Exfoliation and Skin Regeneration

The chemical solution causes controlled exfoliation of the outer layers of the skin. This process removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and stimulates the production of new skin cells. As a result, the skin appears smoother, more even-toned, and rejuvenated.

Depth of Peels

Chemical peels can be categorised into three main types based on the depth of skin penetration: a. Superficial peels: These peels target the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis) and provide mild exfoliation. They are generally well-tolerated and have minimal downtime. b. Medium peels: These peels penetrate deeper into the middle layers of the skin (dermis) and provide more significant exfoliation. They may require a longer recovery period. c. Deep peels: These peels reach the deeper layers of the skin and provide the most dramatic results. They require an extended recovery period and are typically performed under anesthesia.

Treatment Areas

Chemical peels can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands. They are often used to address skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation.

Types of Chemical Solutions

Chemical peels use different types of chemical solutions, including alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic acid and lactic acid, beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) like salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The specific solution used depends on the desired depth of the peel and the skin concerns being targeted.

Downtime and Recovery

The downtime and recovery period following a chemical peel can vary depending on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels generally have minimal downtime, with some redness and mild peeling that resolves within a few days. Medium and deep peels may result in more pronounced redness, swelling, and peeling, with a longer recovery period ranging from a week to several weeks.

Results and Maintenance

Chemical peels can improve the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. They can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. Multiple treatment sessions may be recommended to achieve optimal results, and maintenance treatments are often advised to sustain the benefits over time.

Professional Procedure

Chemical peels should be performed by qualified healthcare professionals or licensed aesthetic practitioners who have expertise in the procedure. They can assess your skin condition, recommend the appropriate type and depth of peel, and provide personalized aftercare instructions.
