Chemical peels are a type of treatment that can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including acne, wrinkles, and sun damage. The peel uses a chemical solution to remove the outer layer of skin, revealing the smoother, healthier skin beneath. Chemical peels can be performed at different depths, depending on the severity of the condition being treated. The deeper the peel, the more effective the results.

Types of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are one of the most popular and effective treatments for a number of skin imperfections. But with so many different types of peels available, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. The three most common types of chemical peels are:

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)

AHAs are the most popular type of peel, as they are effective for a wide range of skin concerns. The most commonly used AHA is glycolic acid, which helps to exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal new, radiant skin. AHA peels can be used to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, and other signs of aging. They can also help to reduce the appearance of acne scars.

Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs)

Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs)

Unlike AHAs, BHAs are oil soluble, making them ideal for treating acne-prone skin. The most commonly used BHA is salicylic acid, which helps to unclog pores and can help to clear up acne and prevent breakouts. BHA peels are also less likely to cause irritation than other types of peels, making them a good option for those with sensitive skin.

Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA)

TCA peels are the strongest type of chemical peel and are typically used to treat more stubborn skin concerns such as deep wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. TCA peels can also be used to improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. TCA peels can be performed at various depths, from superficial to deep. Superficial TCA peels are often used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while deeper peels are better suited for treating acne scars and other types of damage. The depth of penetration can be adjusted to meet the needs of each individual patient.
