Chemical Peels

A well-established, non-surgical skin resurfacing treatment that use specific chemical solutions to exfoliate and remove the outer layers of skin. This controlled process stimulates new skin growth, resulting in a smoother, more even, and rejuvenated appearance.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

  • Improvement in skin tone and texture: Peels can smooth rough skin, reduce dullness, and create a more even complexion.
  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating collagen and elastin production, peels can minimize the appearance of fine lines and some wrinkles.
  • Diminished hyperpigmentation: Chemical peels can be effective for fading sunspots, age spots, melasma, and other forms of uneven pigmentation.
  • Acne and acne scar management: Certain peels help reduce active acne and improve the appearance of superficial acne scars.

Commonly Treated Concerns

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Acne and mild acne scarring
  • Melasma and other hyperpigmentation

What to Expect

  • Procedure: After cleansing, a chemical solution is applied to the treatment area for a set period, then neutralized or washed off. The strength and type of peel determine the depth of exfoliation and recovery time.
  • Recovery: Superficial peels may cause mild redness and flaking for a few days, while deeper peels can result in more significant peeling, redness, and a longer healing period.
  • Results: As the skin heals, you’ll notice smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin. Multiple treatments may be needed for best results, especially for persistent concerns.

Possible Side Effects

While generally safe when performed by trained professionals, chemical peels can have side effects, including temporary redness, sensitivity, pigment changes, and, rarely, scarring or infection. Proper aftercare and sun protection are essential for optimal healing and results.
