Chemical Peels
treatment: 50-70 minutes
Chemical peels, are skincare treatments that involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and rejuvenate it. These peels can help improve the appearance and texture of the skin by removing dead skin cells, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and addressing various skin concerns.
There are different types of chemical peels available, ranging from mild to deep, and the specific peel used will depend on the individual's skin type, concerns, and desired results. Here are some common types of facial peels:
1. Superficial or Light Peels: These peels use mild acids, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin. They are suitable for treating mild acne, uneven skin tone, and fine lines. Superficial peels usually have minimal downtime and may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
2. Medium Peels: Medium peels use stronger acids, such as glycolic acid or trichloroacetic acid (TCA), to penetrate deeper into the skin. They can address more significant skin concerns, including moderate acne, sun damage, and pigmentation issues. Medium peels may require some downtime for the skin to heal and recover.
