There are many different chemical peels out there and what they are used for varies. Some are good for hyperpigmentation, others are great for scarring and there are some which are best for giving your skin a little bit of gentle rejuvenation.
The key to finding out which peel is best for you is research. Looking online can help you narrow down your options and give you an idea of what type of chemical peel will give you the best results.
It is also worth talking to your clinician and asking them what they think is the best option. They will have the knowledge and experience to recommend something which is best suited for your skin’s needs and the results you desire.
It is important that you don’t get a chemical peel without prior research as you risk damaging your skin. Some chemical peels can be incredibly strong and sometimes painful and the healing process requires time and patience, so thorough research is vital before deciding to have one.
