CHEMICAL-PEEL TREATMENT
Chemical peel treatment involves peeling the skin of the face, neck, or hands with a chemical to improve the appearance of the skin. During a chemical peel treatment, the skin is exfoliated, allowing smoother, brighter, and less wrinkled skin to gradually appear.
Chemical peels work by lowering the skin’s pH level to around 3.8, making the skin slightly acidic. This process loosens the bonds between dead skin cells and healthy skin, often described as the “glue” that holds them together. With a medium chemical peel treatment, the treated skin becomes noticeably smoother and more refined.
PROCEDURE TIME
It takes approximately 30 to 90 minutes.
DURATION OF ACTION
Mild peels may be repeated one to four weeks apart until you achieve the desired result. Over a period of seven to 14 days, medium-depth and deep peeling may cause swelling, blisters, and crusts. Peels of medium depth can be repeated in six to 12 months.

Chemical peels can cause bacterial, fungal and viral infections, such as herpes - the virus that causes cold sores. Damage to the heart, kidneys, or liver. Carbolic acid (phenol) is used in deep chemical peels, which can damage heart muscle and cause irregular heartbeats.
