Professional Chemical Peels for Skin Renewal and Rejuvenation

Target acne scars, fine lines, and pigmentation for a youthful glow.

Are you looking for a way to refresh and renew your skin? Chemical Peels at Hampstead Aesthetics might be the perfect solution for you. This non-invasive treatment works by gently exfoliating the skin to remove dead cells, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.

What is a Chemical Peel?

A Chemical Peel is a skincare treatment that involves applying an acid-based solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers. This process helps to improve the texture, tone, and appearance of the skin. 

 

Chemical peels are most commonly used on the face, but they can also be applied to other areas like the backs of the hands. The strength of the chemical solution and the duration of its application will determine the depth of exfoliation, targeting skin concerns such as fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation.

How Chemical Peels Work?

Chemical peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin that exfoliates the outer layers, stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. This leads to the regeneration of fresh, healthy skin.

 

There are three levels of chemical peels, each targeting different depths of the skin:

  1. Superficial Peels: These target only the outermost layer of skin, addressing minor concerns like mild pigmentation and fine lines.

  2. Medium Depth Peels: These affect both the outer and deeper layers of the skin, treating acne scarring, sun damage, and wrinkles.

  3. Deep Peels: These penetrate deeper into the dermal layers, providing more long-lasting and significant results for severe skin issues like deep wrinkles and extensive sun damage.

The treatment helps reduce skin discoloration, fine lines, and texture irregularities by stimulating collagen production and encouraging skin regeneration.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels offer a variety of benefits for skin health and appearance:

  • Improves Skin Texture and Tone: By removing dead skin cells and stimulating the growth of fresh skin, chemical peels help to refine skin texture, leaving it smoother and more even-toned.

  • Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Chemical peels promote collagen production, which helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful complexion.

  • Fades Pigmentation and Sun Damage: Whether it’s age spots, sun spots, or uneven pigmentation, chemical peels can lighten dark areas and help even out skin tone.

  • Treats Acne and Scarring: For those with acne-prone skin, chemical peels can help unclog pores, reduce acne outbreaks, and improve the appearance of acne scars.

  • Improves Skin Hydration: By exfoliating the skin, chemical peels enhance the skin’s ability to retain moisture, promoting a more hydrated and glowing complexion.
