A medical-grade skin peel is a professional chemical peel treatment performed under the supervision of a dermatologist or licensed medical practitioner. Unlike over-the-counter peels, medical-grade peels penetrate deeper into the skin to target concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
Types of Medical-Grade Skin Peels
- Superficial Peels – Use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) to gently exfoliate the outer layer of skin.
- Medium Peels – Typically contain trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and penetrate deeper to treat fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation.
- Deep Peels – Use stronger agents like phenol to address severe wrinkles and deep scars but require more downtime.
Benefits of Medical-Grade Peels
✔️ Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
✔️ Treats acne and acne scars
✔️ Brightens dull skin
✔️ Improves skin texture and tone
✔️ Stimulates collagen production
What to Expect
- Procedure Time: 30–60 minutes
- Downtime: Varies (from minimal to a week, depending on peel strength)
- Results: Visible improvement after a few days to weeks
- Aftercare: Sun protection, hydration, and gentle skincare
Chemical peels can help patients rejuvenate their skin by removing 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.
