Chemical Peels
WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL?
A chemical peel is a treatment used to improve skin texture and tone. An acid is applied to the skin to lower the pH, which loosens the connections between dead skin cells, including exfoliation and stimulating new cell growth. This process causes superficial layers of dead skin to peels off, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion.
Chemical peels have been used dating back to Ancient Egypt, according to some sources, Cleopatra used sour milk to improve the appearance of her skin.

At Dermace Laser Clinic, we offer superficial to medium depth peels, which are known for their excellent results and safety profile. We believe in repeated treatment for progressive and gradual results to avoid side effects and downtime associated with deeper peels. Our peels are only performed by highly trained skin care professionals to ensure that they are delivered safely and effectively.

Each individual's skin is unique, and Dermace Laser Clinic understands the importance of personalized care.

How does a chemical peel work?Chemical peels work by using specific acid solutions to remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell turnover. The acids penetrate the skin and dissolve the bonds between old skin cells, allowing them to be sloughed off. This process encourages the growth of new skin cells, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath.
-
What skin concerns can chemical peels address?Chemical peels can effectively address various skin concerns, including acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and texture irregularities. The type and strength of the peel will depend on the specific concerns being targeted.

How long is the recovery period after a chemical peel?The recovery time can vary depending on the type and depth of the peel. Superficial peels typically have minimal downtime, with some redness and peeling that lasts for a few days. Our medium to deep peels may require a longer recovery period, ranging from several days to a few weeks, during which the skin may appear red, swollen, and have more noticeable peeling.
