Chemical Peels

Facial chemical peels are a popular cosmetic procedure that can help improve the appearance of your skin. The procedure involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layer of skin to exfoliate/peel, revealing the smoother, more youthful skin underneath.

Some of the benefits of facial chemical peels include:

• Improving skin texture and tone: Chemical peels can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars, and improve the overall texture and tone of your skin.

• Reducing hyperpigmentation: Chemical peels can help reduce the appearance of dark spots and other forms of hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage or aging.

• Stimulating collagen production: Collagen is a protein that helps keep the skin looking youthful, firm, smooth and resilient . Exfoliation with chemical peels can help stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin.

• Reducing acne: Chemical peels can help reduce the appearance of acne and prevent future breakouts.

• Hydrating the skin: Chemical peels can help hydrate the skin and improve its overall health and appearance.

A variety of compounds can be used in facial chemical peels to achieve different results. Some of the most common compounds used in chemical peels include:

• Glycolic acid: This compound is derived from sugar cane and is used to treat fine lines, acne and hyperpigmentation.

• Salicylic acid: This compound is derived from willow bark and is used to treat acne, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone.

• Lactic acid: This compound is derived from milk and is used to treat hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles.

• Trichloroacetic acid (TCA): This compound is used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.
