CHEMICAL PEEL
Evidence based simple procedure that works by sloughing off dead skin cells that has accumulated over the skin due to multiple factors ( sun exposure,pollution ,ageing and poor diet management ) and regenerating new skin cells to replace the old.
During a chemical peel a “chemical agent” is applied to your skin to exfoliate sun-damaged, thickened surface skin (peeling) and boost collagen production for firmer skin.
Most peels contain one of the following exfoliating ingredients:
alpha hydroxy acids
(an AHA , such as glycolic acid)
beta hydroxy acids
(salicylic acid, also known as BHA)
There are light, superficial peels, medium peels and deep peels. Superficial peels offer far less dramatic improvement than medium or deep peels (e.g., TCA-trichloroacetic acid or phenol-based) but the risk of side effects, some of which are severe, is higher with deep peels.
