Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a treatment in which an acid solution, alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), or phenol is applied to the skin to remove the damaged outer layers of the skin. A chemical peel enhances & smoothens the texture of the skin and is effective in treating blemishes, wrinkles and skin pigmentation. It helps exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin, revealing the new skin layer.Chemical peels help to renew the facial skin, getting rid of scars, blemishes, wrinkles, acne and acne marks.In addition to full-face rejuvenation, some chemical peels also help in spot reduction or stretch marks removal from other body parts.

- Removing fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth
- Treating wrinkles caused by sun damage or ageing
- Improving the appearance of mild scars

Suitable for:

Types of Chemical Peels?
There are 3 main types available categorized as superficial, medium, and deep.
