How Chemical Peels Improve Aging Skin
Chemical peels are treatments designed to exfoliate the top layers of skin using a specially formulated chemical solution. As the old, dull skin peels away, it reveals new skin that looks brighter, firmer, and more even in tone. Depending on the depth of the peel—light, medium, or deep—you can target a range of skin concerns.
By promoting cell turnover and collagen production, chemical peels help minimize visible signs of aging such as:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Age spots and sun damage
-
Uneven skin tone
-
Rough texture
-
Enlarged pores
Each type of peel is tailored to your skin condition and goals. A lighter peel may be ideal for refreshing your appearance with minimal downtime, while deeper peels offer more intensive results for deeper wrinkles or pigmentation issues.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
During your consultation, a thorough skin assessment ensures the treatment suits your skin type and goals. The procedure itself typically involves cleansing your skin and applying the chemical solution for a controlled amount of time. You might experience a tingling or warm sensation, which is normal and temporary.
Recovery time varies depending on the intensity of the peel. Light peels might involve some redness and flaking for a few days, while deeper peels could require a week or more of downtime. With proper aftercare and sun protection, your skin will continue to improve over time, becoming smoother, more resilient, and visibly refreshed.
