Benefits of Chemical Peels
Revitalize your skin with the transformative power of Chemical Peels at PureMargins Aesthetic Clinic. Designed to exfoliate and rejuvenate, our chemical peels target various skin concerns, delivering customized solutions to enhance your complexion. Whether you’re dealing with signs of aging, uneven skin texture, or pigmentation issues, our expertly formulated peels ensure deep treatment that promotes healthier, more vibrant skin.
Deep Exfoliation
Chemical peels provide a deep exfoliation that removes dead skin cells from the surface layer, revealing fresher, brighter skin underneath. This process helps to unclog pores, prevent acne outbreaks, and enhance the overall radiance of your complexion.
Stimulation of New Collagen
One of the key advantages of chemical peels is their ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. As new collagen forms, it minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, providing a more youthful appearance.
Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Regular chemical peel treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By removing the outermost layers of damaged skin, peels help to smooth out these age indicators, resulting in a smoother and more even skin texture.
Correction of Pigmentation Issues
Chemical peels are highly effective in treating various forms of hyperpigmentation, such as age spots, melasma, and freckles. The peeling process helps to diminish the visibility of these blemishes, evening out skin tone and improving overall skin clarity.
Improvement in Skin Hydration
Many chemical peels contain hydrating ingredients that help to moisturize the skin during the exfoliation process. This not only prevents dryness and flaking but also ensures that the skin remains supple and well-hydrated post-treatment.
Enhancement of Product Efficacy
By removing the barrier of dead skin cells, chemical peels increase the skin’s permeability. This enhancement allows skincare products, such as moisturizers and serums, to penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective.
Long-Term Skin Health
With regular treatments, chemical peels can significantly improve the long-term health of your skin. They help to maintain a balance of oils, prevent future breakouts, and sustain a clear, refined complexion.
What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a form of exfoliation that uses a chemical solution to remove dead cells from the upper layer of the skin to reveal newer, more radiant skin underneath. The types of acids used in these solutions vary, including but not limited to, glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or carbolic acid (phenol). Each type of acid offers a different level of penetration and effectiveness, depending on the skin type and the desired results.
The process begins with the practitioner cleansing the skin thoroughly. Then, the chemical solution is carefully applied to the skin. The type and concentration of the chemical applied dictate the depth of the peel. During the application, patients may feel a tingling or burning sensation that lasts a few minutes. After the prescribed time, the solution is neutralized and washed off, or in some cases, it might be left on the skin to continue working.
What To Expect
Step 1 – Consultation Your treatment begins with a thorough consultation with a skincare specialist. During this session, your skin type, concerns, and goals are assessed to determine the most appropriate type and depth of chemical peel. This ensures the treatment is tailored to your specific needs.
Step 2 – Skin Cleansing Before the peel, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, and impurities. This step is crucial to ensure that the chemical solution can be evenly applied and penetrate effectively.
Step 3 – Preparing the Skin Depending on the type of peel and your skin’s sensitivity, a pre-treatment solution might be applied to prepare the skin, ensuring it receives the peel uniformly across its surface.
Step 4 – Applying the Chemical Solution The selected chemical solution is carefully applied to the skin. The type of solution used varies based on the desired outcome and skin type. You may feel a tingling or burning sensation during this application, which is normal.
Step 5 – Monitoring the Skin The solution is left on the skin for a specific amount of time, which can vary from a few minutes to longer, depending on the strength of the peel and the desired depth of exfoliation. During this time, your practitioner will closely monitor your skin’s reaction to the peel to ensure safety.
Step 6 – Neutralizing the Solution After the appropriate amount of time, the chemical solution is neutralized with a buffering agent. This stops the chemical action of the peel and begins the process of calming and cooling the skin.
Step 7 – Post-Peel Care Immediately after the peel, a soothing agent may be applied to help soothe any irritation and begin the healing process. You will be provided with specific aftercare instructions which may include the use of mild cleansers, hydrating moisturizers, and strict sun avoidance. Sunscreen is essential to protect the new skin from UV damage.
Step 8 – Follow-Up Depending on the type of peel, a follow-up appointment might be scheduled to monitor the healing process and assess the treatment’s results. Further treatments may be recommended to achieve the best results, especially for deeper concerns.

Areas Treated
Chemical peels are most frequently applied to the face to address a range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. By removing the damaged outer layers of skin, facial peels reveal brighter, smoother, and more even-toned skin beneath. This treatment is particularly effective in softening fine lines around the eyes and mouth, improving skin clarity, and enhancing overall radiance. Many people choose facial peels for a rejuvenated appearance, as the skin’s renewed surface looks fresher and younger.
The neck often shows early signs of aging, with sagging skin and fine lines due to its delicate nature and exposure to environmental factors. Chemical peels can effectively treat the neck area by tightening the skin, softening wrinkles, and reducing sun damage. With the careful application of a chemical solution suited for the thin skin of the neck, the peel helps smooth out the texture, resulting in a firmer, more youthful look. Regular treatments can help maintain a balanced, even tone that complements the rejuvenated face.
The décolletage, or upper chest area, is highly susceptible to sun damage, often showing signs of aging, such as pigmentation spots, rough texture, and fine lines. A chemical peel can help to rejuvenate this area by breaking down uneven pigmentation, smoothing out the skin’s surface, and restoring a more uniform tone. By encouraging cell turnover and collagen production, peels help to revitalize the décolletage, making it look smoother, healthier, and more youthful. This treatment is especially popular for individuals who want an even appearance across the face, neck, and chest.
The hands are one of the first areas to reveal signs of aging due to frequent exposure to the sun and environmental factors. Chemical peels for the hands target issues such as wrinkles, sunspots, and thinning skin. By applying a gentle peel, dead skin cells are removed, and new skin growth is stimulated, resulting in a smoother texture and a reduction in age spots. This rejuvenation helps hands appear softer, more hydrated, and younger, harmonizing with facial improvements and enhancing overall aesthetics.
The back is a common area for skin issues like acne scars, uneven texture, and hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels can be particularly effective for individuals dealing with back acne scars or dark spots left by previous breakouts. By penetrating the outer layers of the skin, the peel helps to fade scars, smooth rough patches, and even out skin tone. The back becomes clearer, smoother, and more refined, providing added confidence for those who wish to wear back-revealing clothing.
The shoulders, like the back, can suffer from acne scars, roughness, and sun damage, especially for individuals who spend significant time outdoors. Chemical peels can help improve the appearance of the shoulders by exfoliating the top layers of damaged skin, reducing scars, and softening rough texture. The treatment promotes a clearer, more even skin tone, making the shoulders look smooth, bright, and more refined.

Preparation
- Avoid Exfoliants and Retinoids: For at least one week before your treatment, stop using exfoliating products, retinoids, and other active ingredients that may sensitize the skin. This helps prevent excessive irritation during the peel.
- Minimize Sun Exposure: Limit direct sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for at least a week prior to your peel. Sunburned or tanned skin can react poorly to the peel and increase the risk of complications.
- Stay Hydrated: Ensure you’re well-hydrated leading up to the treatment. Drinking plenty of water and moisturizing your skin can aid in a smoother healing process post-treatment.
- Avoid Other Treatments: Refrain from waxing, laser treatments, or other intense skincare procedures at least two weeks before your peel, as they can make your skin more sensitive to the chemical solution.
Aftercare
- Sun Protection: After the peel, your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight, so apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 daily. Avoid direct sunlight as much as possible.
- Gentle Cleansing and Moisturizing: Use a mild, non-irritating cleanser and a hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin nourished and reduce dryness or flakiness as it heals. Avoid harsh ingredients.
- No Picking or Scratching: Resist the urge to pick or peel flaking skin. Allow it to shed naturally to prevent scarring or damage to the new skin underneath.
- Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from intense exercise, hot showers, and saunas for 48 hours after the peel, as excessive sweating and heat can irritate the skin and slow down the healing process.
