A spotless and flawless complexion is lying just underneath the surface of your skin—and dermatologists have found that a conservative treatment is one of the way there. Dermal fillers, Botox, Lasers, PRP are cosmetic procedures of our time, but the medical peels have found their feet again.
What’s great about medical peels is that it can be done for all skin types usually for a fraction of the cost of the other options. Medical peels are hanging around for a long time, though for a good reason—‘THEY WORK’
So just how far back do they go? Chemical peels are one of the oldest cosmetic procedures in the world, though they really seemed to gain mainstream popularity in the late ’90s and early 2000s. Believe it or not, women have been said to use the peels for over 2,000 years! Chemical peels are ancient-Egyptian classic and have existed since the time of Cleopatra. This famous queen used tartaric acid (found in wine) and lactic acid (found in sour milk) to give herself mild chemical peels. This practice continued through the Middle Ages.

What does a chemical peel do?
All chemical exfoliants used in peels remove outer layers of the skin (they exfoliate deeper than face scrubs while simultaneously getting to the core) though how many layers depends on the intensity of the peel. Skin will be left feeling softer and smoother after a healing period, which also varies with the intensity level. They leave face with a radiant glow as chemical peels sweep away complexion-dulling dead skin cells. This ultimate do-over enhances collagen growth resulting in younger-looking, healthy skin.
Having said that, chemical peels are useful for the following purposes:
- Acne
- Age spots
- Uneven skin tone
- Pigmentation
- Dull complexion
- Fine lines
- Melasma
- Rough feeling skin
- Sun damaged skin/ tanning
