CHEMICAL PEELS

A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that involves the application of a solution to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell growth.

There are three main types of chemical peels: superficial peels, medium peels, and deep peels. The strength of the peel will determine the type of solution used and the depth of exfoliation.

Chemical peels can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.

Some discomfort may be experienced during a chemical peel, depending on the strength of the solution used. A mild peel may cause only a slight tingling sensation, while a deeper peel may cause more significant discomfort. Your aesthetician can provide pain-relieving measures to minimize any discomfort during the treatment.

The frequency of chemical peels depends on the type of peel and the individual's skin type and concerns. Mild peels can typically be done every four to six weeks, while deeper peels may need to be done less frequently. It is best to discuss a treatment schedule with your aesthetician.

Yes, there is typically some downtime after a chemical peel, depending on the strength of the solution used. Mild peels may only result in a few days of redness and flaking, while deeper peels may require several days of social downtime. Your aesthetician will provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimize any downtime.
