Chemical peels are a popular cosmetic treatment designed to improve the texture and appearance of the skin by exfoliating the outer layers. They work by applying a chemical solution that encourages the shedding of dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion underneath. Chemical peels are ideal for individuals looking to reduce signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and skin texture irregularities.
We offer a range of chemical peels, including Tranexamic Acid Peel, which is effective for targeting pigmentation issues such as melasma and dark spots by inhibiting melanin production and promoting even skin tone; and Glycolic Acid Peel, known for its exfoliating properties that help to reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and increase collagen production for a refreshed, glowing look.
Before the treatment, avoid using retinoids or other exfoliating products for a week to minimize skin irritation. It’s also advised to stay out of the sun and avoid products containing alcohol or fragrances that may increase skin sensitivity. After the treatment, expect some redness and flaking for a few days, which is a normal part of the healing process. Moisturize regularly, and use a gentle cleanser and sunscreen daily to protect your skin while it recovers. Avoid picking at the peeling skin to prevent irritation or scarring.
While bruising can occur as with any procedure performed on skin, it is typically well tolerated, and limited only by transient prickly pain at injection site lasting seconds. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours and to avoid lying flat for 4-6 hours after treatment for facial injections.
