Chemical peeling is a dermatological procedure that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and remove the top layers of damaged skin. It helps reveal smoother, clearer, and more even-toned skin. This treatment is especially effective in addressing **acne**, **acne scars**, **melasma**, and **uneven pigmentation**.
What is Melasma?
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes dark, discolored patches on the skin, often triggered by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or pregnancy. Chemical peels help lighten these patches by promoting skin cell turnover and reducing melanin buildup.
What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to exfoliate and improve skin texture. The strength of the peel depends on the severity of the condition being treated.
Benefits:
- Reduces acne and unclogs pores
- Improves skin texture and tone

Chemical peeling is a proven treatment for acne, melasma, and uneven skin tone. It is safe when performed by a licensed dermatologist or aesthetic specialist. Depending on your skin type and concern, a personalized plan will be recommended.
