Peeling away for fresher skin, Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments designed to rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of the skin by applying a chemical solution to exfoliate the outermost layers. This procedure aims to improve skin texture, reduce imperfections, and promote a smoother, more radiant complexion.
During a chemical peel session, a specialized solution, often containing various acids such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA), is applied to the skin. The type and strength of the solution used can be tailored based on individual skin concerns, ranging from mild to more intensive peels. The chemical solution works to remove the damaged outer layers of the skin, prompting the skin to peel off, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath. This exfoliation process stimulates cell turnover, boosts collagen production, and helps address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.
