A chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off.
What is Chemical Peeling?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. During the procedure, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This controlled exfoliation process helps to remove the outermost layer of damaged or dull skin, revealing smoother, rejuvenated skin underneath. Chemical peels can be customized based on the specific skin concerns of the individual, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven skin tone, or texture issues. The strength and type of chemical solution used in the peel determine the depth of penetration into the skin layers.
How Does it Work?
Chemical peeling works by applying a chemical solution to the skin's surface, which causes controlled damage to the outer layers of the skin. The specific chemical used and its concentration determine the depth of the peel. As the damaged skin peels off in the following days after the treatment, it reveals a new layer of skin that is smoother, more even-toned, and has improved texture. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, leading to increased cell turnover, collagen production, and rejuvenation. The depth of the chemical peel determines the extent of its effects, with superficial peels addressing mild concerns, and medium to deep peels targeting more significant skin issues like wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage.
