A Chemical Peel is a cosmetic treatment where a chemical solution is used to improve the texture of the skin by removing its damaged outer layers. It helps improve the appearance of scars, facial blemishes, wrinkles, uneven skin pigmentation and age spots.
Chemical peel procedure
Chemical peel treatment doesn't require anesthesia and a full face peel usually takes no more than 20 minutes. The chemical solution is applied to the surface of the skin which leads to the careful removal of its outer layers.
After surgery
After a chemical peel, you will experience discomfort and mild swelling for the first week. After this initial week, your new skin will be begin to show and you can resume normal activities.
Chemical peel risks and side effects
The risks of a chemical peel are minimal and complications are very rare. However, you should still fully discuss the possible risks with your surgeon.
