Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are skin resurfacing treatments that use carefully formulated solutions to gently exfoliate the outer layers of your skin. This process not only stimulates collagen production and cell renewal but also smooths texture and reduces imperfections—helping to address concerns like sun damage, wrinkles, scarring, and pigmentation. The result is a fresher, more radiant complexion tailored to your unique skin needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chemical Peels
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses a carefully formulated solution to exfoliate and remove the outer layers of the skin, revealing healthier and more youthful skin underneath.
How do chemical peels work?
Chemical peels work by applying a solution that weakens the bonds between dead skin cells and the underlying tissue. This controlled exfoliation stimulates collagen production and promotes cell renewal.
What skin concerns can chemical peels address?
Chemical peels can improve various skin conditions, including sun damage, wrinkles, acne, scarring, pigmentation issues, and overall dullness, helping to restore a fresher, more radiant complexion.
Who is an ideal candidate for a chemical peel?
Ideal candidates are those looking to improve skin texture and tone, reduce signs of aging, or address specific concerns such as acne scars and pigmentation. A consultation is recommended to assess suitability.
How should I prepare for a chemical peel treatment?
Preparation may include avoiding certain skincare products or medications as advised by your clinician. A pre-treatment consultation will provide personalized instructions to ensure the best results.
What can I expect during a chemical peel session?
During your session, a chemical solution is applied to the skin. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation as the solution works to exfoliate the outer skin layers.
What is the recovery process like after a chemical peel?
Recovery varies by the depth of the peel. Superficial peels may cause temporary redness and slight peeling, while deeper peels might require several days of downtime for the skin to heal and renew.
