With chemical peels, your skin reveals how great it feels!
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses specific acids to exfoliate and renew the skin. The type of peel used depends on your skin type, concerns, and goals. Chemical peels range from mild to deep:
Superficial Peels: Use mild acids like glycolic acid for light exfoliation. These are perfect for those with mild skin concerns or those with sensitive skin.
Medium Peels: Often use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to address moderate skin concerns like pigmentation and wrinkles.
Deep Peels: Target severe concerns with stronger acids but require more recovery time.
Who Can Benefit from Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are highly versatile and cater to a broad range of skin concerns and age groups:
16–19
Ideal for managing acne and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Light peels like salicylic acid can help regulate oil production and clear clogged pores.
20–50
Great for addressing early signs of sun damage and uneven skin tone.
Superficial peels can refresh the skin and prevent future breakouts.
Effective in reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation caused by aging or hormonal changes.
Medium-depth peels can smooth skin texture and stimulate collagen production.
50+
Target deeper wrinkles, age spots, and loss of elasticity.
A combination of medium to deep peels can rejuvenate aging skin.
What Skin Concerns Do Chemical Peels Address?
Hyperpigmentation: Breaks down excess melanin to lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.
Aging Skin: Stimulates collagen and elastin, softening fine lines and wrinkles.
Acne & Scarring: Unclogs pores, reduces inflammation, and fades acne scars.
Rough Skin Texture: Smooths and softens for a polished, radiant look.
Dull Complexion: Exfoliates dead skin cells to reveal a brighter, healthier glow.
What Is the Treatment Timeline and Expected Results?
Before the Peel: A consultation with your practitioner determines the right peel for your skin type and concerns. You may be advised to prepare your skin with pre-treatment products for optimal results.
During the Peel: The treatment takes about 20–30 minutes. You may feel a tingling or warming sensation as the solution works on your skin.
After the Peel:
Day 1–3: Your skin may feel tight/red or slightly sensitive.
Day 3–7: Peeling or flaking occurs as your old skin sheds.
Week 2+: Fresh, glowing skin is revealed!
For deeper peels, the healing process may take longer, but the results are more dramatic.
Results:
Superficial peels provide subtle improvements after 1 session and are often done in a series.
Medium and deep peels deliver more significant results after 1–3 treatments spaced weeks apart.
Side Effects and Risks
While chemical peels are safe when performed by trained professionals, it’s important to know the potential side effects:
Common Side Effects: Redness, peeling, mild sensitivity, and dryness.
Rare Risks: Hyperpigmentation, scarring, or prolonged sensitivity, particularly in deeper peels or with improper aftercare.
You must follow aftercare advice from your practitioner to avoid unwanted effects.
