Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a popular form of skin treatment used to improve the appearance of the skin. They are typically used to reduce wrinkles, discolorations, and other signs of aging. The procedure involves applying a chemical solution to the face, which causes the skin to peel off. Depending on the type of chemical peel and the severity of the skin issue being treated, the process can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.
After the chemical peel, the skin may be red and swollen for a few days, and some peeling may occur. This is normal and should resolve itself in a few days. In some cases, a recovery period of several weeks may be necessary. During this time, the skin should be protected from the sun, and moisturizers and other treatments may be recommended. Ultimately, chemical peels can improve the appearance of the skin and can help reduce wrinkles, discolorations, and other age-related skin issues.
