About Chemical Peels

As part of chemical peel treatment, a chemical solution is applied to your skin. This causes the peeling of the skin’s layers, brightens your skin and imparts a youthful complexion.

Among the various skin concerns that chemical peels address are dark spots, mild scarring, acne scars, dull-looking skin, an uneven complexion, superficial fine lines, sun spots, and wrinkles, among others.

Different Levels of Chemical Peels

Various chemical solutions are used during chemical peel treatment. These include glycolic acid, phenol acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid, among others. Your provider will decide the chemical peel that would best address your aesthetic goals and specific skin concerns.

Chemical peels can be of different depths, including:

1) Superficial Peel:

It targets the skin’s outermost layer, improving the appearance of your varied skin blemishes.

2) Medium Peel:

It makes your skin feel refreshed after removing the skin’s topmost layer and upper part of its middle layer, reducing skin discoloration and scars.

3) Deep Peel:

It addresses blotchy skin and other skin imperfections by working its magic on the skin’s lower middle layer.

Various Types of Chemical Peels

Many types of chemical peels are available, each with its set of unmatched benefits. Let’s learn about some of the popular ones herein:

• Glycolic Peel: It is among the mildest types of chemical peels, with no downtime. Sourced from sugarcane, glycolic acid is a member of the Alpha-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) family. This peel is recommended for all types of skin, including sensitive skin. A dull complexion, an uneven skin tone, and superficial fine lines are some concerns this peel helps to treat.
• Salicylic Peel: Salicylic acid is part of the beta-hydroxy Acid (BHA) family. This peel is advised for people with oily, acne-prone skin; it comes with the benefit of minimal downtime. Your dermatologist will recommend this peel if you have acne, rough skin texture, or clogged pores.
• Lactic Peel: Like glycolic acid, lactic acid is part of the AHA family. Derived from milk, lactic acid is rich in moisturizing properties. Be it hydrating your skin, enhancing your skin tone, or improving the appearance of your superficial fine lines, this peel treatment addresses them all. It is suitable for people with dry skin or sensitive skin, involving low downtime.
• Arginine Peel: This peel helps to delay the aging process by promoting collagen formation and improving skin elasticity. An amino acid, arginine is rich in exfoliating properties. Its use imparts a radiant glow while revitalizing your skin.
• Black Peel: This peel treatment exploits the goodness of salicylic acid, potassium iodine, and acetic acid. It is recommended for those with oily and acne-prone skin. It works as an effective anti-acne treatment by eliminating bacteria, removing impurities, and regulating oil production
• Phenol Peel: It uses phenol acid that penetrates the skin’s deep layers to repair damaged skin. Also, this deep phenol peel helps to treat a range of skin concerns. These include sun damage, hyperpigmentation, superficial wrinkles and fine lines, and acne scars.
• Cosmelan Peel: It addresses skin concerns such as melasma and hyperpigmentation. As a specialized procedure, this peel helps to improve dull-looking complexion, even out the skin tone, and lighten the appearance of dark spots. You will need 7 to 15 days to recover after the treatment session.
• Retinol Peel: This exfoliating chemical peel is combined with other peeling agents, producing magical results. Unlike other chemical peels that use fruit enzymes or acids to exfoliate the skin, retinol peel uses vitamin-A to clear the skin of dead skin cells, revealing your natural beauty. After retinol peel treatment, the shedding process ensues for 7 days, leaving you with soft, smooth and supple skin. Your dermatologist will adjust the peel level depending on your skin type and treatment goals.
