Chemical Peels
Controlled chemical exfoliation using acids (glycolic, salicylic, TCA, phenol) to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate renewal. Treats hyperpigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture.
How Chemical Peels Works
Chemical agents break intercellular bonds in the epidermis, causing controlled desquamation. This triggers a wound-healing response: inflammation → fibroblast activation → new collagen/elastin deposition → smoother, more even skin.
📊 Evidence by Outcome
Glycolic and TCA peels significantly improve melasma, sun spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
