Types of Chemical Peels

Our clinic offers different types of chemical peels to suit various skin types and concerns, including:

Superficial peels: Mild peels that target the outermost layer of the skin, providing gentle exfoliation and brightening effects.
Medium peels: Deeper peels that penetrate the middle layer of the skin, addressing more significant concerns such as fine lines, pigmentation, and acne scars.
Deep peels: Intensive peels that penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, effectively treating severe sun damage, deep wrinkles, and scars.

Your provider will recommend the most suitable type of peel based on your skin condition, desired outcomes, and tolerance for downtime.

Procedure Overview

During a chemical peel treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed, and the chemical solution is applied evenly to the treatment area. The solution is left on the skin for a specific period, allowing it to penetrate and exfoliate the outer layers.

Depending on the type of peel, you may experience a mild tingling or burning sensation during the treatment. After the specified time, the peel is neutralized, and a soothing moisturizer or sunscreen is applied to the skin.

The duration of the procedure and the intensity of the peeling process depend on the type and strength of the peel used. Superficial peels typically require minimal downtime, while deeper peels may involve several days of peeling and recovery.

Duration, Benefits, and Summary

The duration of a chemical peel treatment varies depending on the type and strength of the peel, ranging from 15 minutes to an hour or more. Benefits of chemical peels include:

Improved skin texture, tone, and clarity
Reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars
Evening out of skin tone and reduction of hyperpigmentation
Stimulation of collagen production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin
Enhanced absorption of skincare products for better efficacy

In summary, chemical peels offer a safe and effective solution for addressing various skincare concerns and achieving smoother, more radiant skin.
