What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a specialized solution to remove the outer layers of damaged skin, revealing a fresh and rejuvenated complexion. This treatment reduces the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone, leaving your skin brighter and smoother.

Introducing the DNA Chemical Peel – Cellular Skin Repair

The DNA chemical peel is a breakthrough treatment that repairs skin at the cellular level. It targets the skin's DNA, shielding it from free radicals and environmental damage. Infused with the powerful antioxidants of vitamins C and E, along with reparative enzymes, this peel protects and revitalizes your skin. It also incorporates photoreactivation mechanisms and growth factors to promote deep healing and renewal. With the added benefit of retinol, this peel stimulates collagen production, reducing wrinkles and unifying your skin tone for a youthful and radiant look.

Benefits of Chemical Peeling

  • Improves Skin Texture : By removing dead skin cells, chemical peels improve overall skin texture, promoting smoother and softer skin.
  • Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles : Chemical peels stimulate collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful look.
  • Treats Acne and Acne Scars : It is effective for preventing acne breakouts and reducing the appearance of acne scars, making your skin clearer and more even.
  • Even Skin Tone : Peels help reduce hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone, giving you a more uniform complexion

Types of Chemical Peels

  • Superficial Peels :These gentle peels use mild acids, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), to exfoliate the surface layer of the skin. They are ideal for treating minor imperfections and refreshing the skin.
  • Medium Peels : More intensive peels that use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to target deeper skin concerns like moderate wrinkles and sun damage.
  • Deep Peels : Deep peels with phenol address severe wrinkles, deep scars, and extensive skin damage, providing dramatic results with a more extended recovery period.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  • Sensations During Treatment : You may experience a mild tingling or burning sensation during the peel, but these effects are usually temporary and manageable.
  • Procedure Duration and Downtime : The length of the procedure and recovery time varies depending on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels may have no downtime, while deeper peels may require a few days of recovery.
  • Immediate Results : Some redness and peeling after your peel are normal. These effects will subside as your skin regenerates, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.
