Chemical Peels

Do you want a smoother and healthier skin? Chemical peels are a perfect option for those who want to treat their wrinkles, scars, discoloration and many other skin issues. They can be used separately, or be combined in a complex treatment. It depends on the skin state and the depth of the problem.

Chemical peels are mostly divided into three depth levels:

  • Light chemical peel
  • Medium chemical peel
  • Deep chemical peel

Light chemical peels can be used every three to five weeks. They remove epidermis. Light peels are very effective for issues like wrinkles, dryness, discolored skin, acne. 

Medium chemical peels address issues like scars, deep wrinkles, uneven skin tone. Together with epidermis, they also extricate dead cells from dermis (a deeper skin layer). For better efficiency, the procedure should be repeated. 

Deep chemical peels reach the deeper levels of your skin removing deep wrinkles and scars. The peeling treatment can even remove precancerous growths.
