Facial or chemical peels are a skin treatment that can help your face appear smoother and healthier. Chemical peels remove old, damaged skin cells on the surface, allowing new skin to grow making your face look brighter and more even-toned.
There are three categories of chemical peels. The one that’s best for you depends on your skin and your goals.
Superficial Peels: These utilize mild ingredients to gently remove the top layer of skin. Benefits include improved skin texture, reduced acne, and balanced pigmentation for a radiant glow, and a shorter recovery time. You may need more than one treatment to get the best results.
Medium Peels: Penetrate deeper into the skin and work better for resurfacing it and treating acne scars, wrinkles and sun damage. Your skin might need more time to heal after a medium peel.
Deep Peels: These peels go deepest into the second layer of the skin, treating more severe scars or strong wrinkles. They offer significant results, but healing takes longer. These have more risks and should be administered by a trained physician. Typically, you only need one treatment.
