Chemical peels are a cosmetic treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. At Cosmodoc, we offer a range of chemical peel options tailored to each patient’s skin type and concerns. Our chemical peels can address various skin issues, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Acne and acne scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
The depth and type of chemical peel will depend on the patient’s skin condition and desired results. Our skilled dermatologists will assess your skin and recommend the most suitable chemical peel for you.
Chemical Peel Options at Cosmodoc:
-
Superficial Peels: These peels use mild acids, such as alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) or beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin. They are suitable for treating mild skin imperfections and require little to no downtime.
-
Medium Peels: Medium-depth peels penetrate deeper into the skin using stronger acids, such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA). They are effective for treating moderate skin issues and may require a few days of downtime for recovery.
-
Deep Peels: Deep peels use strong acids, such as phenol, to deeply exfoliate the skin. They can effectively treat severe skin concerns but require a longer recovery period.
Our dermatologists will evaluate your skin and recommend the most appropriate chemical peel to achieve your desired results while ensuring safety and minimal discomfort.
