Chemical peels involve an exfoliation method that uses a chemical solution to shed dead skin cells from the surface layer, uncovering smoother, rejuvenated skin beneath. By carefully selecting the appropriate type and concentration of acids, these peels can be customised to suit various skin types and concerns, ranging from mild superficial peels to deeper treatments.
The ultimate goal is to improve the skin's appearance by reducing imperfections and promoting healthy skin renewal.
The chemical peel process at Aesthetix Medical Clinic begins with a thorough skin assessment. This initial consultation helps tailor the peel to your specific skin needs.
During the procedure, a carefully selected chemical solution is placed on the skin, which works to break down the outer layers, stimulating the natural regeneration process. Depending on the intensity of the peel, you may experience a tingling or warming sensation, indicating that the peel is actively working to rejuvenate your skin.
The entire process is meticulously managed to ensure maximum comfort and efficacy, leading to visibly improved skin texture and tone.
Following the procedure, it's essential to protect the newly exposed skin from the sun by using a high-SPF sunscreen, as the skin will be more sensitive to UV rays.
Our team will provide you with a detailed aftercare plan, which may include gentle, soothing products to assist in the healing process and ensure optimal results. Keeping the skin hydrated and avoiding harsh products or exfoliants for a specified period is also recommended to facilitate a smooth, complication-free recovery.
The recommended interval varies based on your skin type, concerns, and the type of peel. Superficial peels may occur every 4 to 6 weeks for maintenance, while medium-depth peels are spaced every 3 to 6 months for more significant corrections. Deep peels, targeting severe skin conditions, are performed less frequently, possibly once a year.
Chemical peels offer a multitude of benefits, making them a versatile solution for various skin concerns. These benefits include:
