Chemical Peels

Overview

Chemical peels apply a controlled acid solution to remove damaged outer layers of skin, triggering the skin's natural wound-healing and collagen-remodeling response. Dr. Piya selects a peel depth suited to your skin concerns and downtime tolerance, from superficial refreshers to more intensive resurfacing.

How It Works

• Superficial peels (glycolic, lactic, mandelic, salicylic acid, or Jessner's solution) act on the epidermis, brightening the complexion and improving texture with essentially no downtime.
• Medium-depth peels (commonly TCA 40–50%) reach the papillary dermis, addressing sun spots, fine wrinkles, acne scarring, and pigment irregularities such as melasma, with swelling and peeling lasting up to about a week.
• Deep, phenol-based peels reach the reticular dermis for the most dramatic, longest-lasting results, reserved for select cases given the more significant recovery involved.

Ideal For

• Sun damage and uneven texture
• Fine lines and mild acne or rosacea
• Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• Acne scarring
