What are Peels?
Peels are cosmetic treatments that involve applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new, healthier skin. They can help improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
Types of Peels
There are different types of peels, including superficial, medium, and deep peels. Superficial peels are mild and only penetrate the outer layer of the skin, while medium peels penetrate the middle layer. Deep peels go even deeper into the skin.
Benefits of Peels
Peels can help treat a variety of skin concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. They can also improve the appearance of scars and sun damage. Peels can be customized to suit different skin types and concerns.
Case Studies
One study found that patients who received chemical peels experienced significant improvements in skin texture and tone. Another study showed that peels can help reduce the appearance of acne scars.
Statistics
According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, chemical peels are the third most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure in the United States, with over one million peels performed each year.
