Chemical peels are a skin rejuvenation method used to remove dead cells from the upper layer of the skin. They contain specialized chemical solutions such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and TCA (trichloroacetic acid). These acids promote controlled exfoliation, promoting the formation of new, fresh, and smooth skin.
The treatment is recommended for reducing issues such as acne scars, sunspots, fine wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

How is Chemical Peeling Applied?

Before the treatment, a dermatologist performs a skin analysis. The skin is then cleansed, and the appropriate chemical solution is carefully applied. A slight burning or stinging sensation may occur during the treatment, but it is usually short-lived.
Once the chemical's effect has passed, it is neutralized and the skin is moisturized with a soothing cream. The treatment takes approximately 15-30 minutes and is safely performed in a clinical setting.

It's generally painless. You may experience a slight burning or stinging sensation during the treatment, but this subsides within a few minutes.

It's not recommended for the first 24 hours. Once the skin has calmed down, you can apply makeup with products recommended by your dermatologist.

4. How long do chemical peel effects last?
While this varies depending on the individual's skin type, effective results can last between 3 and 6 months. Regular sessions increase longevity.

5. Can a chemical peel be performed at home?
Chemical peels require professional supervision. Improper acid application at home can cause burns, blemishes, and permanent damage to the skin. Therefore, peels should always be performed by a dermatologist or qualified aesthetician.

6. Does a chemical peel leave permanent scars?
If performed correctly, it won't leave permanent scars. However, if your skin type is unsuitable, if products with high acidity are used, or if post-treatment care is neglected, the risk of spots and scars may increase.

7. How long does it take for a chemical peel to heal?
Depending on the depth of the peel, the skin generally heals within 5 to 10 days. Peeling, redness, and mild crusting are normal during this time. For deeper peels, the healing time can be up to two weeks.

Yes, this is a natural part of the skin's renewal process. Crusting should never be removed; the skin should be supported with moisturizers and restorative creams.

10. When does a chemical peel show its effects?
Initial results are usually visible within 7-10 days. As the skin regenerates, brightness, smoothness, and skin tone become more noticeable. The full effect lasts only after a few sessions.
