chemical Peel classificationsChemical Peel Classifications
Chemical peels are classified depending on the depth of penetration of the ingredients used.
-
Superficial chemical peels decrease the pH, which loosens the connections between dead skin cells, inducing exfoliation and stimulating new cell growth.
This process causes superficial layers of dead skin to peel off, revealing a smoother and more radiant complexion.
Superficial peels rarely cause side effects. However, hyperpigmentation can still occur with darker skin types.
-
Medium chemical peels cause protein coagulation and cell necrosis (cell death) in the epidermis and dermis.
This induces inflammation and the wound-healing cascade, which leads to dermal regeneration including collagen stimulation.
Medium chemical peels require more downtime and carry with them a higher chance of side effects including hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, infection and scars.
-
Deep chemical peels cause protein coagulation and cell necrosis (cell death) in the epidermis and dermis.
This induces inflammation and the wound-healing cascade, which leads to dermal regeneration including collagen stimulation.
Deep chemical peels require more downtime and carry with them a higher chance of side effects including hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, infection and scars.
