Chemical Peel Treatment in Anna Nagar
A chemical peel treatment typically involves the application of a solution to the skin that will remove dead skin cells, which allows the next layer of skin to develop and replace the old layer. The result is tightened, radiant skin with reduced wrinkles.
Essentially, there are three types of chemical peels, each distinguished by the depth of treatment:
- Superficial chemical peels – do not penetrate below the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin.
- Medium chemical peels – penetrate below the epidermis to the top layer of the dermis, but generally does not go deeper.
- Deep chemical peels – penetrate to the deepest layers of the dermis.
The depth of penetration depends on the type and strength of the solution and the amount of time the solution interacts with the skin.
