Chemical Peel

Definition: A layered chemical peel involves applying different types of chemical peels in succession, often using varying concentrations and formulations to target specific skin concerns more effectively.

Purpose: It aims to treat a variety of skin issues, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs): Like glycolic or lactic acid, these are often used for exfoliation and improving skin texture.

Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs): Such as salicylic acid, effective for acne-prone skin due to their ability to penetrate oil.

Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA): Used for deeper peels, targeting more significant concerns like deep wrinkles or severe pigmentation.

Jessner’s Solution: A combination of resorcinol, salicylic acid, and lactic acid.

Consultation: A thorough skin assessment to determine the best approach for your skin type and concerns.

Preparation: Skin is typically prepped with cleansing and a pre-peel regimen to enhance results.

Application: Multiple layers of chemical solutions are applied sequentially. Each layer is usually left on for a specific duration.

Neutralisation: The peels are neutralized (if needed) and removed after the desired time.

Post-Care: A soothing mask or treatment may be applied afterwards, along with detailed aftercare instructions.

Customised Treatment: The ability to tailor the peel to target specific issues effectively.

Enhanced Results: Layering different peels can yield more noticeable and longer-lasting results

Microdermabrasion is a less invasive skin resurfacing procedure compared to traditional dermabrasion.
