Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to improve the skin’s texture and appearance by removing dead skin cells, reducing fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, and sun damage. This rejuvenation process stimulates collagen production, resulting in smoother, brighter, and healthier skin.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

  • Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Smooths out facial lines for youthful skin.
  • Evens Skin Tone & Texture – Improves pigmentation, acne scars, and sun damage.
  • Unclogs Pores & Reduces Acne – Helps control breakouts and prevents future acne.
  • Stimulates Collagen Production – Enhances skin elasticity and firmness.
  • Minimally Invasive with No Downtime – Quick recovery with long-lasting results.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Chemical Peel?

  • Individuals with dull, rough, or uneven skin texture.
  • Those with fine lines, wrinkles, and mild sagging.
  • People suffering from acne, scars, or hyperpigmentation.
  • Anyone looking to achieve a brighter and smoother complexion.

Types of Chemical Peels

Superficial Peel (Light Peel)

  • Uses mild acids (AHA, BHA, glycolic acid, lactic acid) to exfoliate the outermost skin layer.
  • Best for mild skin concerns, such as dull skin, acne, and fine lines.
  • No downtime, slight redness that fades quickly.

Medium Peel

  • Uses trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or stronger AHAs to penetrate deeper into the skin.
  • Best for moderate wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation.
  • May cause peeling for a few days with minimal downtime.

Deep Peel

  • Uses phenol or high-strength TCA to treat severe wrinkles, deep scars, and sun damage.
  • Requires longer recovery time (7-10 days) but offers dramatic skin improvements.
  • Best suited for severe skin concerns and long-lasting results.

The Chemical Peel Process

  • Consultation – Skin assessment to determine the best peel type.
  • Preparation – Cleansing the skin and applying the chemical solution.
  • Peeling Process – The peel is left on for a specific time to exfoliate the skin.
  • Neutralization & Recovery – Skin is neutralized, and post-care instructions are provided.

Post-Treatment Care Tips

  • Avoid direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily.
  • Use gentle skincare products and keep skin hydrated.
  • Refrain from scrubbing, exfoliating, or peeling the skin manually.
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, and excessive sweating for a few days.
