What is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical Peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove the top layer of skin cells. This can help to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and treat acne scars.
Types of Chemical Peels:
- Superficial peels: Use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) to remove the outer layer of skin. They are suitable for treating mild skin concerns like acne, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
- Medium peels: Use stronger acids like trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to penetrate deeper into the skin. They can treat more significant skin problems like moderate acne scars, sun damage, and age spots.
- Deep peels: Use the strongest acids like phenol to remove multiple layers of skin. They are used to treat severe skin conditions like deep wrinkles, sun damage, and precancerous lesions.
