What is a Chemical Skin Peel?
A chemical skin peel is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment where a chemical solution is applied to the face or body to exfoliate dead skin layers, stimulate new skin cell growth, and improve skin tone and texture. Peels can treat multiple concerns – from acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, body acne, to overall dullness.
There are various types of chemical peels—superficial, medium-depth, and deep peels—each targeting specific layers of the skin to address different issues.
At RJ Clinic, we personalise your peel according to your skin type and concern, ensuring effective and safe results.
