CHEMICAL PEELS

Botox Fillers


A chemical peel involves the application of one or more chemical solutions to the skin to remove damaged cells.
The treatment exfoliates several layers of sun-damaged skin, revealing fresher skin with a more even texture and tone.
It may also stimulate collagen production, which can improve skin texture.

The most commonly used peels are superficial or medium-depth peels. The selected peel solution creates a controlled injury to the skin, triggering the body’s natural wound-healing response. As the skin regenerates, the damaged layers peel away, resulting in smoother, less wrinkled skin compared to the original condition.

INDICATIONS: Common Uses of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are a dermatological treatment that may be recommended for the following skin concerns:

  • Photoageing, including actinic keratoses (a precancerous skin condition caused by sun exposure)
  • Pigmentation disorders (freckles, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Management of active acne and improvement in acne scarring

Chemical peels work by exfoliating the outer layers of the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing healthier skin underneath. The suitability of a chemical peel depends on individual skin conditions, and a thorough assessment by a qualified practitioner is necessary before treatment.

Superficial peels typically cause mild facial redness and occasional swelling, which usually subsides within 48 hours. The peeling resembles sunburn, and most individuals can resume normal activities immediately. Make-up may be applied a few hours after the procedure.

Moderate-depth peels however, result in more intense inflammation and swelling, with symptoms typically resolving within a week. Peeling is more pronounced, and mild redness may persist for a couple of weeks.
