Chemical Peeling:
Chemical peeling is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck, or hands. It involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This process stimulates the growth of new skin cells, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin.
There are three main types of chemical peels, based on their depth and strength:
- Superficial Peels:
- Medium Peels:
- Deep Peels:
The procedure for chemical peeling involves the following:
- Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying the chemical solution. The chemical solution is then carefully applied to the treatment area for a specific duration determined by the type of peel and the desired outcome.
- After the peel, the skin may appear red, feel tight, and begin to peel in the following days as new skin forms.
- It’s crucial to follow post-peel instructions provided by the dermatologist or skincare professional, including using gentle skincare products, avoiding sun exposure, and applying sunscreen diligently during the healing process.
