SKIN RENEWAL · TREATMENT
Chemical peels
A chemical peel uses a selected solution to exfoliate the skin. The depth and formulation determine what it can address and how much recovery you should expect.
Is it right for me?
A consultation considers your skin tone, concern, current skincare and previous reactions. Recent irritation or infection may mean postponing treatment.
Tell the clinician about cold sores, unusual scarring, pigment changes after injury, current medicines and recent procedures. Active infection or irritated skin may require treatment first.
Evidence and realistic expectations.
Chemical peeling can improve selected surface pigment and texture concerns. Effects and recovery depend on the substance, concentration and depth; “a peel” is not one uniform procedure.
Deeper peeling is not automatically better. Irritation, infection, scarring and persistent lighter or darker patches are possible. A peel may form part of melasma care but cannot promise a permanent cure.
Risks to understand.
Redness, swelling, infection, prolonged pigment change and scarring are possible. Your skin tone, previous reactions, current medicines and ability to follow aftercare influence suitability.
What to expect.
Consultation
Discuss your concern, medical history, previous treatments and what you would like to preserve. Dr. Roy will explain suitable options, alternatives, risks and fees before you decide.
Treatment
The skin is assessed and prepared before a suitable peel is applied. Dr. Roy explains the planned depth and aftercare rather than choosing a peel by name alone.
Recovery
Recovery ranges from mild flaking to a longer healing period, depending on depth. Ask for the expected peeling, redness and return-to-makeup timeline for your specific treatment.
Results and review
Changes are reviewed once the skin has healed. Several treatments may be considered, and pigment concerns can recur.
Number of visits
The course depends on the selected peel and your skin. No universal number of sessions is appropriate.
