Chemical Peeling
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove the
top layers. This controlled injury stimulates the skin to regenerate, resulting in a smoother, fresher
appearance.
Chemical peels are categorized based on their depth of penetration
• Superficial peels: Affect only the outermost layer of skin. They are used to treat fine lines, acne, and uneven
skin tone.
• Medium peels: Reach deeper into the skin, addressing wrinkles, acne scars, and age spots.
• Deep peels: Penetrate the deepest layers of the skin, providing dramatic results for severe skin damage
Benefits of Chemical Peels
• Improved skin texture and tone
• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Diminished acne scars
• Faded age spots and hyperpigmentation
The Procedure
1. Cleaning: The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt and oil.
2. Application: The chemical solution is applied to the targeted area.
3. Peeling: The skin begins to peel within a few days, revealing new skin underneath.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery time varies depending on the depth of the peel. Mild peels require minimal downtime, while
deeper peels may involve several days of redness and peeling. Proper aftercare, including sun protection and
moisturizing, is crucial for optimal results
