Chemical Peel Treatment in Varanasi

A chemical peel is a non-invasive treatment designed to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin by removing its outermost layers. This procedure is ideal for reducing the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone, resulting in a smoother, more radiant complexion.

What is a Chemical Peel?

Applying a carefully made solution to the skin results in controlled exfoliation during a chemical peel. The type of peel (light, medium, or deep) is tailored to individual skin needs. It aids in promoting the growth of new skin, showing healthier, more youthful skin with enhanced texture, tone, and clarity.

The treatment begins with a thorough skin assessment. After cleansing the face, a chemical solution is applied to the targeted area. The solution may cause a mild tingling sensation as it works to exfoliate the skin. Depending on the type of peel, it is left on the skin for a specific amount of time before being neutralised or removed. The procedure lasts 30-45 minutes, and you may experience slight redness or peeling for a few days post-treatment.
