WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?

A Chemical Peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, causing the top layers to exfoliate and peel off. This process stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin. Chemical peels come in various grades, including superficial, medium, and deep, each targeting different skin concerns and offering varying degrees of exfoliation and rejuvenation.

• Superficial Peel: This type of peel uses mild acids, such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), to gently exfoliate the outer layer of the skin (epidermis). Superficial peels are ideal for treating minor skin concerns like dullness, fine lines, and uneven texture.

• Medium Peel: Medium-depth peels penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching the middle layer (dermis). They typically use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or a combination of acids to target moderate skin issues such as sun damage, age spots, and mild scarring.

• Deep Peel: Deep peels are the most aggressive type of chemical peel, reaching the deepest layers of the skin. They often utilize phenol or high-concentration TCA to address severe skin concerns like deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, and precancerous growths.

BENEFITS OF CHEMICAL PEELS:

• IMPROVED SKIN TEXTURE

• EVEN SKIN TONE

• REDUCED WRINKLES

• ACNE TREATMENT

• SKIN REJUVENATION

WHAT TO EXPECT POST TREATMENT:

After a chemical peel, you may experience some redness, mild swelling, and peeling of the skin for a few days to a week, depending on the depth of the peel.

It’s essential to follow post-treatment instructions provided by your skincare professional, such as avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products to support the healing process.

As the skin heals, you’ll notice gradual improvements in texture, tone, and overall appearance. It’s crucial to protect your skin from the sun and follow a consistent skincare regimen to maintain the results of your chemical peel treatment.
