Chemical Peeling

What is chemical peeling

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back after a chemical peel is smoother and younger looking. Chemical peels are used to treat wrinkles, skin discolouration and scars — typically on the face. A chemical peel can be done alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedures.

Generally, fair-skinned and light-haired patients are better candidates for chemical peels. If you have darker skin, you may also have good results, depending upon the type of problem being treated.

Chemical peels work best for people who are experiencing hyper-pigmentation, textured skin, discolouration, and acne scarring.
