Chemical Peel Treatment in London
A Chemical Peel is an exfoliating treatment that removes dead skin cells and stimulates cell renewal, revealing a smoother, more even complexion. It effectively reduces fine lines, uneven pigmentation, acne scars, and enlarged pores for healthier, rejuvenated skin.
What is Chemical Peeling?
Chemical peels exfoliate the skin, reducing pigmentation, scars, and signs of aging while promoting natural regeneration.
The skin consists of two main layers: the epidermis (with five thin layers) and the dermis (with two thicker layers). The basal membrane, responsible for skin renewal, helps restore a smoother, healthier complexion after deep peeling
Chemical Peel Treatment
Chemical peels are advanced skin treatments that help reduce pigmentation, scars, and signs of aging while improving overall skin texture and quality.
How Chemical Peeling Works
1. Exfoliation
A specialized chemical solution is applied to the skin, breaking down dead skin cells and unclogging pores to reveal a fresher layer underneath.
2. Regeneration
The basal membrane stimulates new cell production, promoting natural skin renewal and collagen formation for a healthier complexion.
3. Rejuvenation
As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, more even-toned, and radiant, reducing the appearance of scars, pigmentation, and fine lines.
