  • Pigmentation solutions are specialized products along with highly effective ingredients that fades tanning, pigmentation marks, dark spots, and leaves your skin bright and luminous. In recent years, Chemical peels or resurfacers have emerged as an effective treatment option for hyperpigmentation because they remove the top layer of damaged skin while also promoting the growth of new, healthy skin.

  • A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. A chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.

  • Glycolic peel, Salicylic peel, Mango peel, Pumpkin peel, Innopeel, Skinbrite peel, Black peel, TCA peel are the different resurfacers available depending upon the requirement of the patient.

There are three basic types of chemical peels:

  •  Superficial or lunchtime peel: These are mild fruit acid extracts used to penetrate only the outer layer of skin to gently exfoliate it. The treatment is used to improve the appearance of mild skin discoloration and rough skin as well as to refresh the face, neck, chest, or hands.
     

  • Medium peel: These are applied to penetrate the outer and middle layers of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment is used to improve age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, freckles, and moderate skin discoloration. It also can be used to rejuvenate rough skin.
     

  • Deep peel: These are combination peels applied to deeply penetrate the middle layer of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment removes moderate lines, age spots, freckles, and shallow scars. Patients will see a dramatic improvement in skin appearance.

Skin resurfacers are treatments that help to restore a more youthful, beautiful complexion by removing the most damaged outer layers of skin to reveal the healthier-looking skin beneath and encouraging new, healthy skin cell growth.

 

Over time, our skin’s outer layers start to show wear and tear from aging, injury, and environmental factors in the form or wrinkles, scars, age spots and discoloration. Skin resurfacing treatments help to reverse these signs of aging and stress, helping you look younger, and even healthier, in the process.
