Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that use a chemical solution to remove the outer layers of skin, revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath. They are used to treat various skin concerns like wrinkles, discolored skin, and scars, and can be performed at different depths for varying degrees of improvement. 

• Medium peels:

  These peels penetrate deeper into the skin (using glycolic or trichloroacetic acid) and are effective for age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and moderate skin discoloration.

​

• Superficial peels:

  These use mild acids (like AHAs) to gently exfoliate the outer layer of skin. They are used for mild skin discoloration, rough skin, and overall skin rejuvenation.
