Chemical Peel Treatment

Chemical Peel Treatment

Chemical peel treatment involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate the top layers. This process reveals new, healthier skin underneath. At AfyaCore Skin and Laser Clinic, chemical peels are customized to address various skin concerns, including acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and enlarged pores.

Types of Chemical Peels

  • Superficial Peels: Use mild acids like alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to exfoliate the outermost skin layer. Ideal for improving texture and tone.
  • Medium Peels: Use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to penetrate the middle skin layers, targeting acne scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation.
  • Deep Peels: Use phenol or stronger TCA solutions to penetrate deeper layers of skin, effectively treating deeper wrinkles and severe scars.

Chemical Peel Before and After

Patients typically experience significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and clarity after treatment. Before treatment, skin may appear dull, uneven, or blemished. After a chemical peel, the skin looks brighter, smoother, and more youthful. Multiple sessions may be necessary for the best results.

Chemical Peel Side Effects

  • Mild redness and peeling
  • Temporary dryness or flakiness
  • Sensitivity to sun exposure
  • Itching or mild irritation
  • Swelling in deeper peels (temporary)

Following aftercare instructions, including moisturizing and sun protection, minimizes side effects.
