Chemical Peels in Islamabad and Batkhela
A peel lifts the dull surface layer so the skin underneath comes through. On skin like ours the strength has to be chosen carefully.
What it actually is
A solution is applied for a few minutes and then neutralised. Over the following days the surface layer lifts and flakes, and the skin that replaces it is more even in tone.
Strength matters more here than with anything else we do. A peel that is too strong for brown skin can leave pigmentation worse than it started, which is the single most common mistake made in this country.
The practical details
- How long it takes
- About thirty minutes.
- Recovery
- Flaking for two to five days depending on strength.
- When you see it
- Once the flaking finishes.
- How long it lasts
- A course holds, with sun protection.
What it helps with
- Uneven tone and dark patches
- Marks left by acne
- Blocked, congested skin
- Dullness that will not shift
What it will not do
Peels do not fix deep pitted scarring, which needs needling or laser. They also are not the right first step while acne is still actively breaking out.
Being honest with you
We start gentler than you probably want and build up. Going hard on pigmented skin is how people end up darker rather than clearer. Daily sun protection does more for pigmentation than any single session we can give you, and we will keep saying so.
