What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation where a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove its outer damaged layers. As the old, damaged surface sheds, the new underlying skin emerges typically smoother, more even in tone, and healthier in texture.

Peels come in different depths superficial, medium, and deep depending on the ingredients used and the degree of correction needed.

Chemical Peel Treatment

How Does Chemical Peel Work?

  • The peel solution (often acids like glycolic, lactic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic acid) is applied to clean skin.
  • It causes a controlled injury to the skin surface, triggering the exfoliation of the top layers.
  • The skin’s natural healing process leads to regeneration: new skin forms, collagen production is stimulated, and pigmentation or fine surface defects are reduced.
  • Depth and type of peel are customized based on your skin concerns and tolerance.

Conditions Chemical Peels Can Treat

Chemical peels are versatile. They can help with:

  • Surface acne and post-acne marks
  • Mild acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone and pigmentation (sunspots, melasma)
  • Rough texture or dull skin
  • Enlarged pores
  • Deeper peels may also address more advanced pigmentation or wrinkles, but those require careful evaluation.

Benefits of Chemical Peel Treatment

  • Brighter, more uniform complexion
  • Reduced appearance of acne marks and mild scars
  • Smoother texture and refined pores
  • Collagen stimulation for firmer skin
  • Tailored intensity to match your skin type and goals
  • Can be combined with other treatments (lasers, microneedling) for enhanced results

Procedure of Chemical Peel Treatment

  • Consultation & Skin Analysis – Your dermatologist assesses your skin type, concern, and suitability.
  • Prep & Cleansing – Skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased.
  • Application of Peel – The peel solution is applied in layers. You may feel tingling or a mild stinging sensation.
  • Neutralization / Removal – After a preset time, the peel is neutralized or washed off.
  • Soothing & Protection – Calming agents and sunscreen are applied to protect the new skin.
  • Recovery & Monitoring – You will follow a structured aftercare plan until complete healing.

 

Recovery time depends on peel depth  superficial peels may show light flaking, while medium or deep peels may require days to weeks of recovery.

Who Is the Right Candidate?

  • You may benefit from a chemical peel if:
  • You have skin issues like uneven tone, marks, mild scarring, or dull texture
  • You are healthy and realistic about recovery
  • You want improvements without significant invasiveness
  • You are willing to follow aftercare

 

Moderate to deep peels are best done in dermatologic settings due to higher risk and care requirements.

Who Should Avoid Chemical Peels?

  • You have active acne, open sores, eczema, or infections
  • You have recently used isotretinoin (Retinoids)
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • You have a history of keloids or poor wound healing
  • You are prone to pigmentation issues (especially in deeper peels)
  • You have taken certain medications or have systemic conditions that interfere with healing

Side Effects & Risks

Common, temporary effects include:

  • Redness, stinging, or burning sensation
  • Flaking, peeling, crusting
  • Sensitivity or tightness

 

Less common risks (especially with deeper peels):

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Scarring
  • Infection
  • Uneven tone or texture
  • With professional care, these risks are minimized.

Aftercare Tips & Recovery

  • Avoid sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily
  • Use gentle, hydrating moisturizers
  • Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, or strong actives for recommended days
  • Do not pick or peel flaking skin
  • Keep the treated area clean and protected
  • Follow up with your dermatologist for monitoring and maintenance

Chemical Peel Treatment – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes. When performed by a qualified dermatologist using medical-grade solutions, chemical peels are safe and effective for most skin types.

Most people need 4–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart for best results. The exact number depends on your skin condition and treatment goals.

You may feel a mild stinging or tingling sensation during the procedure, which usually subsides once the peel is neutralized.

Superficial peels have minimal downtime, with light flaking for a few days. Medium and deep peels may require more recovery time, ranging from 5–14 days.

Chemical peels can improve mild acne scars and marks, but deeper scars may require combination treatments such as microneedling or laser therapy.

Yes, but the type and strength of peel must be customized. At ANLON, treatments are tailored for Indian skin tones to minimize risks like pigmentation.

Chemical peels are not recommended if you have:

  • Active acne or skin infections

  • Eczema or dermatitis

  • History of keloid scarring

  • Recent isotretinoin (Accutane) use

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

The skin continues to age naturally, but results of a peel are long-lasting with proper skincare and sun protection. Maintenance peels may be suggested for sustained glow.

Mild redness, flaking, and dryness are common. Rarely, pigmentation changes or scarring may occur if not done under professional care.

At ANLON Skin & Aesthetics, every peel is dermatologist-supervised, customized for your skin type, and performed with US-FDA approved solutions, ensuring both safety and visible results.
