Skin peeling, also known as chemical peeling, is a cosmetic procedure that uses a chemical solution to remove the top layer of dead skin cells, revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin. The procedure is typically done by applying the chemical solution to the skin, which causes the top layer of dead skin cells to peel off. There are different types of chemical peels available, each with a different level of intensity. The most common types include:
Superficial peels: These peels use mild acid solutions, such as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), to remove the top layer of dead skin cells. They are typically used to improve the appearance of mild wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
Medium peels: These peels use stronger acid solutions, such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), to penetrate deeper into the skin. They are typically used to improve the appearance of moderate wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars.
Deep peels: These peels use the strongest acid solutions, such as phenol, to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin. They are typically used to improve the appearance of severe wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars, they are performed in hospitals by highly trained professionals. It’s important to note that chemical peels should only be administered by a trained and qualified healthcare professional.
