Chemical Peels: Medical-Grade Skin Resurfacing for Transformative Results
Medical-Grade Skin Resurfacing for Transformative Results
What Is a Chemical Peel?
- Acid application - pH and concentration determine depth
- Protein denaturation - Acids break bonds between dead skin cells
- Controlled damage - Triggers inflammation and healing cascade
- Epidermal shedding - Old skin peels away (visible with medium-depth)
- Dermal remodeling - New collagen and elastin production
