What is Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are a popular, non-invasive treatment that can refresh the skin and address a range of common skin concerns.

What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses a special solution to gently remove the top layers of skin. This helps to reveal newer, fresher skin underneath. Peels come in different strengths, from light to deep, depending on how much skin needs to be exfoliated.

Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can improve the skin’s texture and tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and lighten dark spots. They can help with acne, acne scars, sun damage, and even mild scarring. By removing dead skin cells, peels also encourage new cell growth, giving the skin a radiant glow.

Downtime and Recovery
After a chemical peel, the skin needs some time to heal. Most people experience downtime of about 5-10 days, depending on the peel’s depth and their skin’s sensitivity. During this period, you may notice some redness, peeling, or mild discomfort, which is completely normal as your skin renews itself.

Aftercare Tips
Taking care of your skin after a peel is essential to get the best results and avoid complications:

Sun Protection:
For at least the first 7 days, protect your skin from the sun with a high SPF sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure, as your
skin will be especially sensitive.

Moisturise:
Regular moisturizing is key to keeping your skin hydrated and comfortable during the healing process.

When to Expect Results
You’ll start seeing results once the peeling process finishes, usually within a week. However, the full effect becomes more noticeable after 2-3 weeks, as your skin continues to renew itself and reveal a fresh, rejuvenated look.
