Chemical peels are a popular cosmetic procedure that can help improve various skin concerns, such as acne breakouts, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. During a chemical peel, a special solution is applied to exfoliate the skin’s surface, removing damaged skin cells and revealing healthier skin underneath.
There are different types of chemical peels to suit your needs. From mild chemical peels that provide gentle exfoliation to extra strength alpha beta peels for more dramatic results, there's an option for everyone.
Chemical peels use special peeling agents like trichloroacetic acid, lactic acid, and carbolic acid to exfoliate the skin. These common acids help remove damaged skin cells and stimulate the growth of new, healthy skin.
There are three main types of peels: superficial, medium, and strongest. Each one targets different layers of the skin, depending on the depth of exfoliation needed.
The benefits of chemical peels are impressive. They can help treat actinic keratosis, improve various skin conditions, and reduce issues like sensitive skin. Whether you’re dealing with acne, age spots, or fine lines, there’s a peel for you.
There are several types of chemical peels, each designed to address specific skin concerns and offer varying levels of exfoliation. From gentle peels for sensitive skin to stronger options for more advanced issues, each peel provides unique benefits for rejuvenating your complexion.
Superficial chemical peels are perfect for those new to exfoliation or with sensitive skin. These peels work by gently exfoliating the skin’s surface to treat issues like acne breakouts, dullness, and uneven texture.
These superficial peels are non-invasive, require little downtime, and leave your skin feeling smooth and glowing.
Medium chemical peels go deeper than superficial ones, making them perfect for treating damaged skin cells, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. These peels usually require a few days of peeling and downtime.
Medium-depth peels provide more noticeable skin improvement than superficial peels but are still safe for most skin types.
Certain chemical peels are designed to address specific skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, acne, and uneven skin tone.
For dramatic results, deep chemical peels provide intensive skin resurfacing, targeting deep wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation.
Since deep chemical peels remove multiple layers of skin, they require medical supervision. While they come with longer recovery, they offer long-lasting rejuvenation.
When selecting a chemical peel, here are key factors to consider:
After a chemical peel, the healing process can vary depending on the depth of the peel. For superficial peels, you may experience mild peeling and redness for a few days. Medium peels may cause more peeling and a few days of dryness. For strongest peels, recovery takes longer, with peeling and sensitivity for up to a week or more.
