers and remove acne-causing debris.

Bacteria & Inflammation Control – Destroy acne-causing bacteria, reducing inflammation.

Pore Unclogging & Oil Regulation – Unclog pores and regulate oil production, preventing future breakouts.

Collagen Boost for Scar Reduction – Stimulate collagen production, helping to heal acne scars.

Dermoscopic Risk Grading – Each mole is scored using standardised dermoscopic criteria including pigment network regularity, border sharpness, and vascular pattern.

Infection Prevention Protocol – We follow a closed-field sterile technique using single-use drapes, chlorhexidine skin preparation, and individually packaged surgical instruments.

Anaesthesia Safety Check – Before administering local anaesthesia, our team reviews your allergy history and any prior adverse reactions to lidocaine or adrenaline.

Pre-surgical evaluation at Claire Derma goes beyond a surface-level visual check. Our team performs polarised dermoscopy on every mole and wart scheduled for removal, capturing high-resolution images that reveal pigment patterns, vascular architecture, and structural symmetry invisible to the naked eye.

Deep Skin Cleansing – Intense exfoliation, clearing out deep-rooted impurities.

Cystic Acne Reduction – Reduction in cystic and nodular acne, decreasing painful breakouts.

Sebum & Oil Control – Oil regulation, balancing sebum production to prevent acne recurrence.

Skin Smoothing & Scar Healing – Smoother skin texture, reducing roughness and acne scars.

Shave Excision with Haemostasis – A fine surgical blade removes the mole flush with the skin surface. Aluminium chloride solution or light electrocautery stops bleeding within seconds.

Elliptical Excision with Layered Closure – The mole and a narrow margin of normal skin are excised in an ellipse oriented along relaxed skin tension lines.

Curettage and Electrodesiccation for Warts – A sharp curette scrapes away the wart tissue down to the dermal base, removing the bulk of infected keratinocytes.

Safe removal requires matching the technique to the lesion. At Claire Derma, shave excision with a DermaBlade is reserved for raised benign moles where histological margins are not critical. Elliptical excision with primary closure is used when full-thickness analysis is needed or when the mole sits in a high-tension area like the shoulder or upper back.

Clears Severe Acne – Effective for cystic, hormonal, and treatment-resistant acne.

Prevents Future Breakouts – Regulates sebum and bacteria growth, preventing future breakouts.

Reduces Acne Scars – Stimulates collagen production, helping to heal acne scars.

Benefit – Histological certainty on every specimen means that an unexpected dysplastic or atypical finding is caught immediately.

Benefit – Layered wound closure distributes tension across the dermis and epidermis separately, reducing the risk of wound dehiscence and producing a finer scar line.

Benefit – Sterile single-use instrumentation and standardised antiseptic protocols keep post-operative infection rates well below two percent.

Choosing a clinic with proper surgical infrastructure makes a measurable difference in outcomes. At Claire Derma, every removal is performed in a dedicated procedure room with appropriate lighting, suction, and emergency equipment. Our dermatologists hold surgical training specific to cutaneous procedures, which means they understand tissue planes, vascular anatomy, and wound biomechanics at each body site.

This treatment is ideal for individuals who:

Struggle with moderate to severe acne or deep acne scars.

Experience frequent cystic or nodular breakouts.

Wound care in the first 48 hours has the greatest influence on final scar quality. At Claire Derma, we provide each patient with a take-home aftercare kit that includes sterile non-adherent dressings, a gentle wound cleanser, and petroleum-based ointment to maintain a moist healing environment.
