Dive deeper with Doctor Derm and Moona on the advantages and drawbacks of Chemical Skin Peeling on your face!

A chemical peel, also known as chemexfoliation or dermapeeling, is a cosmetic procedure that improves the texture of the skin. The procedure involves applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove the top layers. The solution causes controlled injury to the skin, which stimulates the growth of new cells and removes dead skin cells. The skin that grows back is smoother and can help reduce age spots and even out skin tone.






There are three types of peels: superficial, medium, and deep. For light or medium peels, you may need to repeat the procedure multiple times to achieve the desired results.






Common side effects of chemical peels include:


  • Redness
  • Dryness
  • Stinging or burning
  • Slight swelling





    Deep peels can permanently cause the loss of the ability to tan. Other complications include:


    • Loss of cutaneous barrier
    • Tissue injury
    • Infections
    • Abnormal wound healing
    • Pigmentary changes





      To prepare for a chemical peel, you can:


      • Limit UV exposure
      • Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 50+ every morning
      • Soak your skin daily for a specified period
      • Apply ointment
      • Take antiviral medication for 10 to 14 days
