Face Peels: The Secret to Radiant, Rejuvenated Skin
Face Peels, also known as Chemical Peels, are dermatological treatments that use specially formulated acids to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. These peels help remove dead skin cells, improve skin texture, and target concerns such as acne, pigmentation, fine lines, and dullness.
Types of Face Peels
1. Superficial Peels (Mild Peels)
✅ Uses mild acids like Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) or Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA).
✅ Exfoliates the top layer of the skin, improving skin tone and texture.
✅ Ideal for dull skin, mild acne, and minor pigmentation.
✅ Minimal downtime, mild redness, and peeling.
Examples:
- Glycolic Acid Peel (Brightening & anti-aging)
- Lactic Acid Peel (Hydrating & gentle for sensitive skin)
- Salicylic Acid Peel (Oil control & acne treatment)
2. Medium Peels
✅ Uses stronger acids like TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) to penetrate deeper into the skin.
✅ Treats fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, and sun damage.
✅ Skin may peel for 3-7 days post-treatment.
Examples:
- TCA Peel (Wrinkle reduction & deep acne treatment)
- Jessner’s Peel (Hyperpigmentation & acne scars)
3. Deep Peels
✅ Uses Phenol or high-strength TCA to deeply exfoliate the skin.
✅ Best for deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, and intense pigmentation.
✅ Requires downtime with significant peeling and redness.
✅ Results are long-lasting and dramatic.
Example:
- Phenol Peel (Best for deep wrinkles and severe aging signs)
