Microneedling & Chemical Peels in Port Harcourt
Reveal healthy, radiant skin. Located at No 7 Amaechi Drive, GRA Phase 3, CityB Aesthetic Clinic specializes in clinical Chemical Peels, Microneedling, and Dermaplaning customized for dark and melanin-rich skin.
Stratum Corneum Exfoliation & Dermal Remodeling
Advanced microneedling and chemical peels utilize controlled rejuvenation to transform the skin barrier. Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy) uses sterile, medical-grade micro-needles to create thousands of precise micro-injuries in the epidermis and dermis. This triggers the skin's natural wound-healing cascade: platelets release growth factors, fibroblasts multiply, and new Type I collagen is deposited. This process remodels scar tissue, tightens pores, and smooths fine lines.
Chemical Peels work by applying specialized acids (such as Glycolic, Salicylic, Lactic, or TCA) to chemically exfoliate the stratum corneum—the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This breaks the desmosomal bonds holding dead cells together, accelerating cellular turnover. For darker, melanin-rich skin common in Port Harcourt, we use carefully formulated peels (like Mandelic or Salicylic acid) to target hyperpigmentation and acne without the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Combining this with dermaplaning removes vellus hair and dead skin, allowing active serums to penetrate deeply.
How It Works
Our patient-centered approach ensures safety, comfort, and beautiful results at every step.
1
Clinical Skin Consultation
We analyze your skin barrier, hyperpigmentation, and acne history at our GRA Phase 3 clinic to select the ideal chemical peel strength or microneedling depth.

Double Cleanse & Prep
We double-cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream for microneedling, or use a clinical priming solution to prepare the skin for a chemical peel.
3
Treatment & Calming Mask
We perform the treatment under strict clinical conditions, followed by the application of cooling peptides and broad-spectrum SPF 50+ to protect your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

This depends on the peel strength. We offer "no-peel" superficial glow peels that require zero downtime, as well as medium-depth peels that cause gentle flaking for 3 to 5 days to address deeper hyperpigmentation.
We apply a clinical-strength topical numbing cream prior to microneedling. Most clients report feeling only a light, vibrating pressure, making the treatment highly comfortable.
While a single session will improve skin brightness, we recommend a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for significant improvements in acne scarring and deep hyperpigmentation.
