Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. They involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the top layer of skin to peel or flake off, revealing smoother, more evenly toned skin underneath. Not all chemical peels result in visible peeling of the skin, but they can still be effective in improving the skin's appearance. Some superficial peels, such as those containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic acid or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) like salicylic acid, work mainly on the surface of the skin to exfoliate and improve texture without causing noticeable peeling.
Chemical peels can help improve the appearance of:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven skin tone or texture
Acne or acne scars
Sun damage
Hyperpigmentation or melasma
Rough or scaly patches of skin
There are different types of chemical peels, ranging from light superficial, mild to deep, depending on the strength of the chemical solution used and the depth of skin penetration. Superficial peels, such as glycolic acid peels, are mild and typically require little to no downtime. Medium peels, such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels, penetrate deeper into the skin and may require a few days of downtime. Deep peels, such as phenol peels, are the strongest and can produce more dramatic results but require a longer recovery time.
It's important to consult with a skincare professional to determine the most appropriate type of chemical peel for your skin type and concerns, as well as to ensure the procedure is performed safely and effectively.
