Chemical Peel Treatment for Healthier-Looking Skin
At Lifero Skin and Hair Clinic, we provide personalized chemical peel treatments designed to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. Depending on your skin concerns and clinical assessment, a suitable peel may help address pigmentation, acne, acne scars, uneven skin tone, fine lines and dull-looking skin.
Our approach focuses on selecting an appropriate peel strength and treatment plan based on your skin type, concerns and desired outcomes. A consultation helps determine whether a chemical peel is suitable for you and which approach may be appropriate.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to exfoliate selected layers. As the treated skin sheds, new skin can appear smoother and more even-looking.
How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
During a chemical peel, a selected chemical solution is applied to the skin for a controlled period. The solution exfoliates targeted layers of skin, and the depth of treatment depends on the type and concentration of the peel. The appropriate formulation is selected according to your skin type, concerns and treatment goals.
Types of Chemical Peels
Superficial Peels
Superficial peels use relatively mild acids to exfoliate the outermost layers of the skin. Depending on the formulation, they may be used to improve skin texture, mild discoloration and dull-looking skin.
Medium-Depth Peels
Medium-depth peels penetrate deeper into the skin than superficial peels and may be used for selected concerns such as pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines and uneven skin texture. They generally involve more recovery than superficial peels.
Deep Peels
Deep chemical peels penetrate further into the skin and may be considered for selected severe skin concerns. They require careful clinical assessment and generally involve more significant recovery and potential risks than lighter peels.
