CHEMICAL PEEL

versatile and effective option for individuals looking to enhance their skin’s health and appearance by addressing a range of common concerns with minimal recovery time

A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process regenerates new, healthier skin with a smoother texture and improved appearance. Chemical peels have been used for many years to address various skin concerns, ranging from acne and sun damage to wrinkles and uneven skin tone.

During a chemical peel, the type and strength of the chemical solution used are carefully selected based on the individual's skin type, concerns, and desired results.

The Procedure

During a chemical peel session, a trained professional applies a chemical solution—typically containing acids like glycolic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic acid (TCA)—to the skin. The solution works to dissolve dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production. The treatment can last anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the strength of the peel and the areas being treated. Patients may experience a tingling or burning sensation as the solution penetrates the skin. After the treatment, the skin will peel over several days, revealing smoother, more radiant skin.

benefits

  • Exfoliation - The chemical solution applied during a peel removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. This exfoliation process helps improve skin texture, smoothness, and radiance.

  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles - Chemical peels stimulate collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful and rejuvenated look.

  • Evening out skin tone - Peels can effectively treat hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and uneven skin tone. The exfoliation process removes the damaged skin cells, promoting a more even complexion and reducing the appearance of discoloration.

  • Acne treatment - Chemical peels can benefit individuals struggling with acne or scars. They help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and promote a clearer complexion.

  • Improving skin texture - Chemical peels can address skin concerns such as roughness, scarring, and certain types of acne scars. They encourage the growth of new, smoother skin cells, resulting in an improved overall texture.

  • Boosting skin radiance - By removing dead skin cells and stimulating cell turnover, chemical peels can give the skin a radiant and refreshed appearance.
