CHEMICAL PEEL

Service Description

Overview: A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This treatment is designed to improve the skin's texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, and address concerns such as acne and hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels vary in strength, from mild to deep, depending on the specific skin issues being targeted. What to Expect: Consultation: Your session begins with a consultation with a skincare professional or dermatologist to assess your skin type, concerns, and goals. The practitioner will recommend the appropriate type and strength of chemical peel based on your skin condition. Preparation: Before the peel, your skin will be cleansed thoroughly to remove any makeup, oils, or debris. Depending on the peel type, your skin may also be prepped with a pre-peel solution to enhance peel penetration. Peel Application: Application of Chemical Solution: The chosen chemical solution (such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or trichloroacetic acid) is carefully applied to the skin using a brush or cotton applicator. Duration and Sensation: You may experience a mild tingling or stinging sensation as the peel solution works on the skin. The duration of the application depends on the type and strength of the peel. Neutralisation (if applicable): Some peels may require neutralization with water or a neutralizing solution to stop the peeling process. Post-Peel Care: After the recommended time, the peel solution is either neutralized or washed off with water. A soothing moisturizer or post-peel cream may be applied to calm the skin and enhance hydration. You will receive specific aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and applying sunscreen regularly. Results: Immediate Effects: You may notice immediate improvements in skin texture and brightness following a mild peel. Deeper peels may cause more significant peeling and redness, with results becoming more noticeable over several days. Long-Term Benefits: Regular chemical peel treatments can lead to smoother, more even-toned skin, reduced acne scars, and improved overall skin health.
