What is

Chemical Peel?

Chemical peel is an aesthetic treatment that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the exfoliation of the outermost layers of the skin, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. This process helps improve the appearance and texture of the skin by removing dead skin cells, stimulating cell turnover and promoting the growth of new, healthier skin.

Benefits of Chemical Peel

Improve the overall tone and texture of your skin

Types of Chemical Peel

There are 3 most common types of chemical peels

SUPERFICIAL SKIN PEEL

Superficial peels are the mildest type of chemical peel and removes the outer epidermal layer of skin to produce a brighter/fresher appearance, reduce fine lines and improve the appearance of pigmentation and acne scarring. Examples of these are glycolic acid and salicylic acid.

MEDIUM DEPTH SKIN PEEL

Medium depth peels (Trichloroacetic acid peels) target both the epidermis and the middle layer of skin, known as the dermis. Peels are often created with trichloroacetic acid (TCA). Recovery from a TCA peel typically takes a week to ten days. They can be used to treat severe acne, deep wrinkles, and moderate hyperpigmentation.

DEEP DEPTH SKIN PEEL

Deep peels target the epidermis, dermis, and even the lower layers of skin. These peels are the most aggressive type of chemical peel. Deep peels can be used to treat severe hyperpigmentation, deep wrinkles, and even precancerous growths but are associated with an increased risk of complications as well as a much longer recovery time
