A chemical peel is a resurfacing treatment that uses acids to exfoliate the skin, remove dead cells, and stimulate cell renewal, improving skin texture, tone, and clarity.
There are three main types:
- Superficial Peels – Mild exfoliation, little to no downtime.
- Medium Peels – Deeper penetration for sun damage and pigmentation.
- Deep Peels – Intense exfoliation is recommended for deep wrinkles and scars.
Yes, chemical peels are safe when performed by a trained professional. However, certain skin types, medical conditions, or medications may require a consultation before treatment.
The treatment usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of peel and skin concerns. At Skin Renewal, we combine chemical peels with other treatments like laser treatments, Carboxytherapy and PDT, increasing the treatment time.
Downtime varies by peel type:
- Superficial Peels – Minimal redness, no downtime
- Medium Peels – Mild peeling, recovery in 3–7 days
- Deep Peels – More intense peeling, recovery in 7–14 days
