Chemical Peel Treatment in Vasant Kunj, Delhi

At Kara Clinic, Vasant Kunj, Delhi, chemical peel treatments are customised to the individual’s skin type, concerns, sensitivity, and skincare goals.

The chemical treatment plan is created by an expert, Dr. Rashmi Sharma, to provide controlled exfoliation and skin renewal, and long-lasting skin improvements, without weakening the skin’s protective barrier.

Here are a few of the most recommended chemical peel treatments:

1. Glycolic Peel– This is the mildest chemical exfoliant, an alpha-hydroxy acid (with concentration 20-70%). When applied to the targeted area, it removes the epidermal layer to treat superficial skin imperfections such as mild acne, dullness, pigmentation, uneven tone, enlarged pores, and fine lines. The desired level of brightness and skin smoothness is only achievable with repeated treatments.

It is ideal for those considering a chemical peel treatment. After application, slight redness or peeling is common for 1-2 days.

2. Salicylic Acid Peel– This is a mild to medium-strength chemical exfoliant, a beta-hydroxy acid. When applied to the targeted area at a strength of 10-20%, it can penetrate beyond the superficial skin layers to treat mild to moderate skin imperfections.

It is recommended for repeated use on oily, acne- or rosacea-prone skin to help make skin clearer, smoother, and more evenly toned. The highest concentration is usually for stubborn acne and photodamaged skin. After this peel application, mild peeling, slight stinging, and some redness are expected for a few hours.

3. Lactic Acid Peel– This is another gentle chemical exfoliant, an alpha-hydroxy acid, that works just superficially on the skin to address mild skin concerns. Lactic acid is derived from milk and thus works as a natural humectant for the skin.

It is recommended for addressing concerns about dry, sensitive skin, as it does not irritate the skin but rather leaves it softer and better hydrated.

4. Pigmentation Peel– This is a specially formulated peel for fading sun tanning, age spots, melasma, and freckles. It can improve natural skin coloration by reducing melanin build-up and make skin more evenly toned by normalising melanin distribution in just a few days.

Specific acids are recommended for different types of pigmentation, like glycolic acid for mild peeling and prepping of the skin; kojic acid for melasma and sensitive skin; yellow peel for stubborn pigmentation and photoaging; lactic acid for mild pigmentation/dullness and dry skin; and black peel (lactic, jasmonic, and salicylic acid) for acne-prone skin.

5. Anti-Aging Peel– This is a reti-noic-acid-based peel, a superficial-to-medium peel, that can go up to the skin’s middle layer- the dermis to activate fibroblasts for collagen and elastin production and increase skin cell turnover while neutralising the free radicals. It is suggested for early fine lines and wrinkles, UV-damaged skin, and acne.

It causes slight peeling, dryness, and skin redness for 2-4 days. Repeated treatments yield a remarkable improvement in the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
