Chemical peels aren’t for every skin type or need. Each one is specifically formulated to address a targeted skin concern, such as pigmentation and ageing, but some are stronger than others. At Byzance, we break down which ones will provide you more dramatic results and other information you should know before your visit.

Getting a chemical peels means lots of downtime

We recommend that you take at least a week of downtime from treatments or procedures after your deep peel. Your skin may appear slightly red initially, but this typically wears off within 48 hours.

They cause your skin to literally “peel off”.

The skin’s natural exfoliation process is accelerated by chemical peeling, causing the layer of dead skin cells on the surface to be removed. The new growth that replaces old, damaged skin will have a smoother texture and improved overall appearance.After chemical peeling, the new skin gradually replaces old skin.

Chemicals Peels Remove Deep Scars

Chemical peels aim to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. Although they are not effective at removing deep scars or stretch marks, they can be applied on small scars and age spots.Deep peels can help scars but they are not recommended on Indian skin types

Chemical peels are bad for you.

The word “chemical” might not sound like something you should ever associate with your skin, but when performed correctly chemical peels are a safe way to improve your skin.

Although all chemicals have the potential to be harmful, many are beneficial. Acids, for example, are often used to exfoliate the skin for cosmetic purposes and speed the healing of cuts and burns. The word “acid” tends to be a word people associate with danger, but this association is misleading as some of the most beneficial ingredients calm the skin and help heal wounds.

Chemical peels hurt.

The stinging sensation during the treatment is only temporary. The skin will appear red after a peel and some peels require downtime: 2-3 days for alpha hydroxy acid peels and 1 week for TCA or Phenol peels.You should not feel any discomfort after you leave the clinic

Chemical peels are required if you have skin problems.

While there are chemical peels that specifically target acne, acne scarring or sun spots, the most popular use of chemical peels is for facial skin rejuvenation (i.e. getting your glow back), and they’re ideal for anyone who wants to improve the look of their skin.

Chemical peels not only treat problem-prone skin, but they can also be preventative as well. Skin cells naturally turn over at a rate of 21 to 28 days, but this rate slows down dramatically starting in the late 20s. The application of alpha and beta hydroxy acids, which are superficial peeling treatments, helps stimulate healthy cell growth while exfoliating dead cells. This is an effective prophylactic measure only when proper skincare products are used along with proper sun protection.

Anyone can perform a chemical peel

Chemical peels for the face are a common procedure, but if you are planning to undergo a treatment yourself, or at a non-medical spa, it is critical that the individual providing the service is fully trained and experienced in performing this particular procedure

They take a long time.

A chemical peel will not take more than 20 minutes. To receive this kind of treatment, your skin needs to be cleansed and a chemical solution needs to be applied. The amount of time you spend under the treatment will depend on what kind and how strong the peel is.
