FAQs
A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment involving a chemical solution to remove dead skin cells from the face or other body areas. It promotes the growth of new, healthier skin cells, improving skin texture, tone, and clarity.
Chemical peels can effectively tackle various skin concerns, including:
- Acne
- Age spots
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Rough skin texture
- Sun damage
Chemical peels offer numerous advantages, such as:
- Enhanced skin texture and tone
- Reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles
- Minimized hyperpigmentation and age spots
- Diminished blemishes and acne scars
- Alleviated sun damage
- Stimulated collagen production for a firmer, youthful look
The treatment duration for a chemical peel can range from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the peel type and treatment area size.
While some might feel a mild tingling or burning sensation, most patients find the procedure tolerable, not describing it as painful.
Recovery varies with the peel type, with most experiencing redness and peeling for a few days to a week post-treatment. We provide detailed aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery process.
We offer a spectrum of chemical peels, including:
- Superficial peels using gentle acids like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs)
- Medium peels with stronger acids like glycolic or trichloroacetic acid (TCA)
- Deep peels using potent acids like phenol for significant skin resurfacing
Individuals with mild to moderate skin imperfections such as acne, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation make ideal candidates. However, those with severe skin conditions or allergies may need alternative treatments.
Results vary by individual skin concerns and the chemical peel type. Some may see improvements after one treatment, while others might need a series to achieve their desired outcome.
