Chemical Peels

What is Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that involve applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. This procedure promotes the growth of new skin cells, resulting in smoother, more radiant skin with improved texture and tone.

How does a Chemical Peel work?

Chemical peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the top layers to peel off, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath. The type and strength of the peel vary depending on the skin concerns being addressed, ranging from superficial peels that target mild discoloration and rough texture to deeper peels that can address deeper wrinkles and acne scars. The procedure stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.

Who are the ideal candidates for Chemical Peels?

Ideal candidates for chemical peels are individuals looking to improve the appearance of their skin, including those with sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels are suitable for all skin types and can be customized to meet specific skincare goals. It is important for candidates to discuss their medical history and skincare concerns with a qualified provider to determine the most suitable peel type.

What to expect after the procedure?

After a chemical peel, patients can expect some redness, peeling, and mild irritation, depending on the depth of the peel. These effects typically subside within a few days to a week, revealing smoother, rejuvenated skin. It is essential to follow post-procedure care instructions provided by your provider, which may include gentle skincare products and sun protection. Most patients notice immediate improvements in skin texture and tone, with continued enhancement over the following weeks as new skin cells regenerate.
