What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that improves the appearance of skin on the face, neck, legs, arms, or body (with the exception of sensitive areas such as near the eye or on the genitals). Also referred to as derma-peeling and chemexfoliation, they are safely administered by a medical aesthetician with good knowledge of dermatology under the supervision of a physician. Chemical peel procedures are relatively short but have effective results that are long lasting. A single treatment can achieve the desired results, though more are typically required depending on the severity of the problem and the type of skin.

At Toronto Cosmetic Clinic, chemical peel treatments apply a solution to the target area in order to gently blister the uppermost layers of the skin. These unwanted layers are then removed as delicately as possible. By doing so, the skin is reinvigorated, boosting the growth of new cells and the production of collagen vital for firmness. Immediately following a procedure, the skin will be sensitive to sun exposure, and redness, crusting, and flaking may occur for a few days. However, these symptoms will gradually disappear within a couple of days to a couple of weeks, depending on the strength of the peel. Smoother skin is revealed, featuring far less blemishes, wrinkles and blotches. Enlarged pores and sun damaged or acne-prone skin can also be treated. Since only the superficial layers are removed, those seeking treatment for sagging skin, deep wrinkles and furrows should consider another more effective cosmetic procedure available at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic.

As a matter of fact, even without the assistance of a chemical peel, the cells comprising these layers of skin naturally shed throughout our whole life. However, this generally does not occur in a uniform manner. Blemishes and wrinkles normally do not fade with this natural process.

There are a variety of chemical peels available, all offered at Toronto Cosmetic Clinic. These are the the Sensi Peel®, and for the body, the PCA Professional™ Smoothing Body Peel Treatment. Each type of chemical peel is comprised of a specific acid-based solution. The type of chemical peel suitable for your skin will depend on your skin type, the problem and what result you'd like to achieve.

Chemical peels are not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.
