FAQ SKIN REJUVENATION

---

This FAQ provides an overview of chemical peels, including their cost, downtime, frequency, types of acids used, recovery time, side effects, and sensitivity to sunlight. It also emphasizes the importance of sunscreen after undergoing a chemical peel.

A: A chemical peel is a non-surgical aesthetic procedure in which an acidic solution is applied to the skin, breaking the bonds between old skin cells and effectively sloughing off the outermost layer of old, dead skin. This removal of dead skin cells reveals new, fresh skin, encourages new skin cell development, and boosts collagen production

A: There are three main types of acids used in peels: alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and trichloroacetic acid (TCA). AHAs are derived from natural sources such as fruits and milk products, and BHAs are derived from plants and are more effective at exfoliating oily skin. TCA is a stronger acid and is used for deeper peels

A: How often you need a peel will depend on your individual goals and concerns. For most people, periodic peels (every 4-6 weeks) will help maintain results

A: Yes, your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight after a chemical peel, so it’s important to wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day—even if it’s cloudy
