Chemical Peels
A chemical peel will help you reduce the ageing signs in your faces, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. Chemical peels are very gentle treatments that produce noticeable results and can be repeated regularly to keep your youthful appearance. They can also be customized to meet your specific needs and desires, such as nourishing your skin.
This page will help you understand the concepts of chemical peels, but you should communicate with one of our aestheticians or physicians in person if you want specific recommendations.
What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a cosmetic procedure used to help the skin enhance a shorter period for a smoother texture, enhanced radiance, reduced acne, or evened pigmentation. Peels contain active ingredients that are added to the skin for a brief period. The order in which they are used helps in achieving the desired result. This treatment is an excellent way to get faster results and be used in conjunction with prescription medications. Chemical peels may be customised and tweaked to be appropriate and effective for various skin types and tones in patients.
What can a Chemical Peeldo?
Chemical peels are an excellent addition to every skincare routine. They speed up the biological process of shedding old skin and refreshing it with new. This process is faster when we are younger and helps maintain a youthful appearance, but as we get older, it slows, and the amount of sun and environmental damage which shows in our skin increases.
By removing the old outer layer of the skin, Chemical peels enhance
- Freckles, age spots, and irregular skin colouration
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Rough and scaly skin patches
- Sun damage
- Acne
- Scars, including acne scars
What happens during a Chemical Peel?
The skin will be cleansed first. Then, in a specific order, a series of medical-grade masks and procedures will be applied to the skin to help enhance skin radiance, reduce acne, and improve pigment consistency. After the treatment, cream or serum may be used to soothe the skin or help improve the effects of the chemical peel ingredients. The procedure generally takes 30 minutes to complete.
What to expect after a Chemical Peel?
Swelling and Mild redness and swelling, as well as a tingling sensation, may be experienced after a chemical peel. Overall healing time can vary depending on the strength and resilience of your skin and can take anywhere from 1 to 5 days. It’s essential to avoid the sun for the first few days to prevent getting sunburned. Our doctors will give you advice about how to protect and care for your skin between treatment sessions. Before any significant changes occur, most patients need several treatments spaced weeks apart. In between treatment sessions, chemical peels are often combined with prescription regimens or medical-grade skin care treatment.
Who is a candidate for Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels can help you enhance the appearance of fine lines and skin texture, cure acne, and improve skin tone evenness. Chemical peels are not suggested for individuals who have keloid scars, have a history of serious eczema or psoriasis, or are taking oral retinoid therapy such as isotretinoin. The best way to establish if this treatment is right for you is to arrange a consultation with expert doctors, examine your skin, and create the right treatment plan for you.
