What is Chemical Peel?
Chemical peel treatments enhance skin texture by applying a specialized solution to the face. The solution, tailored to the desired level of exfoliation, remains on the skin for several minutes or longer, depending on the intensity of the peel. Strong peels are rinsed off after a short duration, while milder formulations may stay on for several hours. This process exfoliates the skin and removes damaged cells, leading to the shedding of outer layers.
Fresh, rejuvenated skin then emerges, characterized by a smoother and healthier appearance. Chemical peels effectively promote skin renewal by encouraging the growth of new skin cells, resulting in a more radiant complexion and improved overall skin health.
