Black Peel Treatment – Powerful Skin Renewal for Clear, Glowing Skin
The Black Peel is one of the most effective and result-oriented chemical peel treatments available for Indian skin. Known for its deep cleansing, pigmentation-reducing, and skin renewal properties, the Black Peel penetrates deeper than traditional peels — targeting clogged pores, dark spots, acne marks, and textural irregularities with impressive precision. At Manas Aesthetics, our Black Peel treatment is performed by experienced dermatologists who customise the peel strength and formulation to your specific skin type and concerns.
What Is a Black Peel?
The Black Peel (also known as the Modified Jessner’s or Salicylic-Mandelic Black Peel in some formulations) is a medium-depth chemical peel that contains a combination of active acids — typically Salicylic Acid, Mandelic Acid, and Kojic Acid — along with skin-brightening and regenerating agents. Its distinctive dark colour comes from activated charcoal or melanin-targeting compounds in certain formulations.
When applied to the skin, the peel dissolves the bonds holding dead, damaged skin cells in place, accelerates cell turnover, and stimulates the growth of fresh, evenly pigmented skin beneath.
What Does the Black Peel Treat?
- Acne, blackheads, and congested pores
- Post-acne pigmentation and red marks
- Uneven skin tone and dark spots
- Melasma and hormonal pigmentation
- Rough skin texture and dullness
- Early signs of ageing — fine lines and skin laxity
- Sun damage and tanning
The Black Peel Procedure
The entire treatment takes approximately 30–45 minutes:
- Cleansing and degreasing of the skin
- Application of the Black Peel solution in 1–3 layers based on treatment depth
- A mild burning or tingling sensation during application (lasting 5–10 minutes)
- Neutralisation of the peel after the appropriate time
- Application of soothing serum and SPF
Peeling begins 2–4 days after treatment and lasts for 3–7 days, during which fresh, new skin is revealed.
Black Peel vs. Yellow Peel
The Yellow Peel is a superficial peel best suited for brightening and early pigmentation. The Black Peel is a deeper, more intensive treatment that targets stubborn pigmentation, acne scarring, and significant textural issues. Your dermatologist will recommend the right peel — or a combination of both — based on your skin assessment.
Post-Peel Care
- Do NOT pick or peel the skin manually — allow it to shed naturally
- Apply prescribed moisturiser and soothing cream generously
- Use SPF 50 every morning and reapply every 2–3 hours when outdoors
- Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 weeks post-peel
- Do not use retinoids, exfoliants, or active skincare for 1–2 weeks
