Chemical peels work by exfoliating the outermost layer of skin, promoting cell turnover, and encouraging the growth of fresh, healthy skin. This process addresses common aging concerns such as sun damage, uneven skin tone, and mild scarring. By removing dead skin cells, chemical peels leave the skin smoother, brighter, and visibly refreshed.
How Do Chemical Peels Address Aging Skin?
Chemical peels utilize specially formulated solutions to break down the outer layer of skin. Depending on the depth of the peel, they can target superficial to moderate skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven pigmentation
- Rough or dry skin texture
- Sunspots and discoloration
This treatment stimulates collagen production, an essential protein that keeps the skin firm and youthful. Over time, the natural loss of collagen leads to sagging and dull skin. By triggering regeneration, chemical peels encourage firmer, plumper, and more even skin tone.
The treatment is customizable to meet individual needs, with lighter peels offering minimal downtime and gentle exfoliation, while medium peels deliver more dramatic improvements.
What to Expect From a Chemical Peel Treatment
During a chemical peel, your specialist applies a customized solution to your skin. The procedure is quick, typically lasting 30 minutes or less, and most patients describe a mild tingling sensation. Following treatment, the skin may experience temporary redness, peeling, or flaking, which subsides as fresh skin emerges.
It is essential to follow post-treatment care, including sun protection and moisturizing, to ensure optimal results. Most patients notice visible improvements after a single session, with continued benefits seen through multiple treatments.
