Chemical peels are a powerful treatment for rejuvenating the skin, improving skin texture, and addressing many common skin concerns. By applying specially formulated chemical solutions to exfoliate the skin, chemical peels encourage cell turnover and reveal fresher, healthier skin underneath. If you’re struggling with any of the following concerns, a chemical peel may be the perfect solution for you.
1. Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage
Dark spots, uneven skin tone, and sun damage can make your complexion appear dull and aged. Chemical peels—particularly medium-depth peels with ingredients like trichloroacetic acid (TCA)—can help fade pigmentation and even out skin tone by removing damaged skin cells and stimulating new tissue growth.
2. Fine Lines & Wrinkles
As you age, your skin’s collagen production slows down, leading to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Medium to deep chemical peels that contain TCA or phenol can significantly improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production, which helps to smooth out wrinkles and restore a more youthful appearance.
3. Acne Scars
For those dealing with acne scars, a deep chemical peel with ingredients like TCA or phenol can be highly effective. This type of peel will deeply penetrate the pores, clearing out dead or damaged skin cells while also reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left behind by acne.
4. Melasma
Melasma, a condition that causes brown or gray patches on the skin, can be stubborn and difficult to treat. Superficial to medium-depth peels containing lactic acid or kojic acid can help lighten melasma and improve overall skin tone.
5. Rough Texture & Enlarged Pores
If your skin feels rough, or if you struggle with enlarged pores, superficial peels with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) can help refine skin texture by removing dead skin cells and promoting smoother, healthier skin.
