4 Chemical Peeling : Apply chemical solutions to the skin, causing controlled peeling and stimulating the
growth of new, evenly-toned skin.

How to use:
Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified skincare professional or dermatologist to assess your skin
type, specific pigmentation concerns, and overall health. This consultation will help determine the appropriate
type and strength of the chemical peel.
Skin Preparation: Before the chemical peel, your skin may need to be prepared by using specific skincare
products for a few weeks. This preparation may involve the use of retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), or other
ingredients to enhance
the effectiveness of the peel. Cleansing:On the day of the peel, the skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove
any makeup, oils, or impurities.
Application of the Chemical Peel: The chemical peel solution is applied to the skin using the peeling machine.
The machine may have different settings to control the depth and intensity of the peel.

The practitioner will apply the chemical solution evenly to the treatment area, avoiding sensitive areas such as
the eyes and lips. Monitoring: The practitioner will closely monitor the skin’s response during the application. The
duration of the peel may vary based on the type of peel being used.

Neutralization (if applicable): Some chemical peels require neutralization to stop the action of the peel. This
step is essential for peels that continue to penetrate the skin even after the application.
Post-Peel Care: After the chemical peel, the practitioner will provide post-peel care instructions. This may include
applying soothing creams, avoiding sun exposure, and using gentle skincare products.
Sunscreen is typically recommended to protect the newly exposed skin from UV damage.
Recovery Period: The recovery time can vary depending on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels may have
minimal downtime, while deeper peels may result in peeling and redness that lasts for several days.
Multiple Sessions: Depending on the severity of pigmentation and the type of chemical peel used, multiple
sessions may be recommended for optimal results. The interval between sessions will depend on the practitioner’s
assessment.
Benefits: Helps reduce hyperpigmentation, especially when dealing with issues like melasma or post-
inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Pigmentation Reduction: Chemical peels can effectively target and reduce various types of pigmentation issues,
including sunspots, age spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Exfoliation and Skin Renewal: Chemical peels induce controlled exfoliation, removing the outer layer of dead
skin cells. This process encourages the growth of new, healthier skin, resulting in improved texture and a more
even skin tone.
Stimulation of Collagen Production: Chemical peels stimulate collagen production in the skin, enhancing
elasticity and firmness. This can contribute to a more youthful appearance and may help improve fine lines and
wrinkles.
Customizable Strengths: Chemical peels come in
varying strengths, allowing for customization based
on the specific needs and concerns of the individual.
Superficial, medium, or deep peels can be chosen
based on the severity of pigmentation and the desired
outcome.
Versatility for Different Skin Types: Chemical peels
are available in different formulations, making them
suitable for a variety of skin types and tones. It’s
important to choose the appropriate peel type based on
individual skin characteristics.
