What Is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels are one of the most effective, non-invasive aesthetic treatments for skin rejuvenation. Whether you’re dealing with acne scars, pigmentation, uneven texture, or dull skin, chemical peels offer a customizable solution that removes the damaged outer layers of your skin to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion underneath.

How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to your face, neck, or hands to exfoliate and eventually peel off the top layers of skin. This process stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, helping to:
Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles
Reduce acne and acne scars
Lighten pigmentation and sun spots
Improve overall skin texture and tone depending on the type of peel used, the depth of exfoliation can range from superficial to deep.
Types of Chemical Peels
1. Superficial Peels
These are mild peels using alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic or lactic acid. Ideal for:
Light exfoliation
Minimal downtime
Mild acne and dull skin
2. Medium Peels
Commonly use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for deeper exfoliation. Best for:
Moderate acne scars
Uneven skin tone
Fine lines
3. Deep Peels
Use stronger agents like phenol. Require more downtime and are suitable for:
Deep wrinkles
Significant pigmentation
Advanced signs of aging
Is a Chemical Peel Safe for All Skin Types?
Chemical peels are generally safe when performed by trained professionals. However, those with darker skin tones may be at higher risk for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) if the wrong type of peel is used. That’s why a personalized consultation is essential.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Cleansing: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed.
Application: The chemical solution is applied evenly.
Reaction Time: You’ll feel tingling or mild stinging.
Neutralization: The peel is neutralized and removed.
Aftercare: Moisturizer and sunscreen are applied.
You may experience redness, peeling, and mild sensitivity for a few days depending on the peel’s intensity.
