What is a Chemical Peel?

During a chemical peel, a chemical solution is applied to the skin to exfoliate and remove the top layers of damaged or dead skin cells. This procedure encourages the production of new skin cells, which leads to skin that is softer, clearer, and more radiant. Acne, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage are some skin issues that may be remedied with a chemical peel. Depending on the concentration and kind of the chemical, chemical peels may be mildly exfoliating to severe. The surgery is usually done in a medical spa or dermatologist's office, and recovery time may range from a few days to a week or more.

How Chemical Peels Work

Chemical peels use permitted ingredients to remove the outermost layers of dead skin cells, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath. The type and strength of the solution will vary depending on the specific skin concerns being addressed.

During a chemical peel treatment, the solution is applied to the skin and left on for a specific time, depending on the desired penetration depth. As the solution works its way into the skin, it dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, causing them to slough off. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, increasing collagen production and creating a smoother, more youthful complexion.

The depth of penetration and the strength of the chemical peel solution will determine the intensity of the treatment and the amount of downtime required for recovery. Superficial peels, which only penetrate the outermost layer of skin, typically have minimal downtime and may be suitable for people with mild skin concerns. Medium-depth and deep peels penetrate deeper into the skin and can produce more dramatic results but may require several days of recovery time and should only be performed by a licensed skincare professional.

Overall, chemical peels can be a highly effective treatment for addressing many skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. Choosing the right chemical peel for your skin type and issues requires consultation with a trained skincare practitioner.
