Frequently Asked Questions
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a skincare treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outer layers, revealing smoother, refreshed skin.
How does a chemical peel work?
Chemical peels work by removing damaged outer layers of skin. This process encourages cell turnover and stimulates the growth of new, healthier skin cells.
What areas can be treated with a chemical peel?
Chemical peels are primarily used on the face but can also be applied to the neck and hands. They’re helpful for reducing fine lines, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and sun damage.
Are chemical peels safe?
Yes, when performed by a trained professional, chemical peels are generally safe. Mild redness, peeling, or temporary irritation might occur as the skin heals, but serious side effects are rare.
How long do the effects of a chemical peel last?
The results of a chemical peel can vary based on the type and depth of the peel. Generally, the effects last several months, and multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results.
What's the recovery time after a chemical peel?
Recovery time depends on the depth of the peel. With superficial peels, there might be mild redness and flaking for a few days. Deeper peels might require a week or more for the skin to fully heal.
