Chemical Peels
Refresh your skin with chemical peels, a professional skin treatment designed to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. Chemical peels use carefully selected exfoliating solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin and encourage the growth of healthier-looking skin. They may help address concerns such as acne, acne scars, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, sun damage, fine lines, and dull skin.
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel involves applying a specially formulated solution to the skin for a controlled period. Depending on your skin type and concerns, a dermatologist or qualified skin-care professional may recommend a superficial, medium-depth, or other appropriate peel. The strength and ingredients are selected based on individual skin needs.
Who May Benefit?
Chemical peels may be considered for people experiencing acne-prone skin, hyperpigmentation, dull complexion, uneven texture, or mild signs of skin ageing. A professional skin assessment is important before treatment, particularly for sensitive skin or a history of pigmentation changes.
Preparation and Recovery
Your provider may recommend avoiding certain skincare products, excessive sun exposure, or other treatments before a peel. Temporary redness, dryness, peeling, or sensitivity can occur after treatment, depending on the peel used. Following post-treatment instructions and using broad-spectrum sunscreen are important during recovery.
