Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. It involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outermost layer of the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process promotes the growth of new, smoother, and often less wrinkled skin.
Chemical peels are commonly used to address various skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Chemical peels can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting the growth of new collagen and elastin fibers in the skin.
- Uneven skin tone and pigmentation: Peels can improve the appearance of sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone by removing the top layer of discolored skin cells.
- Acne and acne scars: Certain types of chemical peels, such as salicylic acid peels, can help treat acne and reduce the appearance of acne scars.
- Texture irregularities: Peels can help improve skin texture by smoothing out rough or uneven areas.
