What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is an aesthetic medicine treatment that involves applying a chemical solution (glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, phenol) to the skin to exfoliate the superficial layers. This controlled exfoliation stimulates cell renewal, promotes collagen and elastin production, and reveals smoother, firmer, brighter skin. Chemical peel is a versatile treatment that can be adapted to different skin types and concerns.
Indications for chemical peel
Chemical peel is indicated for treating many skin imperfections. It is effective in reducing wrinkles and fine lines. It reduces hyperpigmentation such as brown spots. It improves skin texture and reduces enlarged pores. It treats superficial acne scars. It helps fight active acne. It restores radiance to dull skin. It can also be used to prepare the skin before other aesthetic treatments.
The different types of chemical peels
Chemical peels are classified into three categories according to their depth of action. Superficial peel exfoliates the superficial layers of the epidermis. It is ideal for younger skin, fine lines and mild imperfections. Medium peel penetrates deeper into the epidermis. It treats wrinkles, pigment spots and acne scars. Deep peel reaches the deep layers of the dermis. It treats severe wrinkles, deep scars and significant spots. It requires a longer recovery time.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chemical Peel
1Is chemical peel suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, chemical peel can be adapted to sensitive skin. The aesthetic doctor uses mild acids (AHA) at low concentration for reactive skin. A prior skin test can be performed to ensure tolerance. The depth and type of peel are adjusted according to skin sensitivity.
2How long does a chemical peel session last?
A chemical peel session generally lasts between 20 and 45 minutes depending on the type of peel and the area treated. The session includes skin cleansing, application of the chemical product (15-30 minutes depending on the type), neutralization and application of soothing care.
3When can I see the results of a chemical peel?
Results are visible from the first week, with a brighter complexion and smoother texture. Optimal results appear after 2 to 3 weeks for superficial peels, and after 1 to 3 months for medium or deep peels, when cell renewal is complete.
4Can a chemical peel be done in summer?
It is recommended to avoid chemical peels during periods of high sun exposure (summer) because the skin is more sensitive to UV after treatment. Ideally, the peel is done in autumn or winter. If treatment is done in summer, very strict sun protection (SPF 50+) is essential.
5What is the difference between a superficial and a deep peel?
