What is a Chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off the top layers. The goal of a chemical peel is to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands by addressing issues like fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, sun damage, and other skin imperfections. Chemical peels can range from very superficial to deep. Superficial and medium peel treat.
There are different types of chemical peels, categorized based on their depth of penetration into the skin:
Superficial Peels: These peels only affect the superficial layer of the skin. Ideal for those who have some problems with problematic skin Glycolic acid and salicylic acid peels are examples of superficial peels.
Medium Peels: These peels penetrate deeper into the middle layers of the skin. this peel is used to address more significant issues like moderate wrinkles, acne, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, uneven skin tone and texture and dull skin.
Deep Peels: These peels reach the deeper layers of the skin and are used for treating severe wrinkles, sun damage, and deep scars. Peels are usually treated by clinical specialised dermatologists.
