Chemical Peel Treatment For Skin Whitening And Acne Scar Reduction

Over time, our skin creases and looks dull. This is because of excessive exposure to harsh environmental particles — Sun damage, dust, climatic changes, and, of course, our bodily changes. Chemical Peels are regenerative cosmetic treatments that exfoliate the skin and promote the growth of fresh, smoother, and brighter skin underneath. 

Chemical Peel Treatment doesn't just improve your skin for lightening and brightening, but also fights free radicals and is an effective solution for acne scar reduction.

How Chemical Peel For Skin Whitening Works?

Chemical peel treatment is a popular method to improve skin texture and tone. It works by applying a chemical solution to the skin, causing the top layer to peel away.
The exfoliating acidic solution lowers the skin's pH from its normal level of 5.5 to about 3.8. This change breaks down the bonds that hold dead skin cells to the surface, making it easier to generate healthy skin. This process helps fade dark spots, soften scars, and brighten the skin's overall appearance. It also boosts the production of collagen in skin cells, which helps retain the after-effects of the treatment. 

Types of Chemical Peel Treatments

1. Light Peels:

This peel uses mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) to exfoliate the outer skin layer. They are great for improving uneven skin tone, reducing fine lines, and lightening mild pigmentation.

2. Medium Peels:

Acid solutions like trichloroacetic acid (TCA) are used in medium peels. It penetrates deeper into the skin and works well in healing radicals.

3. Deep Peels:

In deep peel, dermatologists use potent acids such as phenol or trichloroacetic in stronger concentration to penetrate the skin deeply (till middle layer). Deep peels offer dramatic results for severe scarring, wrinkles, and discoloration. However, they require more recovery time and are best done under medical supervision.

Aftercare For Chemical Peel Treatment

Proper aftercare is critical to achieving the best results and avoiding complications. Here are the basic steps to follow:

• Moisturize Regularly: The skin will feel dry and tight after the peel. Using a gentle, hydrating moisturizer helps heal the skin.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: The skin becomes more sensitive to the sun after a peel. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, and avoid direct sunlight for a few weeks.
• Don’t Pick at Peeling Skin: Allow the skin to shed naturally. Forcefully pulling off the dead skin can cause scarring or infection.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated from within.
• Skin-Healthy Diet: Eat foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E, like leafy greens, citrus fruits, and nuts. These nutrients promote healing and skin regeneration.
  

In addition to above all, avoid smoking to have a longer effect of this skin whitening treatment. Smoking dampens the skin cells from within.
