Chemical Peel

A very popular aesthetic procedure that can be used as a preventive and corrective treatment for your skin at any age.

The procedure involves applying a chemical solution to the surface of the skin to produce the careful removal of dead cells and outer layers. The amount of skin cells that are removed depends on the type and strength of chemical solution used, and how long it is left on the skin.

How the Procedure works?

Chemical peels are usually described according to how deep they penetrate the skin.

  • Superficial peel – Glycolic, Salicylic and Lactic acidA superficial peel removes just the outer layer of skin and usually addresses skin dullness and roughness, superficial wrinkles, acne, mild hyperpigmentation etc. A light peel may need to be repeated monthly for maintenance.
  • Medium depth peel – TCAA medium peel removes more skin layers and addresses uneven skin tone, acne scarring, deeper wrinkles etc. A medium peel may be repeated every six to twelve months.
  • Deep peel – PhenolA deep peel may be used if you have deep facial wrinkles, severely photo-damaged skin and severe scarring. It is the strongest chemical peel that needs careful patient selection, local anaesthetic, pain pre-medication, prolonged downtime and dedicated post-peel care.
