Why Chemical Peels?
We offer chemical peels as part of our advanced hair restoration treatments. Chemical peels help rejuvenate the scalp, improving its overall health and preparing it for hair transplant procedures. By exfoliating the outer layer of the skin, these peels remove dead cells, unclog pores, and stimulate circulation. This process can enhance the effectiveness of hair transplant treatments, promoting better hair growth and healthier hair follicles. Our skilled professionals tailor each chemical peel to suit your specific needs, ensuring safe and effective results. Experience a revitalized scalp and optimized hair restoration with our expert care.
What is Chemical Peels?
- Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments designed to improve skin appearance by applying a solution to the skin.
- The solution causes the outer layers of the skin to peel off, revealing fresher, newer skin underneath.
- They can help reduce signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, and treat skin issues like acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation.
- Chemical peels come in different strengths: light, medium, and deep, depending on the depth of the peel and the desired results.
- Light peels typically require minimal downtime and may be done regularly to maintain results.
- Medium and deep peels usually involve a longer recovery period, during which the skin may be red, swollen, and sensitive.
- Results can vary based on the type of peel used, skin type, and the specific skin concerns being addressed.

Methods of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are popular skin treatments designed to improve texture and tone. They work by applying a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outer layers and promotes new skin growth. The three main types are superficial, medium, and deep peels. Superficial peels target the outermost skin layers, medium peels penetrate deeper to address moderate skin issues, and deep peels reach the deeper layers for more significant results. Each type varies in intensity and recovery time, depending on individual skin needs.
Before a Chemical Peel
Before undergoing a chemical peel, it’s important to prepare your skin to ensure the best results. This usually involves avoiding certain medications and skincare products that can increase sensitivity, like retinoids and exfoliants, for a few weeks. You might also need to use a gentle cleanser and moisturize regularly to keep your skin hydrated.
After a Chemical Peel
Post-procedure care is essential to achieve optimal results from a chemical peel. Your skin will likely be red and may feel tight or dry in the days following the treatment. It’s important to keep your skin moisturized with a gentle, hydrating product and to avoid picking at any peeling skin. Sun protection is crucial, so use a high-SPF sunscreen and avoid sun exposure.

Methods of Chemical Peels
Superficial Peels: These use mild acids like alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to gently exfoliate the outer layer of the skin. They’re great for treating minor skin issues like dry skin and uneven tone.
Medium Peels: These involve trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or a combination of acids to penetrate deeper into the skin. They target issues such as sun damage, age spots, and moderate wrinkles.
Deep Peels: These use stronger acids like phenol to reach the deeper layers of the skin. They’re used for more severe skin problems like deep wrinkles and significant sun damage. Deep peels require more downtime but offer more dramatic results.
