Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a skin treatment where a specially formulated solution is applied to the skin, causing the top layers to shed and reveal fresher, smoother, and healthier-looking skin. Chemical peels are a proven treatment for acne and acne scarring, uneven pigmentation and melasma, sun damage and age spots, fine lines and early wrinkles, and overall skin rejuvenation
What to Expect
Quick procedure – usually 15–30 minutes depending on the type of peel
Mild stinging or warmth – during application, which settles quickly
Peeling process – varies from light flaking to more intense peeling depending on the depth
Fresh, renewed skin – results appear as new skin regenerates over days to weeks
Types of Chemical Peels
Superficial Peels
Gentle acids (such as glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid)
Exfoliate the very top layer of skin
Improve mild acne, dullness, rough texture, and fine pigmentation changes
Minimal downtime — mild redness or peeling for 1–2 days
Medium Peels
Stronger agents (such as trichloroacetic acid / TCA)
Reach the deeper layers of the skin
Treat acne scars, pigmentation, sun damage, and deeper lines
May involve redness and peeling for several days
Deep Peels (performed selectively under Dermatologist care)
Penetrate to the deeper layers of the skin
Used for significant sun damage, severe pigmentation, or deeper wrinkles
Require longer healing time and careful medical supervision
