Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are medical-grade skin treatments that use acid solutions to exfoliate damaged outer layers, revealing smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin. They effectively treat acne, wrinkles, pigmentation, and uneven texture with minimal downtime.

How Do Chemical Peels Work?

Controlled Exfoliation – Acids dissolve dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production.
Customizable Strength – From light (lunchtime peels) to deep (clinical peels).
Multi-Layer Benefits – Improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity over time.

Types of Chemical Peels

1. Superficial (Light) Peels

• Ingredients: Glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid
• Depth: Outer skin layer (epidermis)
• Best For: Mild acne, dullness, fine lines
• Downtime: 1–3 days (light flaking)

2. Medium Peels

• Ingredients: Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) 20-35%
• Depth: Middle skin layers
• Best For: Sun damage, deeper wrinkles, acne scars
• Downtime: 5–7 days (peeling, redness)

3. Deep Peels

• Ingredients: Phenol or high-strength TCA
