What is Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are a highly common and recommended skin treatment both as a standalone and an add-on. They involve the application of a customized chemical solution to the skin, which gently exfoliates and peels the treated area, revealing smoother, healthier skin. The advantage of consulting an expert dermatologist like Dr. Deveshri Kalra at The Skin Esthetic Derma Skin Clinic is that your skin type, treatment history, overall skin condition, and aesthetic goals are all carefully considered before recommending the most suitable chemical peel for your unique needs

How Can a Chemical Peel Improve Your Skin?

  • Smooths rough patches and makes the skin softer to touch.
  • Reduces pigmentation, dark spots, freckles, and discoloration for a brighter complexion.
  • Helps minimize early signs of aging and softens facial lines.
  • Promotes skin renewal, improving the appearance of acne scars and marks
  • Removes dull, damaged outer skin layers, revealing fresh and glowing skin underneath.
  • Helps reverse sun spots, tanning, and uneven pigmentation caused by UV exposure.
  • Tightens enlarged pores, leaving the skin looking smoother and more refined.
  • Encourages new cell growth and collagen formation for long-term skin health.

How Many Types of Chemical Peels Are There?

At The Skin Esthetic Derma Skin Clinic, Dr. Deveshri Kalra offers three types of chemical peels. After a thorough skin evaluation during your consultation, she will recommend the most suitable peel based on your skin’s condition and goals. Here’s a brief overview of each option.

Superficial Peels:

A superficial peel is a mild treatment that often uses alpha hydroxy acids to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin. It helps soften rough skin, brighten the complexion, and improve mild discoloration, leaving your skin refreshed and smoother.

Medium Peels:

Medium peels typically use glycolic acid or trichloroacetic acid to exfoliate not only the outer layer of skin but also reach slightly deeper layers. This treatment is highly effective for reducing freckles, age spots, acne scars, sun damage, and signs of aging, while also improving overall skin tone and texture

Deep Peels:

Deep chemical peels use stronger agents such as trichloroacetic acid or phenol to target and remove damaged skin layers that affect the clarity of your complexion. This intensive treatment is especially effective in reducing facial scars, deep wrinkles, folds, creases, and fine lines, revealing smoother and more youthful-looking
skin.

How to Care for Your Skin After a Chemical Peel?

  • Moisturize regularly with a gentle, dermatologist-recommended moisturizer. This helps soothe dryness and flakiness as your skin begins to peel.
  • Your skin will be more vulnerable to the sun after a peel. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and avoid direct sun exposure, especially during peak hours.
  • It’s natural for the skin to peel after treatment, but resist the urge to pick or scratch at the flakes. Let the skin shed naturally to avoid scarring or uneven healing.
  • Switch to a mild, non-foaming cleanser that won’t irritate your skin. Avoid harsh scrubs, exfoliants, or products with active ingredients like retinol or glycolic acid until your dermatologist advises.
  • Avoid applying makeup for at least 24–48 hours after the peel. Give your skin time to breathe and recover before using cosmetic products again.
