Chemical peeling is a skin-resurfacing procedure that uses a chemical solution to remove the top layers of skin, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin underneath. This treatment can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and sun damage. Chemical peels vary in strength from superficial to deep, allowing for customized treatments based on individual skin concerns and desired results.
"I've struggled with acne scars for years, but after a series of chemical peels at AVANA Clinics, my skin looks clearer and more even-toned than ever before!" - Rachel, AVANA Clinics client
At AVANA Clinics, our chemical peeling treatments are performed by experienced dermatologists who carefully select the appropriate peel strength and type for each patient's unique skin needs. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes, with recovery time varying based on the depth of the peel.
The chemical peeling process involves:
1. Cleansing and preparing the skin
2. Applying the chemical solution (e.g., glycolic acid,
salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid)
3. Monitoring the skin's reaction and neutralizing the peel
if necessary
4. Applying post-peel skincare and sun protection
Chemical peels can be performed at different depths:
• Superficial peels: Gentle exfoliation, minimal downtime
• Medium peels: More noticeable results, longer recovery
• Deep peels: Dramatic results, extended recovery period
For optimal results, a series of treatments may be
recommended, along with a proper skincare regimen to
maintain the benefits of the peel.
