FAQs

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layer to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process promotes the growth of new, smoother, and more evenly toned skin.

What skin concerns can chemical peels address?

Chemical peels can improve the appearance of various skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and rough texture.

How does a chemical peel work?

Chemical peels work by exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin, which removes dead skin cells and stimulates cell turnover. This process reveals fresher, smoother skin underneath and can also promote collagen production for improved skin texture and elasticity.

What are the different types of chemical peels?

Chemical peels are categorized into three main types based on their depth of penetration: superficial, medium, and deep peels. The type of peel recommended depends on the specific skin concerns being addressed and the desired level of exfoliation.

Who is a suitable candidate for a chemical peel?

Suitable candidates for chemical peels are individuals looking to improve the appearance of their skin and who have realistic expectations about the results of treatment. People with certain skin conditions or medical histories may not be suitable candidates for chemical peels.
