Chemical Peels

What are chemical peels?

Chemical peels are dermatological procedures that apply a chemical solution to exfoliate the skin and promote new cell growth, varying in depth from superficial to deep.

Benefits include improved skin texture and reduced fine lines, an even skin tone by diminishing hyperpigmentation, and effective acne treatment by unclogging pores. They also help minimize scarring and stimulate collagen production for firmer skin.

Overall, chemical peels are a versatile option for enhancing skin appearance and addressing various concerns.

When will I see results from a peel?

The results of chemical peels vary by type and individual skin characteristics, typically appearing within a few days to a couple of weeks.

Superficial peels show quicker improvements, while medium and deep peels may take 4 to 6 weeks for optimal effects.

Longevity also depends on skin type and aftercare, with superficial peels lasting a few weeks to months, and deeper peels providing benefits for several months to a year, especially with proper skincare and maintenance treatments.

What to expect during and after a chemical peel treatment

During a chemical peel, your skin is cleansed, and a tailored chemical solution is applied, causing mild tingling or burning for a few minutes.

The procedure lasts about 30 minutes to an hour.

Afterward, expect redness, swelling, and peeling similar to a sunburn, which can last a few days to a week, especially with medium and deep peels. Improvements in texture and tone will become noticeable within a few weeks.

Following post-treatment care, like moisturizing and avoiding sun exposure, is essential for optimal healing and results.
