What are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back is smoother. With a light or medium peel, you may need to undergo the procedure more than once to get the desired results.
Chemical peels are used to treat wrinkles, acne, discolored skin and scars — usually on the face. They can be done alone or combined with other cosmetic procedures. And they can be done at different depths, from light to deep. Deeper chemical peels offer more-dramatic results but also take longer to recover from.

What will I expect after the treatment?
After undergoing a peel treatment, it is common to experience some redness or dryness in the first few days, typically lasting until day 3. From days 3 to 7, you may notice slight peeling of the skin. It is important not to pick at or exfoliate the peeling skin during this time.
Around 7 days to 14 days post-peel, you can expect to see the emergence of new glowing skin. Your complexion will appear more even-toned and the texture of your skin will be noticeably improved. This is the exciting phase where you can enjoy the results of your peel treatment, as your skin rejuvenates and reveals its renewed beauty.
