Chemical Peel
Exfoliation & Skin Renewal Treatment
What is Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation procedure that applies an acid solution to dissolve damaged skin cells and accelerate cell turnover. Depth depends on acid type, concentration, and application time. Korean dermatology clinics use peels ranging from superficial glycolic acid to medium-depth TCA and multi-acid formulations like VI peel to treat acne, pigmentation, and texture concerns. Acne and Breakouts: Salicylic acid penetrates pores to dissolve sebum plugs. Hyperpigmentation: Glycolic and TCA peels fade dark spots and sun damage. Melasma: VI peel and Jessner formulations target deeper melanin deposits. Fine Lines: Medium-depth peels trigger collagen synthesis in the dermis. Rough Texture: Superficial peels remove dead cell buildup for smoother skin.

How the Treatment Works
Assessment
A dermatologist evaluates skin tone, texture, and sensitivity to determine the appropriate acid type, concentration, and peel depth. Patients with darker skin tones receive specific acid selection to minimize pigmentation risk.
Prep
The treatment area is cleansed with an alcohol-based or acetone-based solution to remove surface oils and debris. Degreasing ensures the acid penetrates evenly across the entire treatment zone.
Acid Application
The peel solution is applied in a controlled, even layer using a brush or gauze pad. The practitioner monitors skin response in real time, observing frosting levels and color changes to gauge penetration depth.
Neutralization
Once the target depth is reached, the acid is neutralized with a buffering solution or rinsed with water. Self-neutralizing peels like VI peel do not require manual neutralization. A calming mask and SPF finish the session.
