CHEMICAL PEELS

Benefits of Chemical Peels:

1. Improves Skin Texture and Tone:

   • Chemical peels help smoothen rough patches, improve skin tone, and give a more even complexion.

2. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles:

   • Peels can target early signs of aging by promoting collagen production and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

3. Treats Acne and Acne Scars:

   • Certain types of peels (like salicylic acid peels) help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and improve acne scars.

4. Fades Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage:

   • Chemical peels help lighten dark spots, melasma, and sun-damaged skin by exfoliating the top layers where pigmentation resides.

5. Reduces Pore Size:

   • Peels can minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and improve overall skin clarity.

6. Improves Skin Hydration:

   • Some chemical peels help retain moisture and rejuvenate dry, dull skin by promoting cell turnover and healthier skin.

7. Boosts Skincare Absorption:

   • After a chemical peel, the skin is more receptive to skincare products, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.

Aftercare:

1. Avoid Sun Exposure:

   • Your skin will be highly sensitive after a chemical peel, so use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and avoid direct sun exposure.

2. Moisturize:

   • Keep the skin well-hydrated with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to help soothe and speed up the healing process.

3. Avoid Picking or Peeling:

   • Do not peel off flaking skin manually, as this can lead to scarring or infection. Let the peeling process occur naturally.

4. Gentle Cleansing:

   • Use a mild cleanser and avoid harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or other active ingredients for at least a week after the peel.

5. Healing Time:

   • For superficial peels, redness or flaking should resolve within a few days. Medium peels may require a week or more to heal, while deep peels can take several weeks for full recovery.
