How it works
What is a Chemical Peel And Why Should I Get One?
Chemical skin peels use enzymes and acids to remove the dead top layer of skin, to reveal a more youthful, clearer and fresher appearing skin. Basically, a chemical peel exfoliates the top layers of your skin. Instead of using a harsh scrub or dermabrasion, different types of chemical ingredients are used to remove the layers of dead skin. Apart from curing your skin blemish issues, chemical peels will also allow the skin care products that you use to be absorbed more effectively.
It is a very popular treatment that is used all over the world and helps to treat wrinkles, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. Why not come and try chemical peel and see how life-transforming the results can be for you?

Chemical peels are recommended when topical acne medication available from the pharmacy does not produce the desired results. A chemical peel will result in a clearer complexion free from active acne as well as improving the appearance of acne scars.
A chemical peel as the name suggests involves applying a chemical solution to the skin surface. This will cause the skin to peel and blister over several days. Fresh new skin will be revealed once the dead skin has peeled off. Additionally, a skin peels will reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and scars associated with acne. Besides helping to eliminate active acne, an acne peel can make the skin appear smoother and help remove any pigmentation.
Most people do not know that chemical peels can not only treat acne scars but also treat active acne. Additionally, they can treat clogged pores, hyperpigmentation, inflamed breakouts, and mild scarring.
According to Dr Targett, “Chemical peels for acne are an excellent treatment for renewing the outer layer of the skin. Chemical peels help to keep the pores clear by removing the dead skin cells. Once the pores are clear, oil from sebaceous glands, as well as bacteria causing acne, are free to flow to the surface of the skin instead of causing an infection beneath the skin.”
Modern chemical peels are much milder than they once were. You should not have to endure days of hiding away with red flaking skin.
By treating acne with chemical peels you can prevent the formation of acne scars as well as having clean, fresh, and acne free skin.
There are basically three categories of chemicals peels that are used to treat acne. These are; AHA peels(alpha hydroxy acid), TCA peels (trichloroacetic acid) and Phenol Peels. AHA peels are the most gentle peels, TCA peels are a little stronger and Phenol peels are the strongest type of peel. AHA peels are mild and used for the treatment of active acne. TCA peels and Phenol peels are used for acne scars and are much more severe in action and require a longer recovery period.
There is no recovery time necessary, and patients can return home or work immediately after the injection process. There are no specific aftercare instructions and no downtime.
Within about a week, the muscle relaxant will have taken full effect, blocking signals to the sweat glands. You should see a noticeable reduction in sweat by this time. Patients should note that it is common to experience a substantial reduction, rather than complete elimination, of sweating.
The results of this treatment last for 6-8 months. Many patients return for repeat injections in order to maintain its effects.
The recovery period for a chemical peel for acne will depend on the type of chemical peel used. For active acne, an AHA peel will usually be used. After effects of an AHA peel include, redness, flaking skin, dryness. These effects are usually very mild and you will be able to return to normal activities straight away without any downtime.
