Chemical Peel Treatment

Chemical peel treatment is a technique that helps to improve skin texture. A solution of chemical peel on face is applied to the required area of the skin for a few minutes and then washed in case of strong peels or sometimes kept for a few hours in case of stay-on peels. As a result, the skin gets exfoliated and tries to remove damaged cells. In fact, it eventually peels off. Therefore, this gives rise to fresh skin care. This skin is often smoother and healthier.

Chemical peels treatment help a variety of skin issues. For example:

• Acne
• Fine lines
• Sun damage
• Acne scars
• Hyperpigmentation
• Mild acne scars
• Uneven skin tone
• Melasma in men

Types of chemical peels

The type of peel and its concentration  is decided according to the underlying condition which is to be treated. The depth of peel in skin depends on  its concentration. Let’s discuss the types of chemical peel and how they are important for our skin.

There are 3 types of peels, such as:

Superficial peels: One of the superficial peels is alpha-hydroxy acid. Superficial peels gently exfoliate the skin. They generally penetrate the outermost layer of skin.

Medium peels: The medium peels such as trichloroacetic or glycolic acid. These peels penetrate the middle and outer layers of skin. As a result, this helps to remove damaged skin cells.

Deep peels: Peels such as phenol peel or trichloroacetic acid. These peels fully penetrate the middle layer of the skin. As a result, this removes damaged skin cells. It should be administered only by a dermatologist.
