Chemical Peels

Description

A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure where a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove its top layers. This treatment promotes the growth of new, smoother, and more flawless skin. Depending on the peel’s depth—light, medium, or deep—multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results. It treats skin conditions like Wrinkles, sun damage, scars, hyperpigmentation, melasma, uneven tone, redness.

Innovative Biophase Treatment Peel

This advanced peel dissolves bonds between skin cells, gently exfoliating dull surface layers without downtime. It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, improves skin texture, and deeply cleans pores, effectively removing blackheads and blocked pores. Its antibacterial and microbial properties make it beneficial for acne-prone skin, reducing redness and shrinking pore size, even suitable for sensitive skin.

Choosing the Right Acid for Your Peel

Different acids are used in chemical peels, often combined in advanced formulations like Derma 2.0 for enhanced results

• Mandelic Acid: Suitable for sensitive skin, pigmentation, and acne. Gentle exfoliation with less irritation due to larger molecular size.
• Glycolic Acid: Targets fine lines, sun damage, and improves skin texture by deep exfoliation.
• Pyruvic Acid: Ideal for oily, acne-prone skin; reduces oiliness and improves texture.
• Salicylic Acid: A BHA that clears pores, treats acne, and controls oil.
• Azelaic Acid: Anti-inflammatory; effective for rosacea, acne, and hyperpigmentation.
• Lactic Acid: Hydrates and exfoliates; best for dry or uneven skin
  Types of Peels:
  • Superficial: Mild acids, gentle exfoliation, 4-7 day recovery.
  • Medium: Trichloroacetic or glycolic acid, reaches deeper layers, 5-7 days recovery.
  • Deep: Phenol or high-strength TCA, fully penetrates skin, longer recovery (~2 weeks), more dramatic results.
