Chemical Skin Peeling
Chemical skin peeling is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a chemical solution to the skin's surface. The solution works to remove the skin's top layer, promoting cell turnover and rejuvenation.
The process aims to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin, addressing concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars.

The Process
The process for administering chemical skin peeling typically involves the following steps:
1
Consultation: Before the procedure, a consultation with a trained dermatologist or skincare professional is essential. This allows the practitioner to assess the client's skin condition, discuss expectations, and address any concerns. The aesthetician may recommend a specific type of chemical peel based on the client's skin type, concerns, and desired outcome.
2
Preparing the skin: The skin is cleansed thoroughly to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil. The aesthetician may also apply a protective serum to the skin to prevent any adverse reactions from the chemical solution.
3
Applying the chemical solution: The practitioner applies the chemical solution to the skin's surface using a brush, sponge, or cotton swab. The specific type, strength, and duration of the peel will depend on the client's skin type and the desired outcome.
4
Post-treatment care: After the chemical solution has been applied, the skin may sting or feel warm, depending on the strength of the solution. A neutralising solution is applied to stop the chemical reaction and calm the skin. The aesthetician may also apply a soothing cream or ointment to hydrate and protect the skin.
5
After-treatment care: Following the chemical peel, clients must avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen when going outdoors. The skin may also be sensitive for several days, requiring gentle care and moisturisation.

Chemical skin peeling is generally safe and effective when performed by a trained skincare professional. However, certain types of peels may not be suitable for individuals with specific skin conditions or who are prone to keloid scarring. A consultation with a skincare professional is important to determine if a chemical peel is the right treatment for the individual's specific needs and concerns.
