Treatment info:
A chemical peel is a treatment that is used for skin appearance improvement. It can also be called derma-peeling or chemexfoliation. It is a safe and effective treatment that is becoming more and more popular.
Chemical peels can be light, medium and deep, depending on their strength. This aesthetic procedure can improve hyperpigmentation, sun-damaged skin, wrinkles and other skin blemishes by peeling off the top layer of the skin.
During the treatment, a suitable chemical solution is applied to the patient’s skin and the top layer gets gradually peeled off. The skin heals after the procedure and becomes much smoother and more radiant.
With light and medium peels, the patient might need more than one treatment session to get the best results. A light chemical peel can improve skin tone and texture and reduce fine lines. Medium chemical peel achieves a smoother skin texture.
In the case of deep chemical peels, the results are more dramatic, but the recovery period is longer.
Since chemical peels are skin-resurfacing treatments the depth is chosen according to the skin issues that need to be addressed.
After a chemical peel, the new healthy skin is sensitive to the sun so it is important to appropriately protect it.
