What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are skincare treatments that use acidic solutions to exfoliate the outer layers of skin. This process helps to remove dead skin cells, which reveals fresher, healthier skin underneath. Because of this, many people turn to chemical peels for various skin concerns, such as acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. It's important to choose the right type of peel for your skin type and concerns, and a professional can help guide you through this process.

Types of Chemical Peels

There are three main types of chemical peels: superficial, medium, and deep. Superficial peels use mild acids to gently exfoliate the skin's surface, making them great for a quick refresh. Medium peels penetrate deeper and address more significant skin issues, while deep peels can treat severe skin problems, like deep wrinkles and sun damage. However, they require more recovery time, so it's crucial to consider your skin needs before deciding.

What to Expect During a Chemical Peel

During a chemical peel, you may experience slight discomfort, but it usually doesn’t last long. The process starts with cleansing the skin, followed by the application of the chemical solution. After a specific amount of time, the solution is neutralized and removed. As a result, your skin may become red and peel over the following days. However, this is a normal part of the healing process! So, you should carefully follow aftercare instructions to achieve the best results.
