Chemical Peel, the number one established cosmetic treatment today, involves the use of one or more chemicals, such as alpha hydroxy acid, beta hydroxy acid and trichloroacetic acid, to remove surface skin layers and encourage the growth and formation of new skin.
What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are skincare treatments where a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove its outer layers, helping smoother, healthier skin grow back. They’re used to improve issues like acne, dark spots, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and sun damage. Peels range from light to deep, with lighter peels having little downtime and deeper peels requiring more recovery but giving stronger results. After a peel, the skin may feel red or peel for a short time, and wearing sunscreen is especially important to protect the new skin.
Treatment Options
Chemical peel treatment options are usually grouped by strength and depth, and the right one depends on your skin type and goals:
- Light (superficial) peels: Use gentle acids like glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid to exfoliate the outer layer of skin. They help with mild acne, dullness, and uneven tone, and usually have little to no downtime.
- Medium peels: Often use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to reach deeper layers of skin. These are used for more noticeable pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines, with about a week of recovery.
- Deep peels: Use stronger solutions like phenol to treat deeper wrinkles, scars, and significant sun damage. They offer dramatic results but require longer healing and are done under medical supervision.
