A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin in order to exfoliate or peel away the outermost layer of dead, damaged, or discoloured skin. This process can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.
Types of Chemical Peels
A glow peel is a type of chemical peel that uses a combination of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) to exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover. This treatment helps to reveal brighter, smoother, and more even-toned skin, giving it a youthful and radiant glow. Glow peels are commonly used to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging, and can be customized to suit individual skincare needs.
AHA (alpha hydroxy acid) peels are water-soluble acids derived from fruits and milk. They are effective in exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin and improving skin texture and tone. AHAs work well for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.
On the other hand, BHA (beta hydroxy acid) or salicylic acid peels are oil-soluble acids commonly used for acne-prone skin. They penetrate through the oil in the skin to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and improve the texture of the skin. Salicylic acid is also anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory, which makes it effective in treating acne.
The main difference between AHA and BHA peels is that AHAs work on the surface of the skin while BHAs penetrate deeper into the skin. AHAs are best suited for treating hyperpigmentation, while BHAs work better for acne, blackheads, and oily skin. Both types of peels can improve skin texture, tone, and appearance when used correctly.
An enzyme peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses natural enzymes from fruits and other plants to exfoliate and improve the texture of the skin. These enzymes break down dead skin cells and unclog pores, leaving the skin smoother, brighter, and more even toned. Enzyme peels are gentler and less abrasive than traditional chemical or physical exfoliants and are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. They are often used to treat acne, fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, and to improve overall skin health and radiance.
