Chemical peels are cosmetic procedures in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to exfoliate and remove the top layer of damaged or aged skin. This process can help to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sunspots, acne scars and promote the growth of new healthier skin.

Chemical peels vary in strength, with three main types:

Superficial Peels: Are mild peels that primarily target the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis) and are often used for skin brightening and mild exfoliation.

Medium Peels: These peels penetrate deeper into the skin, reaching the middle layer (dermis) and are effective for treating issues like wrinkles, pigmentation irregularities and some types of acne scars.

Deep Peels: These peels go even deeper into the dermis and are typically used for more severe skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles and significant skin damage. They require a longer recovery period and are undertaken less often than superficial and medium depth peels.

The choice of chemical peel depends on the specific skin issues you want to address and your unique skin type.

What causes hyperpigmentation?

Skin hyperpigmentation is caused by abnormal production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour, and a consequence of uncontrolled, localised overproduction of melanin inside the melanocyte, which causes irregular skin colouration and dark spots. Numerous external and internal factors can cause hyperpigmentation:

  • Genetic Tendency
  • Sun Exposure
  • Inflammation
  • Hormonal Changes
  • Ageing
  • Exposure to Chemicals
  • Photosensitising Medication
