Types of Chemical Peels Offered at Haven Medspa
Chemical peels can be broadly classified into three categories and based on your specific objectives, expectations, and severity of your skin-related conditions, our physician recommends the type of chemical peel that best suits your unique condition. The three types of chemical peels are:
Light
Also referred to as superficial peels, they are prepared using light peeling agents. These agents are exfoliating chemical solutions with limited potency. They are effective only for exfoliating the most superficial layer of the skin.
Medium
Medium peels are more powerful than light peels as they reach deeper layers of the skin and can effectively treat more complex skin issues. Though several types of chemicals are used for the preparation of medium peels, the most popular ingredient among medium peels is trichloroacetic acid.
Deep
Among all the chemical peels available, deep peels are the most potent. They are powerful enough to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin tissues. While you may experience a longer recovery period after undergoing deep peel treatment, the results you get to see are dramatic and you enjoy these positive effects for a long period.
