Chemical Peels: Types, Benefits & What to Expect

21 December 20256 min read

[{"type":"paragraph","text":"Chemical peels are among the most widely performed cosmetic dermatology procedures worldwide. They involve applying a chemical solution to the skin that causes controlled exfoliation, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. Chemical peels are classified by depth: superficial (glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid), medium (TCA 15-35%), and deep (TCA 50%+, phenol). They effectively treat acne, pigmentation, melasma, fine lines, sun damage, and uneven skin texture. At DermcareMD, Dr. Neha Athalye customises peel protocols based on skin type, concern, and tolerance for optimal, safe results."}]
