Chemical Peels
Skin texture and tone play a major role in how healthy and youthful the face appears. Factors such as sun exposure, acne, pigmentation, and ageing can cause dullness, uneven tone, and visible marks that skincare products alone may not correct. These concerns often affect confidence and overall appearance.
Understanding the Basics
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are non-surgical skin treatments that use carefully selected chemical solutions to exfoliate the skin. By removing damaged outer layers, chemical peels stimulate skin renewal and improve texture, tone, and clarity.
The strength and type of peel are customized based on skin type, concern, and treatment goals to ensure safe and effective results.
Types of Chemical Peels
Different chemical peels are used based on skin concerns and desired depth of treatment.
Superficial Peels
Target mild pigmentation, acne, and dullness with minimal downtime.
Medium Peels
Improve deeper pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines.
Deep Peels
Address severe skin damage and advanced signs of ageing under medical supervision.
