Chemical Peels: Reveal Radiant, Healthy Skin
Chemical peels are a transformative skin treatment that can address a wide range of skin concerns, from acne scars and pigmentation to fine lines and dullness. At Dr. Aswani’s Clinic, we offer expert-guided chemical peels designed to exfoliate, rejuvenate, and restore your skin’s natural glow. Whether you’re looking to correct imperfections or simply refresh your complexion, chemical peels can help you achieve healthier, smoother, and more radiant skin.
What are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the top layer of the skin. This process encourages cell turnover, revealing the fresh, healthier skin beneath. Depending on your skin concerns, the intensity of the peel can be customized to target superficial, medium, or deep layers of the skin.
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Application of the Solution:
A chemical solution is applied to the skin, which gently exfoliates and loosens the bonds between dead skin cells.Exfoliation Process:
Over the next few days, the treated skin peels off, making way for new, smoother skin.Cellular Renewal:
The process stimulates collagen production and improves skin tone, texture, and overall clarity.
