Chemical peels
Science-backed exfoliation for all skin types, approached with precision,
control, and full respect for Indian skin.
Overview
Understanding Chemical peels
Chemical peeling, or chemical exfoliation, involves applying a chemical substance to the skin, intentionally causing controlled epidermal damage with or without affecting the dermis. This controlled damage prompts skin regeneration and remodelling, thereby improving overall skin appearance and texture. Skin resurfacing with a chemical peel can restore a youthful appearance of the aging face, neck, and hands.
Types of chemical peels.
Chemical peels are of various types—each with a unique pH level, application method, time, and associated risks and complications
01
Alpha hydroxy acid peels
Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are naturally occurring carboxylic acids such as glycolic acid, a natural constituent of sugar cane juice and lactic acid, found in sour milk and tomato juice. This is the mildest of the peel formulas and produces light peels for treatment of fine wrinkles, areas of dryness, uneven pigmentation and acne. AHA peels may cause stinging, skin redness, mild skin irritation, and dryness.
02
Beta hydroxy acid peels
It is becoming common for beta hydroxy acid (BHA) peels to be used instead of the stronger alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peels due to BHA’s ability to get deeper into the pore than AHA.
Studies show that BHA peels control sebum excretion, acne as well as remove dead skin cells. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid
03
Retinoic acid peel ( yellow peel)
Retinoic acid is a retinoid. This is a deeper peel than the beta hydroxy acid peel and is used to remove scars as well as wrinkles and pigmentation problems.
The client leaves with the chemical peel solution on their face.
The peeling process takes place on the third day.
More dramatic changes to the skin require multiple peels over time.
