Chemical Peel

About the Surgery

A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the outer layers of dead and damaged skin cells. The procedure is designed to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.

Benefits

  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: 
    • Chemical peels smooth and tighten skin, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Sun Damage and Age Spots: 
    • Reduces the visibility of sun damage and age spots, promoting a more even skin tone.
  • Skin Texture Improvement: 
    • Enhances skin texture, resulting in a smoother and clearer complexion.
  • Acne Scar Reduction: 
    • Diminishes the appearance of acne scars, contributing to smoother and clearer skin.
  • Improved Hydration: 
    • Enhances skin hydration for a more radiant and youthful appearance.

Procedure

  • Consultation: 
    • Begin with a comprehensive consultation with a qualified injector to assess needs and plan the chemical peel.
  • Skin Preparation: 
    • Prior to the procedure, the skin is cleaned, and a pre-treatment solution may be applied.
  • Peel Application: 
    • Chemical solution is applied to the skin, avoiding eyes, mouth, and hairline, left for a specified time based on peel type.
  • Neutralization: 
    • After the designated time, the injector neutralizes the peel, either by rinsing with water or applying a neutralizing solution.
  • Aftercare Instructions: 
    • Receive specific aftercare instructions, including sun avoidance, gentle cleanser, moisturizer use, and restrictions on certain skincare products for a defined period.

Downtime

It’s important to note that everyone’s skin reacts differently to chemical peels, and individual recovery experiences may vary. Additionally, the use of sun protection is crucial during the recovery period to protect the newly exposed skin.
