Treatment Type:
CHEMICAL PEEL
Overview
Chemical peels use specially formulated acids to exfoliate the skin by dissolving dead skin cells and encouraging cell turnover. Depending on the type and strength of the peel—ranging from superficial to deep—it can address a wide range of skin concerns like uneven tone, acne scars, fine lines, and sun damage. By removing the outer damaged layers, chemical peels reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath and stimulate collagen production for longer-term skin improvement. There are many types, including glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), each suited for different skin types and concerns.
Why People Choose It
- To improve skin texture and reduce roughness or dullness
- To fade pigmentation, acne scars, and sun damage
- To smooth fine lines and promote youthful skin
Treatment Experience
The peel solution is applied carefully to the skin by a professional, causing controlled exfoliation. Depending on the peel’s depth, you may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation. Recovery time varies: light peels usually have no downtime, while medium or deep peels can cause redness, peeling, and sensitivity for days or weeks. Results become visible as the skin heals and renews, with clearer, smoother, and more even-toned skin.
