What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses specialized chemical solutions to exfoliate and remove the outer layers of damaged skin. This non-invasive procedure triggers natural skin regeneration, revealing fresher, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin underneath.

Chemical peels can address various skin concerns including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. At Misaki Skin & Hair Clinic in Rohini, our dermatologists customize chemical peel treatments to match your specific skin type and concerns.

Types of Chemical Peels

1. Superficial Peels (Light Peels)

These are the gentlest chemical peels that remove only the outermost layer of skin (epidermis). They use mild acids like alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) and are ideal for:

• Dull and tired-looking skin
• Mild acne
• Minor pigmentation issues
• General skin maintenance

2. Medium Peels

Medium peels penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching the dermis layer. They typically use glycolic acid or salicylic acid and are effective for:

• Moderate acne scars
• Deeper pigmentation
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin tone
• Sun-damaged skin

3. Deep Peels

Deep chemical peels use potent acids like trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to reach deeper skin layers. These are strong treatments for:

• Severe acne scars and pitting
• Deep wrinkles and age spots
• Significant sun damage
• Extensive pigmentation

Benefits of Chemical Peel Treatment

1. Reduces Acne Scars

Chemical peels are highly effective for treating atrophic acne scars by removing damaged skin and stimulating collagen production. Regular treatments can significantly improve scar appearance.

2. Addresses Pigmentation Issues

Whether you have melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or sun spots, chemical peels help lighten and even out skin tone by removing pigmented skin cells.

3. Anti-Aging Effects

Peels reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots while promoting collagen and elastin production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

4. Improves Skin Texture

Chemical peels smooth rough skin texture, minimize pores, and create a more refined complexion.

5. Brightens Dull Skin

By removing dead skin cells, peels instantly brighten the complexion and give skin a fresh, glowing appearance.

6. Reduces Acne

Salicylic acid peels are excellent for controlling active acne and preventing new breakouts.

Chemical Peel Process at Misaki Rohini

Step 1: Consultation & Assessment

Our dermatologists evaluate your skin type, concerns, and medical history to recommend the most suitable peel type and strength.

Step 2: Skin Preparation

Your skin is cleansed thoroughly and sometimes pre-treated with specific solutions to optimize peel effectiveness.

Step 3: Chemical Application

The appropriate chemical solution is carefully applied to your face. You may feel mild tingling or warmth, which is normal.

Step 4: Neutralization

After the appropriate exposure time, the chemical is neutralized to stop the peeling process.

A soothing moisturizer and sunscreen are applied. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions for optimal results.
