Chemical Peels

Cosmetic Procedure

A chemical peel is a method for enhancing the look of the skin on the hands, neck, or face. It is a procedure in which a chemical solution is administered to the skin in order to exfoliate and ultimately peel off the skin’s damaged outer layer. When the new skin is exposed, it is less wrinkly and smoother. Limiting exposure and using a decent sunscreen are advised because it might be sensitive to the sun for a few days.

Chemical Peels: Types
The depth of the skin determines how effectively chemical peels are categorised. There are three types of peels: superficial, medium, and deep, depending on the pigmentation and skin issues. Typically, 6 to 8 sessions are advised, which can be repeated after 15 days or as advised by the dermatologist at Sanjay Rithik Hospital.

Peels that are superficial or light

These peels include alpha-hydroxy acids. They get all the way down to the stratum corneum, the outermost layer. They are employed to cure acne, lighten discolouration, and improve the appearance of moderate skin.
