A Typical Chemical Peel Procedure.

The procedure usually starts with cleansing excess oil off your face, taking care to avoid the eyes and hair area. After this, a chemical peel solution is applied. Some common chemical peel solutions are salicylic acid, glycolic acid, phenol, trichloroacetic acid. These chemicals penetrate deep into the skin, causing the peeling off of the outer layer. Skinne Face and Body Care will determine the depth of the peel based on your skin problem and type. The different types of chemical peels are;

1. Light Chemical Peel: This is subtle and is usually done systematically, targeting the outer layer of the skin. This works for uneven skin tone, dry or wrinkled skin, and sunburns. It will take just a few days for the treated area to recover with no downtime.

2. Medium Chemical Peel: In this case, both the outer layer and top middle layer of your skin are removed. This is best for uneven skin tone, signs of ageing or moderate wrinkling. It might take more than a week to recover and there is a need of downtime.
