What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin. This solution causes the outer layers of the skin to exfoliate and peel off, revealing smoother, less wrinkled skin underneath. Chemical peels can address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation (dark spots and uneven skin tone)
- Sun damage
- Rough skin texture
Types of Chemical Peels We Offer:
At Raneshwar Multispecialty Hospital, we offer a range of chemical peels tailored to address your specific skin concerns and goals. These include:
- Superficial Peels:
- Examples: Glycolic acid peels, Lactic acid peels.
- Depth: Affect only the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis).
- Benefits: Improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, brighten skin tone, and address mild acne.
- Downtime: Minimal, with slight redness or flaking.
- Frequency: Often recommended in a series for optimal results.
- Medium-Depth Peels:
