What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure that uses a controlled application of chemical solutions to exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and stimulating new cell growth. This tried-and-tested technique has been a gold standard in aesthetic dermatology for decades due to its effectiveness and minimal downtime.

Based on the depth of penetration, chemical peels are classified into:

• Superficial Peels: Light peels that gently exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, improving mild pigmentation and dullness.
• Medium Peels: Target deeper layers of the skin, effective for fine lines, acne scars, and moderate sun damage.
• Deep Peels: Intense exfoliation for severe pigmentation, wrinkles, and extensive sun damage.

Post-Treatment Care & Recovery

Aftercare is crucial for achieving optimal results from a chemical peel:

• Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 50+ sunscreen daily.
• Refrain from scrubbing or exfoliating the skin for a few days.
• Keep the skin moisturized to prevent excessive dryness.
• Mild peeling and redness are normal and subside within a few days.
• Follow a prescribed skincare regimen for long-lasting benefits.

Depending on the depth of the peel, multiple sessions may be recommended for best results.
