A chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back is smoother. With a light or medium peel, you may need the procedure more than once to get the result you want.
Chemical peels are used to treat wrinkles, discoloured skin and scars, usually on the face. They can be done alone or combined with other cosmetic procedures, and at different depths – from light to deep. Deeper peels offer more dramatic results but also take longer to recover from.
A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing procedure. Depending on what we’re addressing, you’ll choose a peel at one of three depths.
Removes the outer layer of skin (epidermis). Used for fine wrinkles, acne, uneven tone and dryness. You might have one every two to five weeks.
Removes cells from the epidermis and the upper part of the dermis. Used for wrinkles, acne scars and uneven tone. It may need repeating to reach or maintain the result.
Removes skin cells deeper still – recommended for deeper wrinkles, scars or precancerous growths. You won’t need repeat procedures to get the full effect.
