What Are Chemical Skin Peels?Having a chemical peel

Skin peels, also known as chemical peels, use clinically formulated solutions to exfoliate the top layers of the skin. Depending on the depth of the peel, they can target superficial concerns or penetrate deeper layers for more dramatic skin rejuvenation. The result is smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin.

At Berkshire Aesthetics, we offer both mild and intensive peels, ensuring that patients with sensitive, normal, oily, or mature skin can benefit from a customised exfoliation and renewal process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are chemical skin peels?

A: Chemical skin peels are cosmetic treatments that involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and improve the skin’s texture and appearance. These peels can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and other skin imperfections.

Q: How do chemical skin peels work?

A: Chemical skin peels work by removing the top layers of the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing process and promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This process can help to improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance overall skin radiance.

Q: What types of chemical skin peels are available?

A: There are different types of chemical skin peels available, including superficial peels, medium peels, and deep peels. Superficial peels are mild and only remove the outermost layer of skin, while medium and deep peels penetrate deeper into the skin for more dramatic results. The type of peel recommended will depend on individual skin concerns and goals.

Q: Are chemical skin peels safe?

A: When performed by a qualified and experienced skin care professional, chemical skin peels are generally safe. However, it is important to follow post-treatment care instructions carefully to minimize the risk of side effects such as redness, swelling, or pigmentation changes. It is always recommended to consult with a skincare specialist before undergoing any chemical peel treatment.

Q: What should I expect during a chemical skin peel treatment?

A: During a chemical skin peel treatment, your skincare professional will cleanse your skin and apply the chemical solution evenly. You may experience a tingling or burning sensation during the treatment, which is normal. After the peel is removed, your skin may appear red or feel tight, but these side effects are temporary. It is important to follow post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal results.

Q: How does a chemical skin peel work?

A: Chemical skin peels work by causing controlled damage to the skin, which triggers the body’s natural healing process. This encourages the production of new skin cells and collagen, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Q: What are the different types of chemical skin peels?

A: There are three main types of chemical skin peels: superficial peels, medium peels, and deep peels. Superficial peels are mild and typically use alpha hydroxy acids, such as glycolic acid. Medium peels use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to penetrate deeper into the skin, while deep peels use phenol to target more severe skin issues.

Q: Who is a good candidate for a chemical skin peel?

A: Good candidates for chemical skin peels are individuals with sun-damaged skin, acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, or uneven skin tone. It is important to consult with a dermatologist or skincare professional to determine the type of peel that is best suited for your skin type and concerns.

Q: What are the potential side effects of a chemical skin peel?

A: Some common side effects of chemical skin peels include redness, swelling, peeling, and sensitivity to the sun. More intense peels may also result in temporary changes in skin color and increased sensitivity. To minimize these side effects, it is essential to follow post-peel care instructions and protect your skin from sun exposure.
