Chemical Peels

Is your facial skin starting to look dull or less radiant than it once was? Rejuvenating facial treatments like chemical peels can help our facial skin look and feel younger. Chemical peels improve the overall appearance of our facial skin by removing the damaged outer layer. As a result, surface facial blemishes such as fine lines, uneven skin texture, and surficial pigmentation issues can be diminished. Chemical peels come in a variety of strengths: mild, medium, and deep peels. The depth and type of chemical peel used by a skincare professional depend on the condition of the patient’s skin.

How Chemical Peels Works?

A variety of peeling agents and formulations are now available. However, the most common and consistently used agents are alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and phenol. After being applied to the skin, chemical peels intentionally make the skin blister and then peel. The great thing about chemical peels today is that they are considered safer than those used in the past and are less likely to leave your skin feeling raw.
