Definition: Chemical peels are a type of facial treatment that uses a chemical solution to remove the top layers of skin. This process encourages new skin cell growth, resulting in a smoother, more even-toned complexion. Chemical peels come in various strengths, targeting different skin concerns like acne, wrinkles, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation.

Pros: Can improve skin texture, tone, and clarity, address acne blemishes, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, even out hyperpigmentation.

Cons: Strength determines downtime and potential side effects like redness, peeling, and irritation, not suitable for all skin types or conditions, requires sun protection after treatment.

Alternatives: Microneedling, laser resurfacing (more aggressive options), BioRePeelCl₃ BLUE (non-invasive peel).

Recovery Time: Varies depending on the strength of the peel. Superficial peels may cause minimal to no downtime, while deeper peels can take several days or weeks for the skin to heal completely.

Disclaimer: Chemical peels are medical treatments and should only be performed by a qualified dermatologist or aesthetician with proper training.
