Chemical Peel
Peels Away Aging
Due to aging and unprotected sun exposure, the daily process of natural exfoliation of dead cells performed by your skin slows down. Sometimes, the process may stop altogether. This results in clogged, enlarged pores, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dry, dull or flaky skin. Peeling is a treatment which aids the skin to smoothly exfoliate its development of dead skin. Peeling helps in unveiling the beautiful, soft, hydrated skin the way it usually was when you were youthful. We at The Skin Clinic call this procedure as ‘fruit washes.
At the Skin Clinic, we do rotational treatments with lasers and peels, keeping in mind that our clients want the fastest, safest, and longest-lasting result.
Some of the procedures we do are Glycolic acid, Trichloroacetic acid (TCA), Mandelic acid, Jessner’s Peel, Arginine Peel, lactic acid (Alpha Hydroxyl Acid or AHA), Retinol, Cocktail peel, Kojic acid peel, etc. I also use hydroquinone in varying strengths, depending on skin type and sensitivity.
Most of these are derived from fruits, dry fruits and nuts (almonds) or milk. Peels help in the overall rejuvenation of skin by exfoliating dead skin cells, unclogging the pores, and increasing cell turnover. Thus, pigmentation is decreased, and remodeling by collagen regeneration occurs.
How does Peeling work?
Exfoliants act to break the bonds which secure dull, dead skin on the surface resulting in gently and evenly shedding of skin. So, although you won’t literally see your skin exfoliating, you’ll soon see the smoother, younger-looking skin that was always hiding beneath.
