Chemical Peels in Islamabad:

Chemical skin peeling is a dermatological remedies that use controlled acid solutions to exfoliate the pores and skin’s surface. They put off broken outer layers, stimulate collagen, and display smoother, more radiant skin available in various intensities. These peels deal with an extensive range of troubles, from acne to pigmentation to fine lines.

The Science Behind Chemical Peel: 

Chemical Peels work by creating a controlled chemical injury to the skin, which triggers regeneration and repair at a cellular level. The science behind this works as follows;

• Keratolysis:

These work through a process called keratolysis. During this, the acid breaks the protein bands holding dead skin cells together. This will loosen the outermost layer, and the damaged cells shed more easily. This is the reason behind peeling and flaking after the treatment. 

• Controlled Chemical Injury: 

These peels intentionally cause a predictable, controlled injury to the skin. 

• Low-strength acids cause superficial injury. 
• Stronger acids cause deeper injury. 

 This controlled damage stimulates the skin’s natural repair mechanism without causing scarring when done correctly. 

• Collagen simulation in Dermis: 

Medium and deep peels reach the dermis and activate fibroblasts and increase the production of collagen types 1 & 2. Remodels the elastin fiber to improve the texture over time.

• Melanin Regulation: 

The Chemical peels help pigment by removing melanin-loaded keratinocytes. This disrupts the abnormal melanin distribution and reduces melanocyte overactivity.

The following are the skin concerns treated with the chemical peels.
